Champions World Resort

It’s a good thing that when I stayed here I was at the Disney parks all day and a good portion of the evening. I only came here to sleep and I’m glad! My biggest disappointment was that I had a «free» hotel stay in Orlando with Casablanca Express and I actually paid to upgrade to a nicer property and was surprised when I ended up here. I would have hated to see what the original hotel was. I should have looked them up on Unilocal before I agreed to be upgraded.
This place is in close proximity to the Disney parks. They do have a restaurant on site that I did not eat at and they offer things to do. It has volleyball, soccer, basketball and multiple pools. I came in June and the weather was just miserable so I preferred to be in the air conditioned room or in the pool towards the end of the night.
The room was small and cramped with a small TV and uncomfortable beds. The room safe battery died with my valuables inside so a specialist had to come in a get my stuff out. The toilet was leaking from the base and some light bulbs were out. Overall, the place was not in a good state of repair. Two stars!

Yes, you get what you pay for… the staff was super friendly & helpful. No complaints at all. The breakfast was decent-​ish. The «breakfast included» is only for the fruit salad, cereal, pastries. You can upgrade to the full breakfast for $ 3/​person, which included the hot food. eggs, waffles etc. Kids eat free with each paying adult (yes, if its included with your rate, kids still eat full breakfast bar free)
When we 1^st arrived check in was smooth, keys worked, foumd our room. We left the kids & luggage in the car & went in to the room. Pulled back the sheets, blankets, pulled open the sofa bed, basically tore apart the room making sure there were no bedbugs, weird stains or dirty anything. After making a mess & finding nothing we brought everyone in. The sofa bed was kinda horrible. The girls said it had spikes. the support bars poked too hard because the mattress was worn. The king bed was hard, but being exhausted makes it not matter. Our TV was… like we were watching stolen cable. It was grainy & fuzzy. werent there for the tv & we werent going to sit around for maintenance. There was a GIANT active water leak in the ceiling by the bathroom. You could hear it dripping at night. By the 3^rd day, check out day, it was a good size. If it were at my house i’d be calling the insurance man for a claim. Theres some huge issue going on up there.
This is a family friendly hotel. So expect to hear running screaming kids. Its close to everything, so many places to chose from to eat. The parks were close also. The rooms do look better online. the actual room itself is in some need of maintenance & renovations. The tile in the room is the worst idea ever. Coming in from the pool with running kids is a recipe for disaster… even coming out of the shower & walking out in to the room is a chore.
It served its purpose. The covered pool saved the day when we got rained out at Magic Kingdom. The girls enjoyed the pool. The movie they play. wellllll, the pool was great.
No, we would not stay here again…

This hotel is the worst ever. We stayed here during the Memorial Day weekend and the pictures on the website are VERY misleading. The rooms are worse than a cheap motel with the blankets and sheets tied together at the corners because the staff is too lazy to ACTUALLY make a bed. The first room we were given had a broken AC and a bug the size of a cell phone in the bathroom. They don’t actually clean the room, they just make the beds. Don’t stay here!!!

Almost feel guilty writing a bad review because, well, you get what you pay for. We booked this through a Groupon for our 4-​day trip to Disney. The staff was nice. The exterior looks fancy. The lobby is really nice. The food in the lounge is great. Well, that’s where it ends. The rooms are below the standards of even a budget motel. Everything was stained. There were huge bugs in the bathroom. Dirt was all over the bed. The TV was the size of an iPod. The AC didn’t work. Just… gross. completely. Pay the extra money for a decent place. You will seriously regret staying here!

Booked this on priceline, resort computer put us on ⁴⁄₂₇ instead of ⁵⁄₂₇. So when we got there at 10pm did not have our reservation. So we had to call priceline ourselves and get it resolved. Thanks so much for having customer service Champion Resort. After 1 hour we finally got a room.
The minute we checked into the room we found left over hair on the bedsheets. By the length of it, some gal how must have slept in there last must have left it. Aren’t you suppose to change sheets after check out? Guess not.
Second night we came back to see no towels at all in our room and a bug on our ceiling. Fantastic, we had to play who can squash the bug at 9pm. Called front desk and they asked if we want to come to front desk and get it ourselves. We are staying on the outter most side of the premise. No thanks, I rather have housekeeping come. After much hesitation they did.
Third and last night. Guess what? No housekeeping at all! Room is exactly as we had left it. Bright side I guess no flying bug. Downside: well everything else.
If you book through 3^rd party be ready to see a 7/​night additional resort fee charged to your card. Expect to hear your neighbours, no housekeeping or little to none, and please make sure you bring pajamas to avoid being tangled in leftover hair from previous guests.

Got locked out of my room 3 times due to non functional keys. Me and my family were nearly stranded outside our room for about half hour each time. Our AC had issues and I complained about it for 3 days. I was assured about fixing it every time I called but no one actually fixed it. Completely dissatisfied.

I stayed here for 4 days this month (May) and I have zero complaints (save my room keys not working, apparently due to my magnetic front pocket wallet?). I usually stay in 4 star resorts but I’m between contracts right now and I need to be careful of the money I spend. That said, the room was good with very minor cosmetic issues. The microwave was very finicky but after several attempts, it finally started working and worked well from that point forward. Loved the different pools and hot tub but due to the very family oriented nature of the resort’s clientele, expect to have to work around teenagers and young adults who have no regard for the people around them (cursing, smoking, music, yelling). Staff was excellent and the entire facility was well maintained. Oh, my sink didn’t want to drain very well but that wasn’t a big issue at all. I’d stay again.

The manager that day was Sharon Livengood. She immediately apologized and told me to get my full refund to get a Travelocity rep to call and ask for her by name. I immediately did so. I wasted another hour and a half (when I should have been at disney) waitin for them to agree on a refund amount (no amount is worth what we went through. Now everyday we were consistently checking everything to figure out what was biting us so we were paranoid and not enjoying ourselves at all. I left that day with no other place to go but luckily found something that opened up in a hotel near by. We told them out last hotel was infested and we wanted to get out immediately.
We put everything in the bath tub in case we had anything in our bags and headed to Disney. While at Disney I started feeling pinching but my sister was like we’re gone maybe we’re paranoid. It was raining we had ponchos on and the hotel it got in the poncho the more the biting happened (not familiar with fleas as I keep my pet very clean) but I look down and there were tons of tiny white baby fleas (very hard to see) and 1 small bed bugs dead in the poncho I freaked out and immediately we left. In the car I noticed them in my bra and allllllll in my sneakers my feet were so bit up and itchy. I think I had a nervous break down and called the hospital. They said there was nothing they could do I had to get supplies and clean where we were and our bodies. These fleas were a nightmare and still are. The next day I took everything back to the laundry (spent tons of money and time at the laundry on my vacation and bought new clothes (we were paranoid to put even the rewashed clothes on) as well as new sneakers tooth brush hair brush towel. We were paranoid walking around the new hotel room with no clothes sitting on the bathroom floor not to be near bedding or carpet. They infested my hair (I have never been or felt so dirty we are very clean people.) I cried so hard i ruined her birthday and brought her there. I couldn’t wait for out flight on May 18^th. We kept everything cleaned and disinfected in huge zip lock bags. We threw anything away with indications of infestation… New Clothes earphones brand new sneakers our luggage and wet and got new stuff (again water money) I am now home saw my doctor (he as well as my neighbor who does pest control said this week as one of the worst cases they have seen) I’m on medication to clear the rashes and sooth the bites. I had to do a lice treatment to my hair for the flea infestation and combed a bunch of eggs out (prior to this I had no idea a human could get fleas and yes they are fleas not lice) PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO YOUR RESEARCH CH THE BED BUG REGISTRY AND TO STAY IN A NICER CLEANERS PLACE THAN THE «HOTEL» DUMP OF CHAMPIONS WORLD RESORT. It’s run down motel that’s dirty noisey with a little park and pools. There is nothing special about this place. We saw other people with bites. It’s sad bc they prob are assuming it was just mosquito bites.

This hotel was a nightmare come true. Stay away. Had to find another hotel at 1:30 AM because this place was filthy. Live bugs in the room. I would not recommend this to anyone! I was given a «solution» to move to another room… which was NEXT door to it. No thanks! Don’t let he 2.5 star rating fool you. This is a 1 star hotel at best.

I was visiting some friends in Orlando and needed a place on the cheap. I bought a groupon for here, ($ 70 a night i think) for two nights. I’ve stayed at some really bad hotels before, you can see my older 1 star reviews. This place isn’t that bad. The room was clean, no bad odors, I felt safe and my wife never complained. We even used the pool, and it was fine. It’s a short distance to the attractions too. Would i stay here again, if i found a coupon sure!

If you’re looking for a cheap place close to Disney for the weekend, this is the place for you. If you get easily grossed out and are expecting a 4 or 5 star resort, this is not the place for you.
I’ve stayed here 3 times now, and my first 2 experiences were a lot better than the last. The second time my boyfriend and I stayed at Champions we decided to do an extra day at Disney and booked an extra room. At check in they upgraded us to a king (we originally booked a double or a queen) for no extra charge, and both rooms we stayed in that weekend were great. Clean, comfy, no problems at all.
This last time we went back because we figured the place was cheap, clean, and close to Disney. When we were checking in around midnight there were 3 – 4 groups of people waiting in line. No one was at the front desk. A woman finally came out to attend to us, and asked someone else from the back to assist. A few moments later a woman comes into the lobby hysterical, carrying her daughter. She only spoke Portuguese, but basically she asked for a room with no carpets because her and her daughter have crazy allergies. and her room had a carpet. So she was freaking out. We should have left after that, bad sign. We go to our room and it smelled like a pool, because, it was right in front of the pool. The bed and some stains on it, and the toilet was clogged. We weren’t satisfied with the room and wanted to just leave. We called the front desk to ask for a refund, and they said they could do that for us. So we left.
So if you’re okay with your room possibly smelling and having stains on the blankets/​pillows/​sheets, then Champions is perfect for you. You get what you pay for.

You get what you pay for
We’re a family of 4 and stayed here because of the shuttles to Disney and because it was pet friendly. Really not worth it. The furniture was outdated and the beds were not comfortable. The bathroom was very small and the TV was small. The sink spouted water everywhere and the water overall was too hot.
The pool was decent and the staff was very friendly, however. The breakfast was good and the bar was nice as well (Michelle was an excellent bartender. Be sure to look for her.) The small store inside was convenient.
Overall, if you’re a family looking for a decent place to stay for an extended vacation, I would keep looking. But if you’re looking for something cheap and fast, this may be ok for you.

I booked a room with 2 beds and a pull out sofa on
. My only special request was that the room «was ready for a late check in of exhausted park goers». We arrived for check in about 1am. There was a line at the counter. Everyone ahead of me was complain about their reservations. I overheard the clerk mention that they were overbooked by 10 rooms.
My family finally got our room keys and the room was on the second floor, no elevator, no fun for exhausted park goers. We didn’t get the room we booked. We had to wait for them to send up a roll-​a-​way bed. The light outside the door was flickering like a horror movie. The room was hot. I left the door open to allow the room to cool while I was waiting for the bed. The bed arrived, delivered by security. I complained about the light. I complained to him about the flickering light and was dismissed with, «you’ll never notice it when you close the shades». I wish that that was the case.
The beds had worn out mattresses that had a giant rut. I was completely uncomfortable the entire night. Few things are worse than being exhausted and uncomfortable. We spent the next day recovering from the night of unrest we had.
Upon checkout I told them the issues I had. They offered a breakfast voucher for 2(out of our party of 4). I declined that offer. They would not provide me a checkout receipt. They charged my credit card $ 40 more then they quoted at
This place is a money grab with no concept of hospitality.

My boyfriend and I got a groupon for this hotel for our anniversary. We weren’t expecting too much since it was a groupon, but we were very happy. No, the rooms are not new, updated, or even very well-​maintained. They can definitely work on that, but the staff was friendly and the pool and hot tub were nice and clean. Our favorite part by far was the nature park on the property. There were two lakes with fountains and 3 beaches with fire pits, hammocks, and beach chairs. There were picnic tables and grilling areas, a gazebo, wooden bridges, a bunch of pretty waterfalls. So much lovely stuff to wander around for our romantic trip. We loved it and went to the parks 4 times in our two night stay. Definitely was well worth the groupon and we’re so glad we stayed two nights and really got to enjoy the nature park.

The first thing I noticed was that the hotel looks like a motel that it was added pool, restaurant, bar, business center and game room.
I’m staying at the room 215 on the 2^nd floor facing the parking in lot. It’s quite!
The room were not so clean. All the drawers seemed like never touched by the housekeeper, there was hair in almost all of the drawers and finger prints all over the furniture.
The shower curtain is moldy and really smelly, you can smell as soon as you enter the room. I will ask them to change it. Let’s see how it goes!
The breakfast is actually good, but if you get continental breakfast they tell you that you can’t have the Mickey Mouse’s waffles and the the hot stuff at the buffet, like scrambled eggs, sausage, porridge, oatmeal, etc. just the coffees, feral, juices, fruits and bread. You can pay $ 3,00 more if you want it all!
The thing is, breakfast time is really busy and they don’t check if you are eating just what you had in your package or not. They should change that and only sell one fee breakfast for everybody.
The pools are nice, there were kids playing there during the whole day and night. So if you get a room close to the pools, specially the indoor pool you will have to handle the noise.
The playground is ok. But it doesn’t seem to get enough attention from the maintenance. It needs sone paint and cleaning the floor.
The game room has just a few games and a bit expensive. Just not worthy, in my opinion!
The staff are we interact with were really nice specially the Brazilian receptionist.
The positive thing is the location which is close to everything.
I gave 2 stars because for me cleanliness is everything and I was a bit disgusted with our room. They don’t seem to have enough staff to keep everything clean all the time, which is what we expect. Iy seems that they really fast and overlook many things.

My boyfriend decided to choose this place to stay while we were in Orlando. I saw pictures before we left and I already said I don’t like it. I wanted a somewhat nice place staying in Orlando for my first time. The place looked better in pictures but still shitty in person. The outside of the building looked ghetto and old motel like… Was not excited at all. They also said we had a kitchen? Ya no! And they said we got upgraded to a ‘deluxe room.’ Does deluxe room mean right behind their large projector movie screen with loud music going on until 11−12am?! And screaming children? I would assume it would be nicer and quieter. Although the projector movie was cool but not cool enough to be playing all day blasting loud music. Wanna take a nap? Ya good luck with that.

I need to start my review by mentioning that I went to this resort two different times, and have very very different experiences each time.
I went last year on the halloween weekend with my girlfriend. They gave us a room on the ground floor, just in front of the parking lot, mostly in the middle of the lot. This was a very convenient location since it has almost direct access to the lobby/​restaurant/​etc. The room was big, and comfortable, and except for a few issues we had with the safe (which where promptly dealt with) we had no issues. Staff was very helpful and polite and the halloween decorations where very nice. WIFI was plentiful and worked really well. We booked with
which included breakfast, and the breakfast area was large and varied, very good. It was a 4 star review, maybe more.
So this year when I had to go back with my brother I naturally booked the resort again. I read the reviews at Unilocal and was a little worried, since I didn’t experience any of the issues they mentioned. This time around though, they didn’t want to honour my
breakfast promotion (after a bit of fight she caved, and told me she was sorry, which is a MAJOR plus in my book). The refrigerator in the room made a weird ticking sound, and I unplugged it almost on arrival and just plugged it back in during the day if I had to cool something for my return. Weirdly, the first night I really noticed the sound of the highway, since our room was very ver close to the highway in the same section as the first time. And WIFI almost didn’t got that far to our room.
All in all I had a great experience both times, not much to complaint about. I wish the staff where more consistent in their treatment, and trusted the customer first, but things got easily solved anyway, it didn’t take much time. Breakfast is very good (and if you want to make the most of your time in the parks, included breakfast is a must), and the second time around they added do-​it-​yourself waffles shaped like mickey mouse… that in itself deserves a third return.

Nothing fancy, but clean and convenient.
–The staff was nice
— Close to the parks
–Good location, Lots of restaurant options and publix near by.
Perfect for families spending the day out and about at the parks and just using the hotel to sleep.

Spent 3 nights here for Disney world. It’s abt 15mins from all the parks. The word resort is misleading. There were pools and hot tubs around the complex but we didn’t bother trying them. We felt we were at a motel. We couldn’t even open our curtains because if we did, everyone walking outside would see us. Seriously no privacy! The bathroom was tiny tiny tiny. When we showered, we had to remind ourselves that turning the water hot means cold and vice versa. It still worked out but hopefully they fix it soon. We did have a microwave and fridge, which was a plus. Complimentary breakfast is not free. We were place so far from the main lobby, our free wifi did not connect! We had to use our own data. :-(
We felt some of the guests were actually residents at the hotel since they were very comfortable walking out late. Ice machine was far from our room. Overall, we had more negative than positive experiences.

This review is based on the fact we were looking for a weekend away at a place that was economic.
I read the reviews on Unilocal and there were more good bad then good. I have traveled many places all over the world and stayed in hostels, motels, hotels, resorts from low to high end. So I feel I can be fair in the reviews I provide for Unilocal.
If your looking for a modern feel this place is not for you. This is a place for people and families who want to escape and have a decent clean place to stay. There are no frills at this place. But, there are pools and for people who love that will enjoy! The pool near the room we stayed at was spacious and clean.
We also checked out the game room. Nothing fancy but there were a few games for our son to try. We did not try the onsite restaurants so I can’t provide details. The few times we interacted with staff they were very nice and helpful.
The room itself was basic. But, we were there to relax, shower and sleep. Our soon is very picky and said he liked the room. It had title floors which was nice. There’s a small flat screen tv and it had many channels. We also have a small dog so it was nice to have her with us. I did check the sheets and drawers before we unpacked and did not see anything. Now, this is Florida. It’s rare not to see any bugs or insects no matter how clean things are. I saw 2 tiny ants the entire stay on the tile. Nothing that worried me at all!
We are going to stay here again. We did get this on a Groupon so the deal was great. This place is near many places to eat.
Hope this helps! Keep an open mind and you will be just fine here.
