Floridays Resort Orlando, Orlando

Huge rooms and an absolute bargain. House keeping was average but the rooms were clean. Drinks were pretty pricey at pool but pool was nice.

Suite we received was filthy beyond redemption, with flocks of dust lying on the floor and dust on every surface. Everywhere in the suite something was broken. Old, clogged and filthy shower heads that spray in every direction, broken handles, burned out light in master bedroom, bathtub plug that would not open. Cabinet under the sink in the kitchen had strong smell of either something rotten or some kind of mold. We had to open it to get trash bin outside. Then we kept it closed. Bed sheets were dirty with some black and translucent stains on them. I normally sleep in my underwear, but here I could not bear these sheets touching me, so I slept in my clothes. I called reception and asked to get the suite cleaned multiple times, twice on our first day. They came, did something, but then left. First lady cleaned counter tops even though I explicitly complained about floors. Second gentlemen cleaned the floor in the living room, but no everywhere else. On our third day they did not replace our towels. Apparently their housekeeping service works until 6:30PM and we returned back to room at 5PM, so we were too early. When a lady did come, she only had big towels. So we ended up without hand towels for that night. On our last day I asked to have "full housekeeping service". They came around 6PM, we were having dinner and I sent them away. Needless to say that hotel then tried to charge us $40 for the service. We will not stay in this place ever again.

The room fit our needs perfectly, although there was some sort of odor in the room when we first arrived. It did not deter us from having a great trip. The pool area was excellent and the bar and grill served delicious food and drinks at reasonable prices.

I called the front desk as I could not adjust the AC thermostat below 70 when it was reading 72. The maintenance guy said it is system issue and it can't go lower than 70. What is interesting throughout the night the temp went up to 74 so they must manipulate the thermostat. If I wanted to feel like I was back in the middle east then I would re-enlist and at least get paid for sleeping miserably.
