I stayed at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel on a couple occasions. My wife and I stated at the hotel late December in 2007. This second trip we decided that we wanted to stay in the "new" section of the hotel.
Since we stayed the weekend before the Christmas holiday we were greeted with a very quiet hotel. I have to say it was really nice. We purchased a bed & breakfast package for around $180 a night. I asked for a non-smoking room on a high floor. Well we checked into the room and even though it was non-smoking someone must have smoked a few packs. I called the front desk and they moved us to the Concierge level. The rooms on that level where $209 a night, but the hotel did not charge us for the upgrade.
If you look at staying at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel plan check into the newer side and pay extra for the Concierge level, it is worth it. The rooms have better furniture, a larger bathroom, and you get access to the 25th floor Concierge level. There are free drinks, a nice lounge area, and if you want get free pop and water.
Fitness Center - Amway Grand Plaza Hotel The fitness center was comparable to fitness centers in some Vegas hotels. The work out area is behind a glass wall overlooking the pool. There are around 10 high end tread mills, 4 elliptical machines, a ton of free weights on dumbbells, and barbells, Olympic bench set, and some very smooth Nautilus workout machines.
Pool Area Large pool that you would expect to see at an outdoor park. At the end of the pool is a hot tub that is all stainless steel. It probably seats around 30 people. I thought a stainless steel hot tub was very unique, but you could not lean back and relax since the surface is slippery.
Locker Room The locker rooms have all hardwood cabinets to store your items. There are large private showers and a hot sauna. The hotel provides combs, shaving cream, q-tips, and other necessities.
Other Features: The fitness area offers racket ball and outdoor tennis and basketball.
