What guests think

Across recent reviews of Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge, guests consistently praise the welcoming staff, the beautifully kept golf course and grounds, and the calm, quiet setting that feels like a relaxing retreat within Orlando.

Many note comfortable beds and quiet rooms, but decor and furnishings feel dated and in-room amenities are limited, often lacking fridges or coffee makers. Cleanliness is generally strong across the property, with immaculate grounds, though an occasional musty room or poorly kept unit is mentioned. Food and restaurants receive frequent praise, yet several reviews cite limited or changed menus and uneven bar or breakfast quality. Expect a classic lodge-style stay with older rooms and variable dining.

A very convenient location with easy parking. The property is nice and located in a quiet neighborhood. The rooms are in need of significant upgrades to include furniture and a remodeled shower. The room was clean but felt dark and musty. For a 4 star hotel, I would have expected a small mini-fridge and basic room amenities.

I had a short, but wonderful stay at Bay Hill. The staff was accommodating and friendly and eager to help. The room was very clean warm and cozy, which the feeling that permeates the entire resort -- Warm and cozy. There was no fridge or microwave in our room, but I honestly didn't miss it. There was delicious fresh hot coffee and tea in the morning served just outside our room and the restaurant was just downstairs if we got hungry. My wife absolutely loved the hotel, and even tho she is not a golfer, insists that we come back.

For the price I paid, I was expecting spectacular and got ho hum. Check jn was kind of “eh.” Dining room was completely booked so I had to sit at the bar. Bartenders were too busy serving the locals to give good service. Very limited menu. Expensive burger was overcooked (well well done instead of medium.). Had to ask for the dessert menu twice and never came back the ask if I wanted dessert. Room was larger than a standard hotel room by a little bit. Bed and linens were very comfortable. Room was quiet. Check out was quick.

Beautiful property, but ridiculously antiquated! I haven’t stayed in a hotel with fewer amenities since about 1975! Was Very disappointed in what we got for the exorbitant price we paid. No fridge/microwave/coffee pot in room. No glasses just plastic cups. A pretty green lawn doesn’t make up for everything else that was lacking. Also, to get to the accesible room you had to go up stairs and down stairs or go through the patio door. What is that about?

Amazing stay, everyone was welcoming and really treated you like as if you were Mr. Palmer himself. Genuinely look forward to coming back. Very disappointed in the golf situation. As we know, no one can control the weather, however when you can only complete 9 holes due to the forecaddied group ahead taking over 3 hours in the rain to complete their 9 holes, you’d expect at least a half round refund. Unfortunately for me, I just got an “Oh well” and that was it. Wouldn’t mind completing that 9 holes one day seeing I’ve paid for it!

They have done a disservice by completely changing the menu. Many things we loved like Arnie’s navy bean soup are no longer being served. The am coffee station has also been downgraded. None of the fancy carafes or rock sugar were there. On our checkout morning at 8:25 am despite the “ do not disturb “ sign on the door, housekeeping was banging on the door and woke us up. Considering that checkout time is 12 pm, it was a rude ending to an otherwise okay stay. I think the new management needs to reconsider what brings back clientele at a lodge like Bay Hill. Thanks.

Best place to stay in the Orlando area! Mr. Palmer's place is a living museum that showcases his persona and how great of a man he truly was. Everyone there takes great pride at doing their job and seem genuinely happy and blessed to be there. Golfing there is the Florida standard for me and getting to stay and play at Bay Hill is a privilege that I do not take for granted. Hat's off to everyone at Bay Hill for continuing to keep the legend alive.
