Hi all
Just booked 2 weeks in Hawthorne suites in september. Just wandered if anybodys stayed there and what you thought.
Got shuttles for disney parks however, not got transport for anywhere else. Not having a car does anybody know how i'll get to them?
Cheers
booked my hols to florida yesterday, but on reading reviews its a bit off the beaten track, wanted to be on international drive. hawthone suites is more towards seaworld. do you get a cooling off period after booking where you dont lose deposit if you cancell or change accomodation? any help with this appreciated
You'd need to check your booking terms and conditions.
We always used to stay at the Sheraton World, which is close to the Hawthorn Suites.
If you are in the Hawthorne Suites on Westwood Blvd then you are only a short walk from I Drive. Also it is fairly central for all the attractions.
I'm not sure why you would want to actually stay on I-Drive these days ?.... much of it (including some hotels) is pretty grotty.
If you decide you really do not like your hotel when you arrive (or before you get there), there are several Hawthorne Suite hotels in the central Orlando area; some nearer Disney and one nearer Universal (just do a google search).... ...perhaps you could transfer ?
You could always enquire direct with the hotel about a shuttle to Universal, since they have another hotel in their chain right close by it I'd be surprised if they didn't operate some kind of shuttle there.
You are in a good central location for most things. ...especially Sea World & Discovery Cove. If you get a chance , visit the Titanic Exhibition at the Mercado Shopping centre (useless for shopping though) it is brilliant.
Before my parents bought a house in the USA I stayed here many times, its going back 4 or 5 years, but once we stayed here we didnt go anywhere else in orlando.
cheers
cheers guys, put my mind at rest, can now look forward to my hols
PS I've looked up a number of hotel reviews, on different sites, ... and they all seem pretty good actually...I don't think you have much to worry about.
Did you book through a travel agent or online?
hi, i booked through a travel agent
I stayed at the sheraton world as well like bridd, and agree you will have a great stay there (at Hawthorne). This end of i/d is more nicer and less commercialised, sea world was one of my favourite parks, we went every night.
thanks everyone
It turns out that there are 2 Hawthorne suites...
Reading from reviews the one in canada avenue has good comments (centrally located clean rooms etc) whilst the one near sea world has negative reviews ( middle of nowhere!)
I have obviously been reading the wrong one as my main priority was to be centrally located.
Can someone shine a little light on this?
Has anyone stayed at the Hawthorne suites (westwood blvd?)
Thanks...

HERE, but they are both good.
I'm sure I've seen a topic on the Hawthorn Suites quite a while a go so if I find it I will merge this one with it as someone may be subscribed to the original topic. If that is the case they will get notification of a new post and may have additional information.
I have changed the title as they seem to be called Hawthorn rather than Hawthorne.

We only have a couple of reviews which are from 2006 I'm sure I've seen a topic on the Hawthorn Suites quite a while a go so if I find it I will merge this one with it as someone may be subscribed to the original topic.

Westwood blvd is the hawthorne suites and it is beautiful, not far from seaworld and a lot of my family stay there. They have some freebies also. When we go back there, we shall stay in the hawthorne suites. Everything is a short walk, nothing dramatic and its quiet, no cars pipping horns, and all the noise you associate with I/drive.
