"Had a great time in Orlando. Would definitely stay again! Friendly staff, great room, pool was the perfect temperature. Overall service was wonderful."

"We recently stayed here. Our stay was enjoyable. The Hotel was very nice. The room was clean , we had a one bedroom suite. The breakfast on the other hand, was horrible. Coffee was not included with the breakfast, that was a seperate charge. The pool area is very nice , but the bar is overpriced and the drinks are very weak. The location was great if you were visiting Universal or sea World. We did not use the shuttle service or cab service so I cannot coment on them. The hotel changed towels and made beds daily. I was disapointed that the rooms did not have a safe in them . They did have boxes by the front desk but you had to asscess them with everyone around."

"The breakfast was a big catastrophe. Despite I had paid for a suit for 4 persons with breakfast included (2 adult 2 Children) and has given everybody´s name, age and other details, they literary forced me to pay extra for 2 children's breakfast. The restaurant has 5-6 tables, the biggest ones for a company of 4 persons, while the hotel has 2 towers with 12-13 floors, i.e. there must be more than 500 rooms, so imagine how that breakfast may look like! I stayed at two other hotels in the same trip, but I'll never return to this hotel again."

"Loved the pool and cabana area, wish it was closer to reasurants within walking distance other wise loved it."

"Very clean and updated rooms. the only con we had was that the shuttle to Universal drop you off at 8 in the morning and there wasn't a shuttle until 7 to take you back to the hotel. We stayed at this resort for the free shuttle to and from Universal but would have liked more flexiblity with the shuttles. If you want to stay after park hours or go come back and rest you have to take a taxi."

"I requested early check-in the day of and we arrived around 1pm, when check-in was at 4pm. The hotel held our luggage for us because our room wasn't ready and we were able to spend a few hours relaxing at the pool. They said they would call us when our room became available but they never did. It wasn't a big deal though since we were enjoying ourselves at the pool anyways. We stayed for four days and every day they gave us clean towels and made our beds. The only thing they didn't do was clean the bathtub. Having a shuttle service to Universal and Epcot was great, however when I asked the driver what time they normally get to Epcot he quoted me at 9:00am and the staff at the front desk said there was only one other hotel stop before going to Disney, but in reality there was 6! It took us an hour to get there (around 9:15-9:20am), which got in the way of our breakfast reservations. My only other complaint really has nothing to do with the hotel...the taxi service they use (New Way) dropped us off at Downtown Disney the night we arrived and the driver told us he would pick us up anytime before 2:00am, just to call an hour in advance. When I did this, the person that answered informed us that they do not do pick ups at Downtown Disney unless the customer pays for the return trip in advance. I explained that we would have done that had we known, but he said sorry the driver gave you the wrong information and could have cared less that we were stranded in Downtown Disney...not very professional if you ask me. When I explained the situation to the hotel they were able to direct us to where we could catch a taxi and were very helpful. My only other suggestion for the hotel is room service! I can't believe they are a resort, but only have a small cafe and a poolside bar. Overall our stay was wonderful....clean, comfy, and accomodated all our needs, plus the location is awesome!"

"Great Hotel!!! Full kitchen with washer & dryer...clean clean clean. Balcony view of Universal, Comfy King size bed, full & spacious bathroom with Shower, separate jacuzi tub, toilet in separate room and lots of counter space with storage in bathroom. Had several cabinets with a closet in bathroom. Great Hotel we will stay again! "

"My family loves the resort, friendly staff at the hotel and very spacious one bedroom is perfect for my family. They clean the room and change towels daily. The only complain I have is they don't vacuum the carpet and its an extra charge if you want it done"

"We stayed at Point Orlando Feb 08-12. Quality was fine. However, most hotels we have stayed at provided a FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST. The Point charged $9.95 each PLUS $2.50 if you wanted coffee. The washer-dryer in the suite was fine, but having to pay the front desk $1.00 for a box of Tide was not. Same goes for $1.50 for a cup of instant coffee in room. I would rather pay an extra $20-$30 per night than to be 'nickel and dimed' all the time. Dealing with the bus service was not the most fun I ever had, either."

"Great hotel and amazing rooms."

"PROS:
* The 1-Bedroom Grand Suite was really nice, which included both a shower and a jacuzzi tub, a fully equipped kitchenette including a Keurig coffee pot.
* The pool side cafe food was really good
* Within 2 long blocks from a Walgreens, which we walked to in order to grab supplies for the kitchenette
* About 1.5 miles from Universal Studio, could walk there if you really wanted to.
* The staff was friendly enough and when we asked for another mattress to place on top of the flimsy mattress on the hideway sofa-bed, we were accommodated promptly.

CONS:

*Other than replacing towels daily, the bathrooms were never cleaned.
* The resort boasted a close proximity (actually about 1.5 miles) to Universal Studios with daily shuttles, in fact, there was only one shuttle daily in each direction, so flexibility without a car left you with only a taxi-cab fare ($6-$8) each way, though there were additional shuttle times to Disney.
* The biggest peave I have was the fact that the hotel charges a daily $11 fee that was NOT listed in any hotel details until the trip was confirmed and the fee was listed in the fine print, which we didn't notice until AFTER we arrived at our destination.
* The workout room was very limited and did not have any audio or TV.

Overall I have stayed in better accommodations for the price."

"This hotel is amazing! We are a young couple. The hotel Has a luxury feel to it with a great price! Had no complaints. The outside bar is very nice with good food. Will definitely return on my next trip. They upgraded us to a one bedroom and it was the perfect stay :)"

"The resort was wonderful. Beds were comfortable and the one bedroom suite was very nice and accomadating. My only complaint is the shuttle service. It picked up and returned once daily for Universal, and more frequent for Disney. My complaint is the last pickup at Epcot was 10:05 pm and the light show started at 10:00. We chose to do the show and the return home took 2 hours via the Disney buses and city Link bus system. Drive your own car to Disney and everything will be wonderful."

"We love The Point. My wife and I stayed there for our 1 year anniversary. The room was perfect for the two of us to spend time together and relax. The room was very clean and spacious. The only thing we did not like was the fact that the only way to get into the hotel was through the main lobby. It would be a perfect hotel if there was room key entry available through all doors."

"Right in the middle of everything! A short 5 minutes by car to Universal Studios or Wet and Wild. The rooms were exceptionally nice, everything we could have asked for!"

" We LOVED the Point Orlando. The room was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and the staff was very nice and helpful. THere is a breakfast buffet, but there is also a bar that serves food at the pool from 11am to 11 PM. It's a beautiful relaxing atmosphere, and only about 2 miles to Universal Studios. Their shuttle service to the parks is limited - only one that takes you there in the morning and one that brings you home in the evening, but to take a cab to Universal only cost us 8 dollars. I would definitely stay here again."

"We had a very nice stay at the Point Orlando Resort. The one bedroom suite had a roomy and clean King size bed. The main room had a nice leather couch and HD TV. The kitchen was fully appointed and there was a stackable washer/dryer which was really convenient especially with the humid FL weather. The bathroom was excellent with a jacuzzi tub and tile shower. It was spotless clean and felt very new and not as rundown as a lot of hotels in the area are.

Our only issue was the transportation shuttle to the parks which was pretty beat up and leaked when it rained. I know it was a free shuttle but it was really on its last legs. Advice: the hotel is a bit on it's own so you need to walk about 5 - 10 minutes to get to amenities and restaurants. You can take the I-Ride Trolley too which is $1.25 per trip. If you are going to Universal Parks or Wet & Wild, the hotel is perfect in terms of proximity. If you are going to more Disney parks, expect a 30-40 min shuttle ride to and from because of other hotel pick ups.

"i am so glad i found this hotel, me and my fiance was so happy, the staff so helpful, my fiance asking to have a 12th floor and the staff give the room that we asking for , so i am so happy the room was so nice and big thank you all"

"I dont usually write reviews but this resort merits my comments.
What a beautiful room we had. We received a complimentary up-grade to
a one bedroom suite. Absolutely gorgeous in every aspect. Very spacious
plus the staff was most courteous and helpful.
Would definitely return to this resort."

"We fell in love with this facility. The room was clean and beautiful, very luxurious! The staff was great and we loved the location. In particular, we really enjoyed having an on site bar/restaurant! We chose to stay in and enjoy the facilty because of this. Book It has been awesome! I am a walking commercial for this site and the experiences I have had. "

"Very nice place....everything was clean and nice furnishings...including full kitchen with w/d, livingroom and full size diningroom table, balcony. Didn't have the breakfast buffet but it smelled good as we were checking out. Staff was very friendly and eager to help...they even have a bellhop. I don't know if I would consider this a resort tho...just one pool...no grounds to wander and not much landscaping...parking was kind of far from entrance unless you got a space in front early and stayed there for the night. I would consider this a very nice hotel suite type of property. Wish they had room service or restarauant on premises...we only stayed one night so didn't really use kitchen or have groceries. The walls needed a cleaning from guests banging there luggage against them in our room...other than that it was a great stay and the entire staff was very personal and friendly. Great for families or couples...anyone who is staying for a few days or more will find this like an apartment away from home with everything they need. Very close to Universal Studios. Nice place to stay on your getaway!!"

"We stayed at the Point Orlando Resort. It was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed! The room was much more than I thought it would be! The hotel employees all of them were so nice and helpful. I would stay there again and recommend this place to anyone! The only thing that I did not like was there was no wireless internet in the room but other than that it was perfect.

"Beautiful quiet facility with easy access to Universal. We walked everywhere; to Red Lobster, to 7 Eleven, the liquor store, to IHOP and then Univesal. Very close to Wet & Wild. No frills, nothing is free here except the newspaper, but the rooms are excellent and spacious. Beds are firm and the linens/pillows are wonderful! You need to pay for internet usage in the lobby. No game room. They have a nice clean pool, it was being maintained each morning. Has a hot tub too. This hotel is very affordable, just stock the refrigerator on your own and have a party. I do plan to return to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is wonderful, and I will stay at The Point. "

"We had such a wonderful experience during our visit to Universal Studio's Orlando and the main reason for that was our stay at the Point. We had a 1 bedroom suite and it was very nice, everything was clean and anytime you need assistance the staff was always avaliable. It's close to everything!!! The MOST important thing is that our daughter left behind her most valvable possession 'Blankie'. I phone the manager first thing the next morning and they had already recieved it back from the cleaning service and mailed it to our home via Fed X. We will continue visiting the Point any time we are in Orlando!!!!"

"The Point Orlando Resort was great! We would stay again. The hotel is close to all the parks, restaurants and shopping. The staff at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The presentation of the hotel was always nice and clean. The free shuttle was nice as well; wish it had a mid-day pickup from the park, but no big deal. Book It has been a great site to use. We had a worry free Vacation. Book it did everything for us. Flight, Hotel, Car Rental and Universal Tickets."
