Do not stay at this hotel! We booked a non smoking room w/ a pool view, and after waiting in line for an hour and ten minutes just to check in, got a room that smelt like cigarettes and had a view of the restaurant/bar roof. When we told the front desk they told us that was a pool view... More

For all of you thinking that my header is over the top please read on. We booked this hotel as a cheap and cheerful package to have two weeks away in the sun. Thinking it would be at the standard of a British Travelodge. ie cheap but clean and reasonably maintained..........we did not stay in the room for 10 minutes,... More

I looked on line seeking a hotel with smoking rooms. This hotel stated that they had smoking rooms and they were aviliable. I bookedthe room and was very suprised when the hotel clerk informed me that they do not allow smoking in any of their rooms. We were commited for the weekend under false information. Call the hotel in advance... More

I will be echoing many other reviewer's comments with much of what I write, but I shall comment regardless as I am only back from staying at the Metropolitan Express this afternoon after staying for 10 nights. Granted, as many have stated, the hotel is fairly worn and in need of updating and a refurb, however, if you don't mind... More

We stayed here in March 2012, rooms are really nice, bathrooms are adequate, breakfast is continental, really handy for all amenities, being on International drive everywhere is easily accessable, staff are really friendly, free transportation to parks, handy for restaurants if wanting to eat out, but hotel has its own bar, there are free tea and coffee facilites in reception...

We got back yesterday and this hotel served us for what we wanted. We wanted somewhere central to International Drive to be able to access the theme parks each day, and shower/sleep at the hotel at night. This hotel has suffered harsh reviews and I think what you must understand is if you want 5* accommodation, you have to pay... More

We stayed here April 2012. Great hotel excellent location you can walk to universal studios/island of adventure,wet and wild across the road. The Hotel lays on transport to sea world and aquatica. Free wifi in lobby is a boost the only thing that lets this hotel/motel down is the breakfast area is a little overcrowded at times and the two... More

I have stayed for 13 days , friendly staff, great location. They charge $5 resort fee and $4 to $10 for every package they receive, free wifi only in the lobby but if you are willing to pay $8 per day you can use in the room, great value, I will definitily return.

We had what was overall a great holiday in and around Disney World but we had planned to stay for the full duration in Pop Century. 5 days in we realised the intensity of Disney was too much so looked for a cheap hotel on I-Drive for an escape. Metropolitan Express came up trumps on price and did a great... More
