Bottom Line

The 118-room Econo Lodge International is a value hotel off the I-4 highway and close to many attractions. Basic, no-frills rooms have mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs, but the bathrooms are dated with old tile and dim lighting. A lovely outdoor pool has an attached picnic area with greenery, and there's a free daily breakfast. Both the front desk and the business center are available 24/7, and Wi-Fi is free throughout. This property has a mandatory daily resort fee, however, which includes a shuttle to theme parks. Travelers seeking budget properties in the area might want to compare rates with the Howard Johnson Inn Orlando or the Floridian Express Hotel.

Oyster Hotel Review

Econo Lodge International

Scene

Plain, but welcoming, value hotel in a motel-style building

A friendly and welcoming atmosphere emanates through this simple budget property housed in a peach-colored motel-style building with wrap-around balconies covering its two-story facade. Though the exterior of the structure looks dated, the small lobby area is a pleasant space with lavender walls and white panelling. Metal-and-wood tables and chairs are provided in a small seating area near the breakfast serving station, but common spaces are few, though the palm tree-dotted grounds include a lovely pool and picnic area.

Location

Located off the highway and a short walk from several attractions

The hotel is located in a quiet area off Highway I-4 with attractions such as Titanic the Experience, Pirate’s Dinner Adventure, Wet ‘n Wild, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, and several restaurants less than a 10-minute walk away. Universal CityWalk, Universal Studios Orlando, and the Orange County Convention Center are a five-minute drive, while SeaWorld Orlando and Walt Disney World are 10 minutes from the hotel. Orlando International Airport is a 20-minute drive.

Rooms

Basic, plain rooms with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers

These no-frills rooms are clean and simply furnished with dark-wood furniture, patterned carpeting, brown bed runners, and peach accent walls. All rooms have work desks, small flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. Although some bathrooms have red granite vanities, most are dated and dimly lit, with old white tile in the shower/tub combos or walk-in showers and small white sinks with no vanity space attached to the walls. Hairdryers and Eco toiletries are provided. Guests should note that some rooms get traffic noise.
