Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Orange County
Travelers have several options for reaching Orlando, but the choice often depends on the balance between flight cost and ground transport convenience. Orlando International Airport (MCO), located within the city of Orlando, is the primary hub and the most convenient gateway for most visitors, offering the best variety of ground transport including the high-speed Brightline train and affordable public bus lines. Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) serves the neighboring city of Sanford and is frequently used by low-cost carriers; while often cheaper for flights, travelers should account for the significantly higher cost and time required for ground transport to downtown Orlando. Tampa International Airport (TPA) and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport (PIE) are both in the neighboring city of Tampa/St. Petersburg area and require long, multi-hour road transfers. Finally, Punta Gorda Airport (PGD), located in the distant city of Punta Gorda, is generally only practical for those finding exceptional airfare deals, as ground transportation from there to Orlando is the most expensive and time-consuming of all options. We recommend factoring in the total trip cost—flight plus shuttle or train—before booking a destination outside of Orlando city limits.

The location is very convenient for going to Universal Studios.
It's a pity that the room on the first floor has a strong musty smell. The air conditioner and refrigerator in the room are very loud.
The welcome drink ice lemonade is great.
There is a water dispenser in the gym for guests to add drinking water.
The breakfast dining environment is very clean and comfortable. The service staff will carefully observe the needs of the guests and provide help and tidy up the dining environment at any time.FromUS$76

Disney World Resort Orlando|20.76km from city center
The room was pretty good, and the bed was super comfortable. Breakfast was decent; it was quite busy, but they had the basic food items. There was a slightly wider variety than the previous Best Western, though still limited. The Mickey Mouse waffles were a fun touch.
The hotel's shuttle service to Universal and Disney was much more frequent than the last place. It seems there's a hotel in front and one behind, but they use large buses, so they don't detour much, and there are always plenty of seats. The only drawback was moving from the Fairfield Inn south of the Vineland Outlets to this one on the east side. Looking at the map, the distance seemed similar, and I thought it would also be a 10-minute walk, but it actually required crossing a highway with no pedestrian access, making it a 50+ minute walk. This meant I couldn't just pop out for shopping whenever I wanted and had to take a taxi, which added a bit of inconvenience. So, on the last half-day, I just stayed at the hotel, missing the chance to stroll to the outlets and snag some cheap Lululemon. Oh well, for the price of 600 RMB a night for a room with two beds and breakfast, what more can you ask for? Overall, it was still fantastic, and both the hotel staff and guests were very friendly.FromUS$82

Lake Bryan Orlando|23.54km from city center
My husband and I were attending a business meeting. We booked for one night only at $300 plus dollars and our room was on the sixth floor but facing the Lobby. We were not able to get any sleep because of the noise from the Bar which is located next to the check in. There was yelling and shouting well past 1:30 am. Not sure why they would put an open bar in the lobby. I would have asked to be moved but we were already in bed and didn't want to dress and pack up to move. Not sure that I would stay at this location again without asking where my room is located.FromUS$177

SeaWorld Area Orlando|14.82km from city center
The hotel is relatively new and having a 24-hour convenience store (open 14 hours, so not 24 hours, but convenient enough) is a plus. However, possibly due to recent renovations, there's a strong smell. The room itself is quite spacious, but the soundproofing isn't great. You can hear it when guests next door or upstairs use the restroom, so I recommend closing your bathroom door when sleeping. Breakfast was standard. Since I was here for a business trip, I didn't get to experience much else.FromUS$133

The front desk service attitude is very good, but there is a front desk clerk with braids who is very mean and rude. Please note that the hotel is very conveniently located. There are many delicious restaurants nearby. It is very close to Disney/Universal Studios/Sea World! Highly recommended! The room is very big!FromUS$83

This hotel is a great stay for families and couples. We booked two rooms, one with a mini lounge which we enjoyed as we gather there for NYE! The view is also good from our room which is 252 in bldg E, we can see the pool and the whole hotel. I recommend this hotel very much as it’s located in central Orlando, with nearby souvenir shops, shopping centres and food marts. There are a lot of nearby restaurants as well where you can buy food or for to gos. The complimentary breakfast that’s included with our booking is also nice. The kids love the food and their cool self waffle maker. Overall, it’s a 10/10 for its affordability, convenience and amenitiesFromUS$71

Hotel location is remote, driving is not convenient, close to JW Marriott. The room is OK, but it is still far from the luxury hotel. A white handsome guy at the front desk couldn't find a Ctrip order, and it took a long time to check in. At the checkout, an additional 39 yuan resort fee was charged.FromUS$459

Disney World Resort Orlando|25.35km from city center
The bed sheets in the room always have a stinky smell from not drying. There are no toiletries in the room, so remember to bring your own. There are no slippers. There is a capsule coffee machine and two bottles of mineral water. It would be better to book a high floor if possible. There are no restaurants or supermarkets within walking distance, so you need to take a taxi. There are two restaurants in the lobby, which are almost never open. There is one on the G floor, which has a good breakfast and is always open. There is also a coffee shop in the lobby. For reference only.FromUS$140
