Holiday Inn Orlando Kidsuite Rooms

If you travel with children, you know how antsy they can get after just a few minutes cooped up in a confined space. How often have you found yourself unable to relax, as you and your spouse tried to settle down your kids, who wanted their own room and their own television?
These frustrating moments were part of the inspiration for KidSuites by Holiday Inn, also known as “unique rooms within a room.”Kidssuites provide your children their own space to play, while you unwind from your busy day visiting the attractions and shopping at the local stores. Kidsuites are designed with a play area and separate beds, which creates a special level of comfort and an exciting setting with a special theme. Kidsuite themes range from Noah’s Ark to jailhouses. Each kid gets their own bed in a kidsuite, and they won’t have to bug you for the remote control, because Kidsuites’ furnishings include own television, VCR, video game player, radio/cassette player, clock, fun phone and table and chairs.
Compared to pricey resorts on theme park property, Holiday Inn Kidsuites offer a much more affordable option for families traveling on a tight budget. Disney World Resort prices generally start around a $300 per night, but you can find much more affordable rates at Orlando Holiday Inns for less than $90 per night. and only minutes away from Disney World.
Kidsuites were recently upgraded to include a mini-kitchenette, a private playhouse, a bunk bed and a twin bed, complemented by the adult portion of the suite, which includes a queen size bed, a table, chairs and a 25-inch TV. By comparison, a resort suite of comparable size at a Disney World Resort may cost you more than $500 per night, so for the same amount you might pay for a night at Disney, you could buy a week at Holiday Inn in Kissimmee.
