The Best Orlando Hotel Offers This May: Top Picks by Area

May is one of the most underrated months to visit Orlando. Schools are still in session for a good chunk of the month, which means lighter crowds at the major theme parks, more manageable rates across the city, and a more relaxed atmosphere at the pools, restaurants, and attractions that make Central Florida worth the trip. By Memorial Day weekend, the energy picks up — and if you time your visit right, you get the best of both.

Whether you’re flying in through MCO, road-tripping down I-4, or making the annual pilgrimage to Walt Disney World, where you stay shapes the entire trip. Here’s a breakdown of the top Orlando hotel offers available right now, organized by area, so you can find the right fit for how you’re actually spending your time.

Lake Buena Vista Hotels

Lake Buena Vista sits right on the doorstep of Walt Disney World, making it one of the most convenient bases for families planning multiple park days. Two strong options here offer comfort, value, and that crucial proximity to the magic.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites South Lake Buena Vista is a reliable choice for families who want a familiar brand with solid amenities — free breakfast, a pool, and easy access to the Disney parks without the Disney price tag.

Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista brings the independent hotel experience that the Rosen brand does well — unpretentious, well-run, and genuinely good value for the location. Guests get shuttle access to the major theme parks and a relaxed atmosphere that works well after a long day on your feet.

Montreal Suites Orlando offers a suite-style stay in the Lake Buena Vista area — a strong option for families and groups who want more space and a home-away-from-home feel without straying far from the Disney corridor.

International Drive Hotels

International Drive is Orlando’s central spine — restaurants, entertainment, ICON Park, and easy access to both Universal and the Disney corridor. If you want to be in the middle of everything, I-Drive delivers.

Ramada Plaza Resort I-Drive offers a full-service experience with on-site dining, pools, and a location that puts guests within reach of virtually every major Orlando attraction.

Rosen Inn Closest to Universal does exactly what the name promises — it’s a smart, no-frills pick for Universal Orlando fans who want to maximize time at the parks without overpaying for a hotel room.

Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando places guests steps from the Pointe Orlando entertainment complex, with shopping, dining, and nightlife all within walking distance. A solid base for travelers who want more than just a room.

Rosen Inn International Drive is one of the best-value options on all of I-Drive. Consistently well-reviewed, competitively priced, and well-located for guests who want access to everything the corridor has to offer.

Holiday Inn & Suites Orlando I-Drive Theme Parks brings the IHG reliability to one of the best addresses in Orlando — ideal for families who want a recognizable brand with room configurations that actually work for groups.

Universal Area Hotels

Best Western Plus Universal Inn is the go-to pick for Universal Orlando visitors who want walking-distance convenience without the on-site resort pricing. Clean, well-run, and practically positioned for early park arrivals.

Orlando Airport Hotels

For travelers whose Orlando trip is shaped by a flight, a cruise out of Port Canaveral, or a convention at the Orange County Convention Center, the airport corridor hotels offer the kind of logistical ease that makes a real difference.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Orlando Airport runs a complimentary shuttle to MCO daily, includes free breakfast, and offers Fly and Park packages for travelers leaving a vehicle behind. Three miles from the airport and close enough to the parks to work as a full trip base.

Comfort Suites Orlando Airport delivers suite-style accommodations at a strong value — a smart pick for families or extended-stay travelers who need more space without a jump in price.

Wyndham Garden Orlando Airport brings a step-up experience to the airport corridor — more polish, more amenities, and a reliable brand for business travelers and leisure guests alike.

Kissimmee Area Hotels

Kissimmee is where Orlando’s theme park energy is most concentrated. Gatorland, Walt Disney World, US-192, and a stretch of restaurants, mini-golf, and local attractions that have defined Florida family vacations for generations.

Hampton Inn Kissimmee North is one of the most dependable options in the area — free hot breakfast, free parking, a pool, and a location within minutes of Gatorland and 16 miles of the major parks. Pet-friendly rooms available.

The Adventure Hotels By The Parks — formerly Comfort Inn Kissimmee — has been refreshed into a property that leans into the fun side of Orlando. A strong pick for families who want a hotel that matches the energy of a theme park vacation.

Bella Vida Vacation Homes rounds out the Kissimmee options with a different kind of stay entirely — private vacation home rentals that give families, large groups, and extended-stay travelers the space and flexibility a hotel room simply can’t match.

SeaWorld Area Hotels

The SeaWorld corridor puts guests close to one of Orlando’s most beloved attractions as well as the broader I-Drive entertainment district. It’s a smart base for travelers who want theme park access without being locked into the Disney or Universal end of the city.

Staybridge Suites Orlando at SeaWorld is an extended-stay property that works just as well for a long weekend as it does for a week-long trip. Suite-style rooms, a full kitchen in every unit, and a relaxed atmosphere make it a particularly good fit for families and groups looking to settle in rather than just pass through.

UCF Area Hotels

The UCF corridor on Orlando’s east side offers a quieter, more residential side of the city — convenient for visitors with business at the University of Central Florida, Medical City, or the Lake Nona area, and a practical alternative for travelers who want to avoid the congestion of the tourist corridor.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Orlando East-UCF Area delivers the dependable IHG experience on the east side of Orlando — free breakfast, comfortable rooms, and easy access to SR-408 for getting anywhere in the city without the I-Drive traffic.
