Got some good advice on Facebook from someone who has stayed here ‘every year for 14 years’ (Graeme Spence). He strongly recommends building 5 and says that all rooms have been refurbished including the bathrooms. Also said that the only thing left is the bottom floor hallway and the lifts which are both scheduled for after Xmas when there’s no guests in this section.
What is building 5 please? We are looking into staying here and I was nervous about the price compared to others in the area with it being on the lower end. After reading the comments and watching this, I think we will give it a try! Thank you
Avanti is great, i've been there for a couple of times, always plenty of space around the swimming Pool and at the parking. When i visit avanti, i ask especially an upper level room in the tower. When it's getting dark outside the view over the international drive is amazing.
@@BaeFell hi there, yeah my opinion is the tower building on the right hand side of the building is the best you can get. Especially when you book a room with a Boulevard (Int.drive) view. Otherwise you have a view all over the highway haha. I don't know if you book on your own or by a travel agent. I ask my travel agent to arrange it but you can always contact Avanti by mail for your preferences. I wish you a pleasant stay. P.s. when you rent a car over there I can recommend Alamo. I choose for the gold edition so you can bring it back with a empty tank en standard 2 people who are allowed en insured to drive. I have very good experiences with this car rental company. If you want to know more. For example the best things you can do in the area or best foods & beverages, leave me a message.
Really enjoy your videos. We stay here each time we visit, the though not since 2015. We are booked to go back here in September 2022. Looking forward to the new pool complex. We always stay here as the location and price suits us. Always request the tower as the rooms are bigger there, at least the ones we have had. House keeping has always been an issue from when it was holiday inn, right through. But I always inform reception at check in that I won’t tolerate filth and can say that they have always gone the extra mile after that. Start as you mean to go on I say. It’s difficult to say at the start and your in a great mood for your holiday, but a quiet word by dad at the start works in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing that, great knowledge 👍😁 MYeah I agree, politely stating your reasonable expectations with staff can only serve to help. Nothing to lose.
@@TheFrugalBrit exactly. Thank you so much for your continued hard work. I’m subscribed now so won’t miss anything in the run up to our holiday. Have a great rest of the Easter break. Richard from Cambridgeshire UK 🇬🇧
You are awesome! We are planning a trip before a cruise and usually stay in the Daytona area, but are options to pre cruise in Orlando and I REALLY appreciated this!!!!!
Looks like a decent hotel in a good location,also sounds like pot luck with room allocation,I’m guessing if there’s any problems then they’ll either move you or fix the problem,I definitely wouldn’t stay anywhere with broken locks on the door.
Absolutely, if you don’t ask you don’t get! It’s a decent hotel, but if the prices were the same, I’d suggest people go with the sister hotel instead (Avanti International).
The Frugal Brit - Orlando hi I took pics asked the desk never anything done,inter joining door didn’t help with smell of weed one evening,bathroom awful excrement on door food stain on wall 3 occasions had to ask for towels,room dirty air con like a generator, shoulder the door to get in and close it,and homeless or down and out followed us up to our room demanding money,list goes on.this review could have been far worse,but thankyou for the vids do enjoy your work but this one was quite generous
Wesley Davies - thanks for the feedback. It was difficult trying to get the balance right with this one, at times I felt I was being too harsh and other times felt like I was being too kind. Appreciate your sharing your experience. Best stuff is always in the comments.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! Unfortunately it’s probably not gonna a while before I get round to that one as I’m prioritising the bigger resorts at the moment as there’s more data to use. You stayed there before or have you to booked a stay?
@@TheFrugalBrit I never stayed there before but booked a stay for December 2019 and would love a review like this so I would know what to really expect... Keep up the good work
The Frugal Brit - Orlando we stayed September and only because of the staff I haven’t done the trip advisor review with pictures I took of our room in block 2 disappointing week there sadly
@wesley Davies - Interesting stuff, seems my recommendation of building 2 isn’t valid. I read on Facebook someone recommending building 5 and that all rooms had definitely been renovated there. Thanks for your feedback! Appreciate you watching the videos and sharing your experiences.
Great review we are staying here 2020 and have booked with Ocean Florida so will see what we will get. I will request building 5 now. Any chance you could review Hard Rock Hotel at Universal? We have booked here for two nights too!
@mrbilbs1973 - Thank you for the feedback! Yes I was thinking of doing the hard rock as one of the next ones so this will probably tip it for me 👍 Will hopefully get it out before the end of the month.
This review makes the hotel look great, but my room was full of ROACHES. The room is covered in mold and the staff did absolutely nothing about it. So gross.

Do you know how to book specifically building 5?

Yeah I should have mentioned the view in the video now you mention it. Thanks for watching 👍😁
HI Jeff! Going to stay in Avanti next year. Any tips on what building/room is the best? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can you do a update video for 2023 ?
Unlikely I’m afraid 😢
We stayed in September,wasn’t what we expected room was poor,cleaning service dyer.
That seems to be quite common unfortunately. Shame as it does have some potential.
