Both the Point*Orlando and the Westwood Boulevard branches are designed for business travelers: each room has voice mail, two phone lines, free local phone calls and incoming faxes, speakerphone, and good-size work tables. But families also get a lot for their money. There's a full kitchen with everything you need to avoid restaurant tabs, including a dishwasher. The earthtone color scheme is warm if not memorable, and the suites have two queen- or one king-size bed, plus a sofa bed. Although neither hotel has a restaurant, lots of eateries are within walking distance of both. Pros: very economical; within walking distance of I-Drive restaurants and shops; free shuttle to Disney and Universal. Cons: I-Drive traffic can be heavy; no on-site restaurant; no room service; Disney is 30 minutes away.

Sierra Delight
Posted by Trace from France on 6/11/06
Sierra Suites Orlando,Florida Over a year ago now the family booked into the Sierra Suites after a totally exhausting trans-Atlantic flight. The place was initially chosen on the basis of client comments like this one. The welcome was superb, we were so tired and mercifully they kept the check-in to the barest minimum. We were so grateful for that! Car badly parked? No matter, go upstairs and get some sleep! The room was spacious and came with fully equipped everything! More than we could ever need. The staff would do the washing up when they tidied the room. One of the best parts was the breakfast. All you could eat, nothing ever ran out, good wholesome food with tremndous choice. Even now it is hard to believe that such a breakfast for four actually came price-included with the room. (I recall with special fondness the 5 different varieties of fresh muffins, I never could decide which I the five I actually preferred...)We would make our morning choice and then eat on a table outside, in the shade, just a few feet away from the pool and the jacussi. This was one of our best hotel experiences ever, anywhere, and should we come to stay in Orlando again, we would consider going nowhere else. For the money the room was also great value. Everyone we had contact with among the staff was helpful, polite, fully concentrated on making our stay as pleasant as possible.
We simply can't recommend this place enough. Go there! They deserve the business and you will not be disappointed.
