Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sanford- Lake Mary by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Stylish waterside retreat - springs nearby - pool and gym access - large groups

10/10 Excellent

"The house was great for our extended family stay. The neighborhood is great and quiet. We were there over Halloween and there was just the right amount of activity for the evening."

The Westin Lake Mary, Orlando North

8/10 Good

"The elevator has dirt from the first day we checked in and the same dirt were still there after our fourth day when we checked out. Lack of room cleaning crew on fifth floor as we left at 10:30 and came back at 4:30 our room was just being cleaned. We are not messy people but needed the bathroom to get ready for dinner so we have to cut short the cleaning crew process."

Hampton Inn & Suites Lake Mary At Colonial Townpark

10/10 Excellent

"The location is in a safe, well lit area, walking distance (less than one block) from lovely shopping with Publix, restaurants and movie theater. Close to I-4, as well as corporate business area. Easy drive to attractions and beaches. Breakfast buffet quite good, variety of offerings. Room clean, well stocked and comfortable. What makes this property stand out above others in the Lake Mary / Heathrow area is the staff. From the front desk to the maintenance guy and the housekeeping crew everyone genuinely wants to help. I only caught a few names but the big guy manager (Ernie?), front desk staff Janya, Michelle, and several others were professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in solving my problem even though they could have said “not my job”. Housekeeping did a great job and even checked back to ask if everything was satisfactory. 10 stars for the excellent staff! I come to Heathrow often for business and 100% will stay here again!"

"Great little place in the marina! Very modern and clean. All the comforts of home. Bed was so comfy!! Saw lots of turtles! Yes, they beg! Place was perfect for the two of us! I’m giving a shout out to Connie and the folks at Connie’s deli! Great food at an incredible price! We also went to the zoo. Only about 5 minutes away. A fireman’s rescue boat was beside us and they went out for some rescue practice one morning."
