EDIT: 4/24/15: I received a phone call stating they had fixed the step issue by the market for people in wheelchairs. That is impressive and thank you.

We just stayed there this past weekend 4/17-4/22. My first stay there.
I liked the room, 2 bedroom suite; #28-206.

-Beds were great
-kitchen was packed with everything you need (sans food of course)
-AC/Heat unit is quiet! (huge bonus)
-Loved the on-site market (tho it isn't where the sign for it is, you have to go around the building to the right. Care to add that info somewhere?)
-on-site restaurant is good, tho pricey but thats always the case, there are TONS of places to eat and go right on international drive. Just take a right and 2.5 miles later boom lots of choices.
-staff is very nice

now there were a few things I didn't like as much:
The room door has a gap about an inch+ to the floor. Allowing anything to waltz on into the room.

The carpet was not thoroughly vacuumed, there were remnants of a previous guest's granola bars (I'm guessing) left behind.

TV: there is a listing on a card of available channels, which would have been helpful but for the fact it didn't have anything to do with what was actually available.

helicopter tours are close by, so you have a lovely sense of airport ambiance now and again.

market area: I'm disabled and need to be pushed in a wheelchair, when you leave the market and go right, there is a ramp to go into the parking lot. Problem is there is a step that is POORLY market just before the ramp, I nearly went face first onto the sidewalk. This should be marked much better that a thin metal strip that is nearly invisible in the right lighting. I just noticed it in the knick of time.

We're going back to Orlando in August (oldest moved there in January so we need a good place to frequent) I'm leaning on going back because 1 visit really isn't enough to judge completely on. We'll see though.

I hope this helps someone.
