Orlando - MCO Hyatt Hotel

Hello.

I am wondering what your opinions are of the Hyatt MCO hotel...

I will most likely spend a night at an airport-area hotel because I have an early flight back home, and am not too fond of the drive from Cocoa Beach in the dark.

Would any of you recommend the Hyatt? Or would any off-airport hotel be a better choice?

Specifically, I am curious about the noise in the rooms (coming from both the aircraft and the airport terminal).

Thanks so much in advance
:)

Great, thank you!!

I just stayed there. That hotel never disappoints. It's really quite nice for a hotel smack inbetween 2 terminals.

As a diamond, I always get a nice upgrade and a coupon for the buffet breakfast.

I have stayed there twice and was not disappointed. Noise was never a problem. It is ideal for a last night before a morning departure.

I have stayed there in the past a number times, and planning to stay there again in May. Always enjoyed it. It is one of the best airport hotels I have ever stayed at, and Hemispheres is a nice place to eat at.

We ended up getting "stranded" (but enjoyed it) in Orlando in December, right after Christmas. We had already checked out of our Disney villa, had the bags in the car trunk, and our flight was cancelled.

Since my husband is Marriott platinum, I looked for a Marriott hotel near the airport (thinking we'd just spend one night - ended up 3 nights for me and the kids, but got husband out the next day). I was SO GLAD to have found the Rennaissance at the airport! The rooms were so clean, the place was quiet, service was nice (they put us in connecting rooms on the club level, which was by far the nicest Marriott brand one we've encountered in a long time!).

They offer an airport shuttle, and it was really a nice place to stay!

Downside was we had no more clean clothes, so I had to go across the street to the Courtyard to wash some laundry for us. I don't recommend the Courtyard really - walking through it to get to the laundry room, I could see the rooms weren't nearly as nice.

The food at the Rennaissance was good - room service was actually very inexpensive too!

So if you're looking for another option, I'd look into this place!

Thanks :). I will look into that too, I saw that earlier when I was looking for hotels, it is significantly cheaper than the Hyatt

FWIW, if any of you are familiar with Restaurant.com, the following hotel restaurant hotels are on the program. get a certificate (on sale best) and easily save $25.

Both McCoy's Bar & Grill and Hemisphere Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport

I forgot to post an update - I did end up staying at the hotel last month. The room was very quiet, McCoy's Bar & Grill had great food, and the pool was also very nice.

Unfortunately didn't have time to go to Hemisphere's.

Just to pitch in, this really is a very good hotel. Have stayed there a couple of times now and we're planning another visit next year. Ideal for us coming off a flight from Europe - no messing around waiting for shuttles, second room half price for the kids, interconnecting room guaranteed when booking, relatively quiet, and indeed when the kids wake up at 4am EST (9am in the UK) we can go for a walk in the terminal!

The breakfast in hemispheres was very good, although looked expensive (we had a breakfast inclusive rate). Not much else to say, but certainly highly recommended. Because of the convenience, I can say we wouldn't consider staying at any other MCO airport hotel.

I have stayed here a LOT and find it's a very good choice

I am an elite with Marriott and Starwood and still pick this as my first choice if I can get a reasonable rate. It's just a lot less hassle.

For breakfast the food court in the airport.. Krispy Kreme! :)
