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

You'd need to check your booking terms and conditions.

IMHO you have picked a great area to stay in. The south end of I Drive, near to Sea World, is much nicer than the north end of I Drive. There are a few shops and restaurants nearby and you are only a short drive or bus journey from the noisy, tacky bit if you want to go there. Also you can walk to Sea World if you want.
We always used to stay at the Sheraton World, which is close to the Hawthorn Suites.

Don't panic !
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 ?

If you want to go to Universal & IOA take a short walk to IDrive and hop on the green trolley bus to take you up the Idrive ...its really cheap.
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.

Very good location and the staff were excellent, have a great time.

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.

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.

Enjoy xx

Florida... cheapest months/holiday advice

Im a little gutted at this moment to be honest...
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...

Re: Florida... cheapest months/holiday advice

We only have a couple of reviews which are from 2006 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.

Re: Hawthorne suites westwood boulevard (sea world)

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.
