![]() On weekdays it goes from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. The Orlando Hilton Homewood Suites International Drive has a full hot breakfast every day. Orlando Hilton Homewood Suites Convention Center / International Drive breakfast Our suite also had a living room area with a sofa bed, an additional chair and a 3rd TV I know… I know… #largefamilyproblems :-). ![]() That worked fine, but Carolyn did mention that it was VERY time-consuming to try and cook lunch for our family 1 grilled cheese sandwich at a time. Like all Homewood Suites hotels, our room had a full kitchen (microwave, refrigerator / freezer and stove top, though no oven). It made reading and working on my laptop while in bed much more comfortable! One thing that I really appreciated about these bedrooms was that each bed had a padded headboard. While the other bedroom had 2 double beds. Hilton Homewood Suites Orlando International Drive roomĪs I mentioned earlier, we booked a standard room for 35,000 points per night (with the 5th night free), but with Diamond status, we were pre-upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite, which is a pre-requisite for our large family. With Hilton the 5th night is free, so we ended up paying 140,000 Hilton points for 5 nights, or 28,000 Hilton points per night. The points cost was a flat 35,000 Hilton points per night for every night that I checked, even when the prices went up to $400 / night. While many Hilton hotels seem to be doing variable pricing on award nights, this hotel did not seem to be doing that. On most dates that I checked, it ranged from $125 to $200 night. You can check prices for your dates here. The Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando International has prices that vary between dates. Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando International Drive / Convention Center cost ![]() The lobby is a decent size, with plenty of comfortable seating. International Drive is the “extra-touristy” part of Orlando (think Main Street Branson or Gatlinburg), so there were plenty of things to do and places to eat. The Hilton Homewood Suites Orlando International Drive / Convention Center is located at 8745 International Drive, about 25 minutes from the Orlando Airport (MCO), about 5 miles from Universal Studios and 10 minutes from Disney World. Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando International Drive hotel review – location There are actually 5 different Hilton Homewood Suites hotels in Orlando, but it was a busy time for hotels in Orlando as the ones that were closer to Universal Studios (specifically, this one) were sold out on our dates. ![]() We ended up at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando International Drive / Convention Center. While Universal Studios has on-site hotels, the perks for staying on-property are not NEARLY as powerful as they are for staying on-site at Disney. The Homewood Suites chain is one of our family’s favorites, since they have larger suites where our whole family can fit in one room, in addition to free breakfast and free dinner several days a week. We were planning on spending a few days of our trip at Universal Studios, so we knew that we wanted a hotel that was relatively close to the Universal Studios theme park (ideally with a park shuttle). On a recent trip to Orlando, we looked around at the various hotel options for a good place to stay for our family.
