Main Gate Kissimmee Hotel

We stayed at this motel not expecting much other than a clean place to lay our heads for a couple nights in between long days at Disney parks. The place was old and dingy, smelled musty. On our second night, a cockroach crawled across one of the beds. We smashed it and took it up to the front desk (along with a 2nd one we found on the wall) and asked the staff what they were going to do. The front desk clerk blew us off, saying that it rained, so that's normal for them to come inside. He actually said, "You probably have roaches in your home too." He offered to come in and spray the room (at 11pm at night, when we were about to go to bed) or we could move all of our things all the way across the motel to another room. We said we would just check out and go home early and they refused to refund our money.

Roaches were on the walls. They charged me a "hotel fee" for housekeeping, yet no one Ever ame to the room to bring a extra towel or empty a trash can. There is No password 4 the free WiFi,that doesn't exist. They guy at the desk doesn't like to b disturbed with any issues or check ins after 7pm. The room smelled like musk and the neighborhood homeless, has free access to the pool! They wouldn't refuse d my money so that I could relocate. Woke up with black bites on my leg. BEWARE!!!

I usually stay here everytime I'm in the area. The staff super nice and respectful. When my friends needed something they just ask and the staff will help. However the beds needed a little bit of cleaning and the bathroom as well, but other than those things it was a nice stay.

I have stayed here many many times but it has been about 3 years since my last visit and I used to be an advocate and used to recommend this motel. I will no longer stay here or suggest that you do. It has always been an inexpensive motel. No frills, nothing fancy, simple. I would stay here because of it being close to the parks and it being a decent place, decent pool. Not anymore. They used to take more pride in the motel and maintain it. It is is dire need of a paint job, updating and a MAJOR cleaning. The property is getting more and more run down. For some reason some people think its appropriate to leave their doors open, stand out side in their underwear, play loud music outside their rooms. I don't get it. Everyday I was there, there was usually laundry or full bags of trash left out outside some of the rooms, for extended periods of time. There weren't any nights that there was not a loud verbal domestic argument or screaming outside or in a nearby room loud enough to hear from the next building over. I don't expect 5 star experience from this motel and never did, not even 3 star. I have to say these days if they achieve a 1 or 2 star I would be shocked. Stay somewhere else, enjoy you vacation or time in Orlando/Kissimmee. This is not a nice clean family motel anymore.

Stopped coming here before when it was motel 6 because it was just bad all the way around so years later under the choice hotels umbrella i figured it had to be better so we gave it a try. WOW WAS I WRONG ! It got worse somehow, its the cheapest for a reason. The hotel and rooms look like they were furnished with goodwill furniture, and the people that stay there match the hotel to say the least. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS I PROMISE YOULL HATE IT.

Rundown and dirty, the room was full or roaches and they were everywhere. Had a 2 night stay and after 1 night I had was not going to stay another night, I complained and got a refund. Staff was friendly but keep up with maintenance, that is just nasty and disgusting.
