 Our Thoughts

We have stayed the the TownePlace Suites Orlando at SeaWorld several times and always enjoy the hotel.  While we don’t stay here for the amenities or dining options, it’s a clean and affordable hotel for a quick weekend at the theme parks (especially SeaWorld and Aquatica).

The South International Drive / SeaWorld area has seen a number of new hotels open over the past several years so the competition for the vacation and convention traveler is no doubt becoming more intense.   

With it’s spacious “all suite” rooms to compliment an affordable price, we feel that the TownPlace Suites is a great value for the money among the hotels in the immediate area.
