Rooms & Suites: What Do You Get?

SpringHill Suites is designed around studio-style accommodations with separate areas for sleeping, sitting and working. This is useful for families, business travelers and guests staying for more than one night.

For couples and business visitors

King Suite

Look for a king-bed configuration with a separate sitting area and workspace.

  • Useful for one or two adults.
  • Space for laptop work and relaxation.
  • Convenient for short conferences.
  • Check the sofa-bed arrangement before booking an additional guest.
For families and shared stays

Two-Double-Bed Suite

A practical option when several travelers prefer separate beds and an additional sitting area.

  • Compare the actual number of sleeping places.
  • Confirm the maximum room occupancy.
  • Check sofa-bed availability.
  • Request an accessible layout if needed.

Common suite amenities

Room selection tip: A SpringHill studio suite is not the same as a Residence Inn full-kitchen apartment-style suite. Check whether the specific room contains a microwave and mini refrigerator rather than assuming it has a stove or full cooking facilities.

SpringHill Suites Orlando Convention Center Parking Fees

Parking is not complimentary at this property. Marriott publishes paid on-site self-parking with hourly, daily and weekly rates.

Hourly parking
$12

Published hourly rate.

Daily parking
$20

Published charge per vehicle per day.

Weekly parking
$100

Published weekly reference rate.

Parking rule: The fee applies per vehicle. Parking availability may be limited, and the vehicle owner is responsible for towing charges arising from improper parking. Confirm how daily and weekly billing applies to your reservation.

Parking cost examples

StayDaily-rate calculationParking reference
1 day1 × $20$20
2 days2 × $20$40
3 days3 × $20$60
5 days5 × $20$100
7 days7 × $20$140 at daily rate; published weekly rate is $100

Examples are before any applicable taxes or other charges. The hotel determines weekly-rate eligibility, arrival/departure billing and actual parking totals.

Does the hotel have EV charging?

Marriott’s current hotel FAQ states that this property does not provide electric vehicle charging stations. EV drivers should arrange a suitable public charger rather than relying on charging at the hotel.

How to park at the hotel

  1. Use the correct hotel address. Enter 8840 Universal Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32819.
  2. Follow property signage. Use the designated SpringHill Suites parking area rather than a neighboring business lot.
  3. Check the parking fee. Confirm whether your booking already includes parking or whether it will be charged separately.
  4. Keep your vehicle information ready. Follow the check-in or parking registration process provided by the hotel.
  5. Ask about restrictions. If driving an oversized vehicle, towing a trailer or parking for an extended period, contact the property first.
  6. Save your parking location. Keep your room and vehicle details accessible during your stay.
Don’t confuse two separate charges: SpringHill Suites hotel parking and Orange County Convention Center event parking are not the same service. If you drive to your conference, the convention center can charge an additional event parking fee.

Free Breakfast: Menu Information & Serving Hours

Complimentary hot breakfast is one of the property’s main benefits. Marriott advertises free buffet and hot breakfast for guests staying at the hotel.

Monday to Friday
6:30–9:30 AM

Weekday breakfast service.

Saturday & Sunday
7:00–10:00 AM

Weekend breakfast service.

What can you expect at breakfast?

The hotel promotes a hot and buffet-style breakfast. Offerings vary, but the general format includes morning breakfast items, beverages and hot food selections.

Because exact menu items rotate, do not assume that a particular breakfast item will be served every day.

Breakfast tips for conference attendees

  • Early registration: Check whether your convention registration opens before the hotel breakfast service.
  • Large groups: Allow extra time when many guests are departing for the same show.
  • Families: Breakfast can help reduce total daily food expenses.
  • Dietary needs: Ask staff about suitable available items and allergy information.
  • Theme park mornings: Consider your departure time and traffic before relying on a leisurely breakfast.

How Far Is SpringHill Suites from Orange County Convention Center?

Marriott describes this hotel as less than one mile from the Orange County Convention Center. However, that does not mean every convention entrance is equally close.

Important for first-time visitors: OCCC has West, North and South concourses. Always identify your assigned hall or registration entrance before deciding whether to walk, drive or use transportation.
OCCC areaDirectional addressWhat hotel guests should know
West Concourse9800 International DriveCheck your specific West Hall and pedestrian route from the hotel.
North Concourse9400 Universal BoulevardSame major road corridor as the hotel, but the actual hall and entrance may require additional walking.
South Concourse9899 International DriveMay require a different arrival approach or longer walk depending on the event entrance.

How to reach your event correctly

  1. Read the registration email. Identify whether the event uses the West, North or South Concourse.
  2. Find your exact room or hall. Record the building code, hall number and badge pickup location.
  3. Check the pedestrian route. Compare the hotel address against the actual entrance, not just the center of the OCCC campus.
  4. Choose transportation. Walk when the route is practical and conditions are suitable; consider a taxi, rideshare or event shuttle otherwise.
  5. Allow extra time. Major trade shows, large venues and Orlando weather can slow arrival.
  6. Save your route. Keep maps, tickets and registration confirmation available before leaving.

For exact building addresses, parking approaches and hall identification, read our International Drive Convention Center visitor guide.

Should you walk or drive to OCCC?

Walking may work well if…

  • Your assigned entrance has a practical pedestrian route.
  • You have limited luggage or equipment.
  • The weather is comfortable.
  • You want to avoid a second parking charge.

Transportation may be better if…

  • Your conference uses a distant hall.
  • You are carrying exhibition materials.
  • There is heavy rain or extreme heat.
  • Your event provides a shuttle.
  • You need accessible transportation.

For events specifically assigned to the West Concourse, the Orange County Convention Center hotel comparison can help you compare alternative locations and pedestrian connections.

How Much Will a SpringHill Suites Orlando Stay Cost?

Room rates fluctuate with convention schedules, theme park demand, holidays, room availability and cancellation conditions.

Instead of relying on a single advertised nightly price, compare the total amount for your actual travel dates.

What to include in your budget

ExpenseWhat to calculate
Room priceActual nightly rate multiplied by number of nights
Taxes and feesMandatory charges shown in your booking total
Parking$20 published daily rate or qualifying weekly rate
BreakfastIncluded for registered hotel guests
Airport transferTaxi, rideshare, rental car or public transport
Convention travelPossible rideshare, event shuttle or OCCC parking cost
Theme parksTickets, transport, parking and food when relevant
IncidentalsAny card authorization or separately purchased service

Example: Three-night stay

Suppose a suite costs $140 per night and you are charged three days of parking at the published $20 daily rate.

Room3 × $140 = $420

Who should choose this SpringHill Suites?

Good fit for

  • Convention visitors looking for more living space.

  • Travelers exploring International Drive.
  • Guests who want a pool and fitness center.
  • Visitors who do not require a full kitchen.

Useful Local Tips for International Drive Visitors

For convention attendees

Plan around your event entrance, not just the hotel-to-campus distance. A meeting in the West Building may require a different route than one in the North or South Concourse.

For theme park visitors

Do not assume all Orlando attractions are walkable. Universal, SeaWorld and Disney-area destinations require separate transportation planning.

For guests without a car

The International Drive district offers restaurants and attractions nearby. Compare walkable options with I-RIDE stops before paying for short rideshares.

For families

Use the microwave and mini refrigerator for simple snacks, but verify the exact suite layout and bedding for everyone on the reservation.

For early arrivals

Published check-in begins at 3 PM. Request early check-in or luggage storage rather than assuming your suite will be ready immediately.

For drivers

Keep hotel parking and convention parking separate in your budget. Confirm your vehicle is allowed in the assigned parking area.

Orlando weather tip: Warm temperatures, thunderstorms and high humidity can affect walking comfort. Carry water, check forecasts and plan an alternate ride if your convention entrance is farther than expected.
