Whereabouts in Florida?

Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm a dunce sometimes. Orlando.

I've never stayed in the Holiday Inn International but have other properties nearby. Its at the busier and more built up end of I Drive with restaurants a plenty, many within walking distance from the property. You won't go hungry on I Drive that is for sure.

As for room tips, try and avoid getting a room that looks out onto I4. You might get a decent view of fireworks in the distance but the constant hum of traffic might cause some issues (it does with many people, but not me).

As jwhiting has mentioned, the location is good and you are in easy reach of loads of restaurants and you are also close to Universal Studio's, Islands of Adventure & City walk which have to be worth a visit during your stay. Universal's City Walk is great to go out into at night with a variety of restaurants, bars, clubs, cinema & some shops. You are also close to Wet n wild and a the shopping outlets at the top of international drive.

There are a number of reviews on http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g34515-d218934-Reviews-Holiday_Inn_Orlando_International_Drive_Resort-Orlando_Florida.html which might help give you an idea of the hotel.

Thanks for the posts so far. Just to ask are there any bars/clubs near by where you can have a few drinks into the morning?

Regards

To be honest CJ I'm not a massive bar/club type person in the USA outside of Vegas, but you won't find a massive load of options on I Drive although there are a couple of English type pubs and of course your hotel bar, which may or may not be an option.

If you are up for a taxi (or if someone can be Des), I would head to Universal Citywalk for a night out. Lots of restaurants and bars, Hard Rock Live, plus shops and a cinema makes for a pretty decent night out. Alternatively, Downtown Disney should offer a similar experience but a lot has changed since I last went there for an evening, so maybe worth checking out online what is on offer?

Blue Martini over at Mall of Millenia is a nice place to go to.

we havent stayed at holiday inn but have stayed in the roadway next door for the past couple of years we were allocated a room on the I4 side of the hotel the first time we stayed there was a hum of traffic but we got used to it. Citywalk is a great place as you are not far and taxi's shouldnt cost a lot and usually this hotel will offer a free bus in the evenings to drop you off. Also try chilli's for a meal it is also bogof on drinks 24/7 a great atmosphere there not far from your hotel.

We stayed at HI on International Drive this past Christmas. It is a busy area. I was not bothered by the traffic and neither were any in our party (4 adults, 1 child)

The HI itself was fine. It is not the lap of luxury but we were happy with it. We were in the tower block, it wasn't pretty to look at, however, it had very large rooms. We had one with a king bed, sofa, desk, chair, microwave, fridge, big tv. We had plenty of room to spread out. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The room was cleaned every day to a good standard. The bathroom is small with odd lighting (flouresent?). But, I was not bothered. It was clean and a place I could put my head after a long day at the parks.

There are several places to eat very near the hotel (walking distance) and a few bars for drinks. It was also very easy to drive to all the parks from this location that also had a HUGE parking lot.

Over all we were pleased with the hotel and wouldn't be upset if we stayed there again.

If anyone has stayed here recently would you please add your review here http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/reviews/united-states/florida/orlando/international-palms-resort-and-conference-center/
