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.

Never staying here again!

Liked: The staff
Disliked: Lack of cleanliness, Didn’t have lock on bathroom door, Tub was still a little dirty, sofa bed smelled amd had stains all over it due to being wet by someone constantly. The air and refrigerator didn’t work properly. Experience was bad so I’m glad I only had to stay one night! The only thing was good about this stay is that it’s 5mins away from UCF where I needed to drop my daughter off to school.

Awful

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Awful! The breakfast food was old. Rock hard bagels, dry hash browns and sausages that was very clearly reheated from early in the week. Mustard packets that were so old the mustard was brown. The lobby was dirty, clearly not vacuumed recently, trash on the floor and debris on counter tops. The room wasn't better hair all over the bathroom floor. Stained duvet covers and possible blood on the lamp shade
