Good place for staying at & great location
"hotel's location and value for dollar"
Israel from Sabana Grande, PR US rated Howard Johnson Inn Tropical Palms Kissimmee 8 out of 10 on October 31, 2010
"THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THE SIGN TO SHOW WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED IS SMALL AND SET BACK A LITTLE TO FAR. I HAD TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER STORE SIGN TO LOCATE THE HOTEL. CONSTRUCTION WAS A PROBLEM, BUT THAT IS NOT THERE FAULT. I FEEL IF THE SIGN WAS BIGGER LIKE THERE OTHER HOTELS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER. ALSO, CONTENTIAL BREAKFAST COULD HAVE HAD A BIGGER SELECTION. BUT WAS OK"
Carla from Saddle Brook, NJ US rated Howard Johnson Inn Tropical Palms Kissimmee 10 out of 10 on May 19, 2005
"The room was very noisy, ie. the toilet always running, you could hear the people next door as plain as day, you could hear when the people next door were taking a shower. The room was very dirty and old, ie. rust stains on the walls, the wood around the door was chipped and wearing away, even the tiles in the shower FELL OFF while I was showering."
