If one thing is for certain, it is that the Orlando area has no shortage of places to stay. With over 450 hotels and 121,000 plus hotel rooms, visitors can have their pick of large resorts with elaborate pools or smaller low-key hotels. Although staying at a resort on Disney or Universal Studios properties has its advantages, you will find many other resorts with gorgeous pools, expansive rooms and suites, and onsite restaurants.
