Marriott’s TownPlace Suites: A Hotel and Resort in Orlando Review

We absolutely LOVE to stay on-site in the Disney World resorts (check out reasons TO stay on-site), but sometimes that just does not work out. Walt Express has found a great option that will NOT take away the magic! Also a BONUS to this resort is that it will accommodate up to 6 guests in each suite!

The Marriott brand is known for classic luxury, but with affordable pricing! This makes the Marriott TownPlace Suites a great option to staying off site on your next Disney World vacation. This Marriott hotel is near the western entrance to Disney World (about 10 minutes from all of the parks)! The Marriott TownPlace Suites is also a Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel.

This hotel/resort is located at Flamingo Crossings/Western Entrance, 13295 Flamingo Crossings Boulevard, Winter Garden, Florida 34787.

Room Accommodations

These suites will accommodate up to six people, making it a great value! Most rooms are set up with two queen beds and a sofa that will make out into a bed. King rooms are available, sleeping up to four.

Mobility accessible rooms are also available.

Bonus

One of the bonuses to this resort is that you can request a “DISNEY FIREWORKS VIEW” room! How awesome is that!?

Getting to the Parks

There are several options in getting to and from the Disney World parks. Simply choose the one that works best for you and your family and you are all set!

Driving

Driving worked as a great option for our family. We were about a 10 minute drive from all of the four Disney parks. Keep in mind, there are parking fees that you will need to factor in. But, if you are an annual pass holder, parking is free.

Scheduled Transportation

Marriott TownePlace Suites Orlando does provide scheduled transportation to and from the Disney transportation and ticket center, better known as TTC. The cost is $5 per person round trip. Check with the front desk for a list of the scheduled times during your stay.

Dining Options

Marriott’s TownePlace Suites has several dining options available on site!

Free Breakfast

Nothing gets you ready for a day in the parks like a great breakfast. It’s even better when it’s included in your accommodations. Keep in mind, this is not your regular “continental” breakfast. This is the whole works! Eggs, sausages or ham, cereal, waffles (and yes, they ARE Mickey shaped), bagels and more! Plus any topping imaginable. Just about anything you could want for breakfast is available. Most importantly, you will find an entire row of coffee AND all of the additions you can imagine.

Flamingo’s

Flamingo’s is a great little restaurant/bar that serves up some tasty treats. After a long day in the parks, a “grown up” treat may be in order. Just walk down to Flamingo’s and dine there or you can place your order and take it back to your room.

Do It Yourself:

One of the best options (think money saving) to staying at the Marriott TownPlace Suites is the ability to cook in your room! The suite comes complete with a refrigerator/freezer, stove top (no oven), and microwave. The best part? There IS a dishwasher! That is pure magic right there! Also available are all of the cooking utensils and meal preparations you would need. And yes, there is also a coffee pot!

Grocery Delivery

When it comes to grocery delivery, you have a couple of options.

• Instacart:  GROCERIES delivered: Instacart and Publix.
• Garden Grocer: Get Groceries Delivered To An Orlando Resort

Space/Storage

These suites will accommodate up to 6 people very nicely. There are two queen size beds plus a couch that will make out into another bed. You will find a large closet that connects to the bathroom with shelves for tons of storage space. The bathroom is nicely sized and has a door that will close for privacy.

Housekeeping

Yes, housekeeping still comes by once a day to clean your room while you are out and about. THIS is where the magic is! After a long day in the parks, you STILL get to come “home” to a clean room.

Laundry

You will find an on-site self service laundry facility on the main floor. We used this facility and found it to be very well kept and extremely clean. We always have to do laundry at least once during a trip, so I just bring my own detergent and dryer sheets. There were “vending machines” with detergent and dryer sheets available.

Fees

There are no added parking or resort fees for this resort.
