Room large and adequately furnished.

Maid service daily and very clean.

Security very poor. Hotel on 4 floors set in a "U" shape and only 1 security guard. During 2 week stay we encountered 3 rooms which had been burgled. Reception staff complacent when asked about security and became argumentative.

The laundry was out of order for 4 days and was still unavailable when we left.

The vending machines on 3 floors also not working as well as the cash machine and intermitently the phone card machine. When asked when they would be repaired reception staff said "soon".

The pool was of good size, however as it was located within the "U" shape only one area had all day sun.

The pool snack bar was open on 2 days in the fortnight and the gift shop was rarely open.

There was no entertainment whilst we were there.

Struggled into reception very tired on arrival to be completely ignored and then told can't check in until 4pm!! This was 3.05pm, after a long journey all you want is to flop on the beds and have a hot shower! Kids promptly changed into swimsuits in the toilets and said hello to the pool while I attended a mountain of luggage in the middle of reception looking extremely hacked off.

After this bad start, we eventually got a room on the 4th floor which was a non smoking, pet free room which was lovely and fresh with the window looking over the motorway to the right and I/Drive to the left but was not noisy at all. Room cleaned every day and sheets/towels changed regularly.

Kids enjoyed the pool but not as large as photos would suggest, also pool bar shut most times as was the gift shop.

Very small gym and games room. Keep away from desk opposite the reception desk as this is TIMESHARE!!

Laundry room was out of action for the first 5/6 days of the holiday which, excuse the pun, is out of order.

Having said all of that, the holiday was brill, did not have a car as transport to Universal/Seaworld provided and I/ride trolley service was good if somewhat busy. Wet n Wild right across road which was great. Loads of places around to eat out. Black Angus Steakhouse attached to hotel was good.

The hotel was very clean,but facilities such as the washing machines ,change machines and the internet were nearly always out of order.Stayed on the ground floor and it was very quiet,the reception staff were not over friendly which was very strange as everyone else we met were really helpful.In the front foyer be VERY careful if booking park tickets as I nearly got caught by time share reps.They call it vacation club but beware you don't get anything for nothing and he was offering free breakfasts,free transport etc etc. This hotel was very central for eating,sghopping etc right opposite wet and wild.Can't wait to go back in two years time.Ate quite often in the Angus steak bar which was attached to the hotel and offered 10% off your meals if you presented your room key,and the breakfast nest door at the Great Western was to die for 72 items for around $3.99 brilliant value.

On arrival I found the reception staff very abrupt to the point of being rude, when we were eventually allocated our room it was directly opposite the laundry room, that should not have posed any problems as according to the hotel rules the room closed at 10pm not true it was 4d ays later and after many complaints that we managed to move rooms.

I also thought that as the laundry room did not have a door this posed a Fire Hazard. The rooms were basic but there was a good standard of cleanliness.

The security in the hotel also left a lot to be desired. As a base the hotel was in a super location, and overall we had a superb holiday.

We stayed at Best Western Movieland for one week in april 2004. Our room was nice and basic, stanard best western room (double bed, sky tv, bathroom). It was a quite room considering it was facing a busy highway out the back window.

The hotel has pool which is nice to sit around when your on a day off from disney. Alos has a gym, but this is really just a running machine and exercise bike!

It is well located on international drive, straight across from wet and wild. We didnt have a car for our stay, used the trolley bus to go up and down ineternational drive. When we wanted to go to disney or universal used the hotel taxi service, which was pretty cheap!
