As far as the bad reviews go... This isn't supposed to be a five star hotel... You get what you pay for. For a two start hotel this place is pretty impressive. I just recently moved to Orlando about three months ago and have stayed in almost every hotel on this side of town. Price: They all run about $60-$70 a night. Howard Vernon is right in the middle at $65 a night. Staff and the Owners: The owners are pretty strict and run a tight ship... Therefore the staff are hardworking and very attentive to needs of guests. The room: Basic room, no fridge, flat screen tv that swivels, a table and twi chairs, two full sized pillow top beds and one end table, each bed has its own lamp, a standing mirror with it's own light and very large space to hang clothes and put shoes with a bench to sit on. Room service: This is the ONLY hotel on this side of town that asks you everyday if you need room service and will actually have someone bring you what you need and clean your room daily. Once again this is because the owners have certain expectations out of their staff members and themselves when it comes to running this establishment. AND LASTLY THIS IS THE ONLY.... LITERALLY THE ONLY HOTEL ON THIS SIDE OF TOWN THAT DOESN'T HAVE ROACHES. EVERY OTHER PLACE IS INFESTED. I MEAN STRAIGHT UP INFESTED....
