20 Tripadvisor Hotels in Orlando | With 9.0+ Guest Scores

1. Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando – Disney Springs Area

The Vibe

This 4-star property hits a Staff 9.6 and Location 9.6 — the highest combo in this entire list. Guests describe the included breakfast and evening dinner as “unreal value,” and the outdoor pool is a solid 9.4 for facilities. It’s not flashy; it’s just relentlessly consistent.

What You Actually Get
