Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista - Check-in

When I arrived, the agent at reception kindly explained everything I needed to know about the hotel.

I didn’t really get an upgrade, but my room was on the upper floors.

Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista - Rooms

The room was typical, with a king-size bed, corner armchair, work desk, desk with drawer and flat-screen TV.

At the entrance was a wardrobe and a buffet-style cabinet with coffee pot and ice bucket. There was also a mini-refrigerator.

Delta Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista-05

The bathroom was small, with shower, vanity with sink and toilet.

The view from the room overlooked the hotel’s large swimming pool. The aquatic mural made you forget the boulevard and the adjacent commercial building.

Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista - Restaurants

D-Flats is a bar-restaurant open from 4pm to 11pm. Its menu is basic, but can be satisfying for someone who doesn’t want to break the bank.

Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista - Other services

Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista - Swimming pool

In the beautifully landscaped courtyard, the pool is large, with a few tents for protection from the sun. A small spa is also available.

Everything is open between 7am and 10pm.

Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista - Lounge

Elite Platinum, Titanium and Ambassador members have access to a lounge at Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista. It is located on the 2nd floor and is open 24 hours a day.

In fact, this lounge is unlike any other at MarriottBonvoy. It’s more like a Delta Elite Pantry.

Delta Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista-11

There’s no place to sit and the space is pretty basic with quick snacks, some fruit, instant oatmeal packets, packaged pastries, toaster bagels, yogurt, drinks (water, milk, soft drinks), ice cream cups andpopsicles.

The member can therefore take what he wants and eat it outside or in his room.

While this “lounge” is a good convenience store, the execution would be much better if that pantry were stocked more regularly and the coffee maker wasn’t broken.

Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista - Gym

The fitness room is small, with a mirror in the back to make the room seem larger.

She has a few machines and weights.

Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista - My overall impression

Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista is a decent and affordable accommodation, very close to Disney Springs and with quick access to the Disney parks.

It does offer some good options, but they are limited (such as the minimal shuttle offer) or for the “lounge/dining area” (which is often bare). So don’t expect too much.
