Say goodbye to the Metropolitan Resort on International Drive in Orlando. This fall, it can be the world's largest Econo Lodge which includes a "whopping" 297 rooms.
A part of us chuckles of the fact that world's largest Econo Resort will humbly boast according to 300 rooms, but we suppose it's just a nice step for the typically small motel chain exactly where novelty goes. Perhaps more important than the size of the property is the other perks that are never normally seen at Econo Lodges including an on-site delicatessen and free in-room Wi-Fi, java makers, refrigerators, and ironing message boards. It will also contain a partnership with the adjacent YMCA Aquatic Center, allowing guests free entry to its three indoor private pools, fitness center, and interior racquetball courts.
Err... this sort of helps make us wonder. Is this a litigation run for Econo Lodge in the case of developing more full-service residences? That's total speculation with our part, but we feel it's worth a mention. Econo Lodges generally are a stash-your-stuff-and-go sort of site, however it seems this location is working hard to get guests to hold around the property. We'll be interested to find if other new Econo Lodges begin to include most same perks. In any case, we hope it fairs more advanced than the other International Push Econo Lodge location downtown that flunked its test on CBS' Undercover Employers.
The work will initiate in June and the different renovations are scheduled to be completed by October. The house or property will remain open through the entire process, so be sure to allow a call meanwhile to see what's taking before booking.
There is no word yet on what's going become of the fees. Right now, a room for the Met will run anyone about $70. We additionally hope the funky bathroom towel art stays.
