Profile

Quality Inn & Suites by the Parks is a budget-friendly, no-frills hotel positioned in Kissimmee, just off Entry Point Boulevard — very convenient for theme-park visitors. Its location makes it straightforward to reach Walt Disney World, with a short drive to a number of parks, and it’s also reasonably close to Universal and other Orlando attractions. While it’s not an on-site Disney hotel, its place in the “Good Neighbour” category gives a good trade-off: more affordable than many themed resorts, yet well placed for multiple park visits.

Guests staying here tend to value its practical comfort. The hotel has around 111 rooms, and many are equipped with a microwave, fridge and coffee-making facilities — plus free Wi-Fi to make it easier to plan and organise during your stay. The décor is straightforward and functional rather than luxurious, but for families or couples on a cost-conscious break, the essentials are well covered. Room comfort is boosted by pillow-top mattresses, and the overall standard helps justify choosing off-site over pricier resort hotels.

In the mornings, the hotel offers a complimentary grab-and-go breakfast, which is very useful for early starts to the parks. It’s not a grand buffet, but provides a solid spread to get you fuelled up — think pastries, cereals, fruit, tea and coffee. For many British visitors, that means less time and money spent finding breakfast elsewhere, especially when you want to maximise your park days.

Facilities at Quality Inn & Suites are modest but functional. There’s an outdoor pool surrounded by a tropical courtyard, giving a pleasant place to cool off after long days on rides. Other on-site conveniences include a fitness centre, laundry facilities and a 24-hour front desk, all of which are helpful for families staying several nights or moving between parks.

Travel-wise, the hotel offers a free shuttle to the local theme parks, which adds good value for UK holidaymakers who may not want to rely purely on taxis or a hire car. Also, self-parking is free, which is a plus if you do decide to drive — especially when compared to many more expensive on-site resorts.

In terms of guest feedback, reviews are reasonably positive. The hotel scores “very good” on many booking platforms, with particular praise for value, location, and cleanliness. That said, some guests point out that the hotel feels a little dated in places, and it lacks the more exciting theming or luxuries you’d find in a Disney or premium Orlando hotel. For British visitors who prioritise cost, convenience, and a simple base from which to launch adventurous park days, though, it delivers a dependable, practical experience.
