Best Western Movieland Review
By Webmaster Barry

I stayed at the Best Western Movieland on 11/9/02. The hotel is located on International Drive. It’s right across from Wet N Wild. It’s less than a block from Universal Blvd. and about a mile from Universal.

The hotel is a no frills place. There is no onsite restaurant, gift shop, or food store. In keeping with its Movieland name, the hallways have many movie posters hanging on its walls.

My room was on the second floor near the elevators. The window gave a view of the parking lot. The room was very clean and quite roomy. A family of four could stay in the room quite comfortably. However, watch out for the morning rush as the rooms have only one sink! Take a number if you want to wash your face in the morning.

If you need to eat, the Black Angus Steakhouse is next door. Hotel guests receive a 10% off coupon. The Steakhouse serves breakfast and meals were around $4. The hotel is also across the street from the all-you-can eat buffet at Sizzler’s and a mini-golf place called Congo River Golf. You can also walk to the many other restaurants and stores on International Drive. If you can’t find a place to eat or shop on International Drive, then you are looking too hard! It is said that you can’t throw a rock down I-Drive and not hit a restaurant or gift shop. Take the I-Ride Trolley if you want to visit someplace on the other end of I-Drive.

The only complaint that I have about the hotel is some of the signage. Some of the signage on the first floor directs you to the lobby, but the arrows point you to the pool or the parking lot! I became lost a few times while searching for the lobby.

Otherwise, the hotel is a very good bargain. If you can live without room service or an onsite restaurant and gift shop, stay a night or two at the Best Western Movieland.
