The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Orlando East - UCF Area

Comfy Convenience Near UCF and Orlando's Music Scene

Modern and reliable, the Best Western Plus Orlando East - UCF Area offers a laid-back stay with thoughtful extras just under 2 miles from the University of Central Florida. Whether you're in town for a big show or a weekend getaway, this all-suites hotel is a solid pick with free Wi-Fi, in-room USB charging, and a refreshing outdoor pool.

Each suite includes a sofa bed, work area, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker—perfect for pre-show snacks or winding down. Some rooms even feature whirlpool bathtubs if you're looking to soak away the night.

With easy access to local venues and just a 21-minute drive from Orlando International Airport, this hotel is ready to be your concert-night home base.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just minutes from UCF’s concert and event spaces, this hotel is a favorite among fans wanting to stay close without being right in the middle of downtown hustle. It’s a quiet area, so you can actually rest after the encore. Flexible check-in from 3:00 PM and checkout at 11:00 AM gives you room to recover or hit the road casually. Plus, there’s a fitness center and pool if you need to unwind before the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends—spacious suites and sofa beds make it easy to share.
  • Solo travelers—safe, clean, and convenient with all the essentials.
  • Couples—cozy rooms with whirlpool tubs set the mood for a music-filled weekend.
  • Fans needing quiet—located away from downtown noise, great for post-show chill time.
  • Budget-conscious travelers—value-packed amenities without breaking the bank.

Food and Drink Options

The hotel includes a free breakfast—a huge plus after a late night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you're just a short drive or walk from several local eateries and fast food spots. Each room’s microwave and fridge make midnight snacks easy to manage. Although 24/7 room service isn’t offered, nearby delivery options cover those late cravings.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a quiet retreat, you’re only a few minutes from UCF-area bars and lounges where you can grab a drink before or after the show. If you’re looking for live music or a lively bar scene, downtown Orlando is just a short drive away.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent value. Reviewers frequently mention the comfy beds, reliable Wi-Fi, and the convenience of having a microwave and fridge in every suite. The easy parking and quiet atmosphere are consistently praised by concert-goers and business travelers alike.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that while it's not a luxury property, everything is functional and well-kept. The lack of an on-site restaurant or bar might be a downside for some, but the nearby food options help balance that out.

The Bottom Line

Best Western Plus Orlando East - UCF Area is a smart, no-fuss choice for concert-goers looking for comfort, convenience, and great value near the UCF area.
