"Great place to stay.Nice place on the lake.We had a very good time in this area."
Bernard from Haines City, FL US rated Howard Johnson Express Inn & Suites Lakefront Park Kissimmee 9 out of 10 on September 03, 2012
"The services were okay, but It could have been better if we had a refrigerator and microwave available in the room. The carpet had a bad smell it would be nice if the hotel service would take care these things for future customers."
Francis from Gretna, LA US rated Howard Johnson Express Inn & Suites Lakefront Park Kissimmee 6 out of 10 on August 11, 2005
"I've been staying at this hotel since it was "King's Hotel" back in 1987. I've always liked the location and the amenities, however, I note that the hotel is starting to show it's age. A little paint and new furniture would certainly make the hotel a much nicer hotel to stay. Staff answered my questions, but did not go out of their way to be helpful (a change from the past). However, the view at sunrise from the balcony of the rooms overlooking the lake can't be beat!"
Lawrence from Wyoming, MI US rated Howard Johnson Express Inn & Suites Lakefront Park Kissimmee 8 out of 10 on November 30, 2003
