My wife and I stayed at Sonesta ES Suites Orlando from November 12–15, 2025, and for this being our first experience with the brand, we were genuinely impressed. We booked the stay for under $300 total, which is almost unheard of for a multi-day stay in the Orlando/Disney area — especially one that welcomes two large dogs without hassle or outrageous pet fees. That alone already set a positive tone.
We chose the two-bedroom suite, and the amount of space we got for the price honestly surprised us. The master bedroom had a comfortable queen bed, while the second bedroom offered two full-size beds — perfect for families, groups, or guests who just want extra room to spread out. Both bedrooms felt like private mini-suites of their own, each equipped with their own bathrooms, TVs, dressers, closets, and enough space to unpack and move around without feeling cramped. Having the convenience of two full bathrooms made the stay feel much more relaxed and efficient.
The common area was another standout. Instead of the typical tiny kitchenette you find in most budget-friendly hotels, this suite had a full-size kitchen with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, and plenty of counter space. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, and even small touches like seasonings, dish soap, and utensils — something you don’t usually get without paying resort prices. For anyone traveling with family or pets, or just wanting to avoid eating out every meal, the setup is incredibly convenient.
While the value was excellent, we did have one minor complaint: the bed was a little uncomfortable for both of us, and it did keep us up during the nights. The mattress felt worn, but honestly, considering the total price and everything else included, it wasn’t enough to ruin the stay or change our positive impression.
The location is one of the property’s biggest perks. The hotel sits just outside Disney’s Epcot and is minutes away from the other Disney parks. Gas stations, restaurants, shopping areas, and coffee spots are all within walking distance, which made it easy to grab anything we needed without having to drive. The hotel also has an on-site Starbucks in the main building, which was a convenient touch in the morning.
During our visit, the pool area was undergoing renovations, but the jacuzzi was still available. Once the pool remodel is complete, this is going to be an even better spot for families or anyone wanting downtime outside the parks.
The only thing missing was complimentary breakfast, which many hotels in this price range include. But honestly, with the full kitchen available, the nearby restaurants, and the Starbucks on-site, this felt like a small trade-off rather than a deal-breaker.
Overall, Sonesta ES Suites Orlando is a true hidden gem if you’re planning a budget-friendly stay near the parks but still want comfort, space, and amenities. It’s pet-friendly, spacious, perfectly located, and far more affordable than similar suite-style accommodations in the area. My wife and I would absolutely stay here again, and we’d recommend it to anyone wanting solid value without sacrificing convenience.

Sonesta Suites lake Buenavista ideally located for all parks and local facilities. We caught Ubers to parks everyday as this was so much easier and hassle free. The Suites were undergoing refurbishment at the time of our stay but this did not interfere with our holiday. Our room /suite was very clean and had all the facilities we needed. The staff who we saw during our stay were courteous and friendly. We would highly recommend the Sonesta ES suites and would certainly entertain revisiting in the future

The rooms are nice and clean. It was pretty spacious with a nice kitchen. There wasn't too much staff around but from the one I met so far they were cool. The area looks odd
Kinda old but not run down. It's located right off a busy road with lots of cars driving by. The good thing though is that everything you might need to located nearby. Restaurants, groceries and gas stations, etc.. Not a bad place but not an amazing place either. For the price i paid i think its perfect.

Myself husband and daughter stayed here for two weeks a week ago. Cannot fault anything from cleanliness, beds and pillows so comfortable my husband wanted to take them home with him. Towels changed regular, bins emptied regular . Facilities from kitchen equipment excellent. Thank you again for a wonderful holiday

Convenient hotel for Disney parks, with rooms that are basically small apartments – very spacious and with really comfortable beds. Unfortunately, ours had a strong damp, musty smell and only one window that could be opened. On the positive side, there’s a nice pool and a relaxing BBQ area. Breakfast was probably the weakest part – much better to have it outside at a local spot. After the first morning, that’s what we did. Overall, an average stay.
