Rank Hotel Best use Food access plan Skip if Score
1 Hyatt Regency Orlando Convention visitors, business travelers, and I-Drive groups who want a full-service hotel with nearby dining options. Use the hotel and nearby I-Drive restaurants for business meals, group dinners, and low-drive nights. For park days, compare the extra travel time before committing. Skip it if your trip is mostly Disney or Universal and you want the easiest possible park transportation. 86
