Hotels near ICON Park in Orlando

Very satisfied with this hotel, the room is large, the location is good, go out is the Orlando Eye Ferris wheel, there is a large indoor swimming pool in the hotel, can be used before 4 pm, after 4 o'clock is someone else training base! Very recommend this hotel!

This hotel is in a great location and if you are lucky, you can get a room with an ICON Park View (a view of the huge wheel next door). I used the BonVoy app to check in and it also provides you a virtual key to check in so there is no need to wait in the lobby to check in with a person. The lobby was clean and in order and the first room I stayed in was well-maintained and clean. I was on the 4th floor facing the back of the property and the parking lot and restaurants behind the property and I discovered quickly that I could hear conversations from the parking lot a lot more clearly than I liked so I asked to be moved. I was moved to an 8th floor room that luckily for me had a view of ICON Park. Also, I requested no-feather pillows/comforters and the staff easily accommodated that request in both my original room the room to which they moved me. I found the bed to be comfortable, the bathroom/shower was clean and functional with hot water and overall, it was what I expected. I never used to pool or gym while I was there and did not take advantage of the free breakfast. Additionally, there are several restaurants very close by and it is a great area for walking as you can stroll down Universal Boulevard and then up to I Drive or you can simply walk through ICON Park to I Drive. Although it was a nice stay, here are some things to note before you choose to stay: 1. This property does not have dedicated parking. You will be competing for spaces with everyone who visits ICON Park or any of the restaurants behind the property. Surface parking can fill up quickly and the only other alternative is a parking garage which is free. I stayed on a Thursday night, so it was not an issue but I have been to ICON Park on a Saturday night and it usually warrants parking in the garage. 2. The ICON Park view rooms are great but the hotel sits directly behind one entrance to the park and all the restaurants behind the property so there is a lot of traffic, some periodic loud music from cars and horns blowing as cars try to get back out onto Universal Boulevard. 3. As it relates to the noise from traffic, I was surprised that after I was moved to an 8th floor room, the noise was still as noticeable as it was from the 4th floor. While I was not disturbed by noise from other guests in the rooms next to me or from the hallway, the noise from outside permeated the room easily. I could also hear people in the pool very easily. 4. I chose to have breakfast at a local cafe I love, so when I left at 6:45am I was met with loud music as I walked toward the parking lot the left of the hotel. It appeared as if someone was hosting some type of outdoor exercise class in the area next to Cafe 34 Istanbul. The parking lot was packed, cars were circling the lot to find spaces and it was not something I expected to deal with so early in the morning. I am not sure if that was a one-off situation or if it occurs daily, but I would recommend a higher floor

The location is very good and very convenient. But health is a bit of a problem, and there are flaws in the room.

The family and I planned to visit Universal Studios/Islands of Adventures for the long President's weekend (February 19-21, 2022). Prior to our trip, we researched and booked the Castle Hotel due to its reviews and close location to the parks. The bonus part was all the restaurants within walking distance. I had the pleasure of speaking with the Director of Front Office, Mr. Carlos Rosario prior to our arrival. I first want to start off by saying that the customer service is top notch at the hotel. It starts with Carlos being very helpful with my reservation and needs. He and his team went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, and it sure was! The President's weekend was packed with visitors due to the long weekend and several sport activities going on in the area. Once we arrived in Orlando, we went straight to the parks, I connected with Carlos to advise him we would be a late check-in, he assured us no problem. We arrived at the hotel around 10pm, i walked up to the front desk and was assisted by a wonderful agent who was very welcoming. I provided my name and right next to her was Mr. Carlos Rosario who welcomed me as well with a great smile!! Although he was very busy due to the traffic within the lobby, he took the time to welcome me and my family and assisted me with my room keys and explanation of the hotel. This type of service goes a long way. He mentioned he would be at the front desk all weekend and If I needed anything to just let him know. We went up to our room, opened the door and it was perfect! Clean and spacious. Beds were comfy and so was the pullout sofa. The following day we took off to the parks again, (great location to the parks as I mentioned). We arrived back to the hotel around 6pm and I had the pleasure of meeting the front desk agent, Ariel. She was so friendly and helpful with a few requests I needed. Even the morning that we were checking out, I stopped by the restaurant to get Starbucks and the staff there were friendly and always smiling. You truly sense the above and beyond feel at this hotel. I plan on returning and recommending this hotel to friends and families. What a great experience staying at this hotel. Kudos to Carlos and his Rockstar Team!

Awesome! Great customer service! Very clean easy check in will book again in future Directly in front of the Orlando eye!

I arrived in my room to the smell of damp and freezing cold. As a Brit, even I wasn’t used to that cold temperature. As I progressed into the room, I thought to myself “oh no, this looks like the type of place I’d get murdered.” I slept in fear the 2 nights I stayed as I thought I would end up bleeding out in the bathtub. Long story short, I survived my 2 nights in this fabulous ‘4 star hotel’ (should definitely be 5 stars if you make it out alive) would stay again!

It's a regular motel. I stayed here while visiting Universal Studios. It's clean inside and it's about a 30 minute walk to Universal. There is also a bus that takes you to the park across the street, so it's convenient.

The hotel has free parking. It takes only 10 minutes to drive to Universal Studios. It is very convenient. There are publix nearby, whole food, Wal-Mart supermarkets, and many restaurants nearby. I ordered a hotel suite. The facilities inside are a bit old, but they are still very clean. The refrigerator, microwave, and stove are all available. It is no problem to make simple things by yourself. Breakfast is served very early. From Monday to Friday, from 7:00 to 8:30, go downstairs to the lunch box. There are hot breakfast, fruit, yogurt and so on. Overall it is a good value for money hotel.

The price/performance ratio is very high. It's not far from the exhibition center by taxi. The neighborhood around the hotel is okay. The rooms are comfortable and hygienic. The facilities are a bit old, but not bad. I'll consider staying next time

First off let me start off by saying I was honestly Scared to stay at This motel had a bad experience of like 5 years ago but I must say a lot have changed since then I would highly recommend this place specially at the price
