They just need to serve breakfast starting at 6 AM because you have baseball teams that come and stay there and for an 8 o’clock game. They are leaving by 6:30. That’s why you lost definitely a couple of teams looking there this year

Great location and Value close to the airport

Perfect location close to Sanford airport for our early morning flight. Getting into the hotel parking lot via GPS directions was tricky since the two hotels (Holiday Inn Express and Suites as well as Home2Suites) are tucked in behind McDonald’s and other retail locations. Bed was very comfortable and noise from the highway was minimal.

If booking through hotels.com be aware that they have breakfast for the weekend listed at 6:00. One of the reasons we chose this hotel as we needed to check out at 6:30. Breakfast on weekends doesn’t start until 7:00. Another expense we weren’t planning on.

Close to highway entrances, gas station, food and other amenities. I thought the property was quite clean and my room was very spacious. Loved the Dove bathroom products and the shower was easy to get in/out of (I am in a knee immobilizer due to an accident and it was nice to walk into the shower, rather than climbing into a shower as I am not able to bend my knee.
