WoodSpring Suites Sanford North I-4 Orlando Area

Spent 10 days at WoodSpring in Sanford Fl, for Daytona International Speedway SpeedWeek. Was a great experience, with the staff always welcoming and supportive to the needs of the customer. Reasonable price and basically right between Orlando and Daytona International. Although they did not serve breakfast, they listed this issue beforehand. There are many restaurants within a short distance (we basically ate every morning at IHOP 1/4 mile away). For resting your head; a really great place to stay. The only issue is the smell of pot smoke during the day and evening. The hotel tried to make the smell go away and was great clean smell in morning just to many smokers since the legality has come to play. Much like tobacco smoke in the past. Just not my thing but maybe worth considering.

The A/C didn’t seem to be working in the hallways or lobby. The first room I was assigned was not clean and the beds weren’t made. In the second room, it was very hot when we walked in because the A/C hadn’t been turned on. The TV remote also didn’t work, so we weren’t able to watch TV. The hotel had a strong smell of Pine-Sol mixed with marijuana. Overall, it was disappointing, especially since I’ve stayed at WoodSpring Suites before and had a better experience at other locations.

Booked this room as a quick stay to break up a long drive. So just looking for a clean room that was comfortable to sleep in. We checked in late, the room did not have pillows and the floors were so dirty that our socks were black after walking around in the room. The bathroom had hair left in the tub, the tub was missing the grab bar and the shower head was corroded to the point I opted not to shower. The staff was nice and helpful with providing pillows when I went downstairs to request them. It’s a bar minimum type of set up which I kinda expected but not to the bare minimum that it was. The beds did not have blankets, just the sheet which was supper thin- but at least I knew they were washed. Conveniently located off the interstate and there is an Outback across the street and a Cracker Barrel just down the block and a Starbucks on the way back out to the interstate as well as a gas station- so 5 stars on convenience.

Exterior looked okay. Interior was out of date. Hallways dirty. Rooms extremely spartan and smelled funky. Should have understood this place was sketchy when a $100 security deposit was required. And had to badge in to get into room hallway. Lots of pot smoking in parking lot. Don’t take your loss here

Check in process was good and having laundry on site was nice. The bedding was clean however the floors were dirty, very sticky and the people above us were up ALL NIGHT! Midnight, 1,2,3am sounding like they were moving furniture around the entire night. Non stop. Tried to call the front desk from the in-room phone and it didn’t work. We figured the people had to be on drugs, seriously to moving absolutely non stop. It was so crazy. We literally got maybe a total of an hour of broken sleep. It was awful. We will Probably never stay in an extended stay again.

Can't beat the price! Clean and nice staff. Perfect for a one night stay close to the Central Zoo and lots of dining options close by.
