the hotel is the Orlando Hilton- it is right behind the Orange County Convention Center...off Internaltional Drive right in between Sea world and Universal Studios.
I stay there when I visit my mom. the property is incredibly fun. They have a water slide- three pools including a " quiet" one. a built in lazy river- where you can float around a winding waterway on rafts.. miniature golf, volleyball- lots of stuff too keep overgrown stoners like me amused....
and as nice as the rooms and property is- and despite the location right off international drive and the close proximity to Sea world and Universal Studios ( not to mention Windermere and my mom)
When we saw the pics, and understood it was a Hilton Convention Center- we were expecting to take the usual resort hit in the mouth as far as pricing...
BUT
it cost only 109 dollars a night to stay there...
that was a pleasant surprise. If there were a beach attached this place- they would ask 5 times as much. I have paid much more for places half as nice ( The Florida Keys- Fort Lauderdale Beach, Marco Island) but there is plenty of water here- trust me.
Anyone traveling to the Orlando area- I highly recommend it. They dont have balconies available- so you have to smoke in the bathroom- but other than that- no bitches here...
Great photos! Welcome back. I have stayed at that hotel. Was at a convention there several years ago. Great hotel.
I am a day late, dollar short and reading Restless Souls. I found the beginning of the book to be intriguing but am faltering in the middle to stay focused. Also have Leno's first wife's book on deck after this one.
Hey This just came across my Yahoo alerts - is this new????
A vinyl album with a "raw country" sound and spoken-word poetry has been flying off the shelves at a Hollywood, Calif., boutique, never mind that the artist is convicted mass murderer Charles Manson.
Manuel Vasquez, 26, co-owner of the Beauty Is Pain boutique, told ABCNews.com he has so far sold a "couple hundred" copies of the vinyl recording, which retails for $18 and includes never-before-heard tracks of Manson playing guitar. Some of the material, which Vasquez said he obtained from an "old friend" of the convict, dates back to the 1980s.
"It's him singing and playing guitar and also reciting some poetry and spoken word type stuff," Vasquez said. "[He] sounds like an old blues man or a raw country singer."
A few months ago, Vasquez became pen pals with the 77-year-old Manson, who is incarcerated at Cochran State Prison in California.
He sent Manson, whose songs have been included on albums by the Beach Boys, Guns 'N Roses and Marilyn Manson, a mini-copy of the album cover.
"He told me he thought it was well put together. Those were his exact words," Vasquez said.
Manson will not receive any profits or royalties from the sale of the album.
Vasquez, who was not alive when the "Manson family" terrorized Southern California in the late 1960s with its "Helter Skelter" killing spree, said he wanted to produce the album because he believes Manson's Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial was violated.
"I wouldn't say [he's] innocent, but he was denied his constitutional rights in court," Vasquez said. "I wanted to raise awareness of that."
I just heard about the Charles Manson album "Beauty is Pain" myself on Yahoo. Apparently, it is selling very well, one website says there may be a "second pressing" of the album. I just looked, no YouTube vids or torrents of it yet.

Thank Lynn!! :)
Jeez...
At $100 a night, it's a steal.
You could do a 3-night "long weekend" for a little over 300 bucks.
The place looks gorgeous.
For all the amenities... how can you beat it?
Thanks for the tip Saint!
