Booking tips for an MCO airport hotel

Confirm the exact shuttle window. Ask whether service covers your flight time, whether a reservation is required and where pickup happens at MCO.

Do not assume parking is included. A free airport shuttle and free long-term parking are separate benefits. Ask about nightly parking fees and park-and-fly packages.

Allow extra time during peak travel. Orlando is busy around school holidays and cruise departure days; shared hotel shuttles may make multiple stops.
