Mobile Hotel recommendation on international drive

Hi

I'm thinking in advance and looking for somewhere to stay for our 2021 trip. The plan is a couple of nights in a universal hotel for the express pass and we are finishing with a few nights at Clearwater Beach so need somewhere in between.

I've seen the homewood suites and convention centre on I drive. My children have coeliac disease so I need to stay somewhere where we can easily access gluten free food whether this be in the hotel, near to restaurants or close to a supermarket where we can get gluten free food. Does anyone have any experience of this hotel or recommend a different one that will meet our needs. I would like a suite style hotel where we have a separate area away from the bedroom and one that has a pool for us to cool off in when we have been to the parks. Thanks in advance

There is a Walgreens not far from the Homewood suites. It’s like a Boots but also has a mini supermarket within it. Plus lots of restaurants and subway and Dominos next door to Walgreens. It’s a 5 minute walk from your hotel.

We returned last week from Sonesta Suites. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, three TVs! Right opposite Icon Park/Orlando Eye. Plenty of great restaurants. No complaints at all. Would definitely return without hesitation. Highly recommend.

Have you considered a villa. Plenty of space and a private pool.

A villa would be good but we just don't fancy having to drive all the time. Both me and my husband drive a lot for work so we like to have a rest from it while we are away

Same company, but not entirely the same.

We have stayed at the Sonesta suites and the Embassy suites.Both are great hotels and the area has many restaurants so you don’t need a car.
