Homewood Suites Flamingo Crossings
Homewood Suites Orlando at Flamingo Crossings
Its official name is Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando Flamingo Crossings but let’s agree to just call it “Homewood Suites at Flamingo Crossings.”
This hotel is a certified Walt Disney World Gateway Hotel, meaning it meets or exceeds Disney’s standards for 3rd party hotels. Homewood Suites is located just outside the western entrance to Walt Disney World at the brand-new Disney-created Flamingo Crossings. Here, you’ll find several value hotel chains by Marriott and Hilton, most offering family suite accommodations and standard hotel rooms.
Flamingo Crossings is also home to the Disney College Program housing complex for Disney World interns, so it’s not unusual to see kids walking around in their Disney costumes before or after their shifts.

How Homewood Suites compares to Disney World hotels
In terms of price, Homewood is comparable to the Walt Disney World Value Resorts such as Disney’s All-Stars Resort and Disney’s Pop Century Resort but when it comes to amenities, they are a closer match to Disney’s Villa Resorts.
This makes Homewood Suites quite a value because Disney’s 1 Bedroom Villas start at around $650 per night.
Disney’s hotels do not include a complimentary breakfast but they do have onsite dining. Homewood offers a free breakfast buffet but it does not have an onsite restaurant.
There are a number of restaurants within walking distance like 5 Guys Burgers, a barbecue restaurant, a Japanese BBQ restaurant, and 2 breweries. Homewood rooms also have kitchens.
You’ll find that transportation is more convenient at the Disney World hotels because they are closer to the parks and there are a number of complimentary transportation options at Disney such as buses, monorails, gondolas, and boats.
Disney hotels offer luggage assistance, Homewood has self-serve luggage. Both Disney and Homewood Suites offer luggage storage.
For example, if you plan to visit a park on your check out day, you can store your bags with the hotel.
