Anyone ever stayed at the Wyndham Orlando Resort hotel??

If so, are there any hidden fees for the amenities???


Is there an on-board charge you have to give them when u check-in??





I am asking cuz there is an event going there this weekend..


And on CNN they talked about how big hotels and resorts charge hidden fees for amenities that you might not even use


Example.. fitness room... looking inside the minibar (but not drinking it), the pool, crazy stuff.. and im on a budget cuz I was in miami last weekend and just kind of want an idea as to how much I'm going to be spending.. and any other advice would be helpful thanks!!


I'm reading reviews now but I would like more info.Anyone ever stayed at the Wyndham Orlando Resort hotel??
I've stayed there a couple times over a year ago through Priceline. A lot of tourists like it because of the numerous pools to choose from. Frankly, it is an older hotel made up of clustered buildings (was a Marriott for years before changing to Wyndham). While rooms have modern furnishings and comfy beds, a musty, old smell seems to persist in the buildings. It has a good location on International Drive. All in all, you could do worse, but as far as accommodations, I would rate it a marginal 3 star. As far as additional charges that you heard on CNN, I have not experienced these at the Wyndham and would not expect to at any of the major upscale chain hotels. I do remember they tacked on a 8% Resort fee, but that's the norm in that area.Anyone ever stayed at the Wyndham Orlando Resort hotel??
I'm not sure whether you've checked out the reviews at IgoUgo.com yet, but there are three on the Wyndham Orlando Resort and -- luckily! -- they all appear quite favorable:

As for whether or not they charge hidden fees, I think you'd have to call the hotel and ask, or else be very clear when you're checking in about what you may or may not get charged for. You'll be asked to put down your credit card for incidentals, and so you want to know exactly WHAT incidentals you're being charged for. Some things to consider might be parking, Internet, food, laundry, and bottles of water in the room. Legally, however, these things should be very clearly marked -- and if you ask beforehand to double-check, you're covering your bases as much as you possibly can. Should you be charged for something that isn't marked -- and if you can prove you asked beforehand whether or not you'd be charged; perhaps you can even write down the name of the person you asked -- you should have a very good case for getting the hotel to take the charge off your bill.





Finally, I'd be very, very surprised to learn that you'd be charged for looking inside the minibar! Unless there's some sort of seal that would be broken, or code you'd have to key in beforehand, I highly doubt anyone would even KNOW you'd looked in the mini bar. The golden rule, of course, is don't take anything from there -- even if you don't eat it, it'll be counted as missing -- and you'll be fine. And if there is an extra charge for the fitness room, you wouldn't have to pay for it unless you actually used it -- and in that case, you'd obviously ask beforehand so that you'd know.





Hope this helps a little. Have a fantastic stay!
