Know Your Parent Company: Orange Lake Resort vs Holiday Inn vs IHG

Can't find how to ? That's because the resort isn't its own company. Instead, Orange Lake Resort is part of the Holiday Inn Club Vacations line of venues. And Holiday Inn actually belongs to the Intercontinental Hotel Group or IHG for short. So the customer service suite is spread between all three brands.

How to Complain About Your Current Orange Lake Resorts Stay

If you are currently staying at the Orange Lake Resorts, your complaints will likely start by going through the front desk. You may not be able to call the front desk from your room, so prepare to head over there in person. It's a big campus, so don't hesitate to catch a shuttle on the way down to the front desk.

Once there, ask to have your complaint officially filed and then seek a resolution. Unfortunately, reports suggest that satisfaction through the front desk staff is very hit-or-miss. As the resort seems not to have tight management, your quality of service is a random roll of the dice on whether you find a friendly and helpful staff member.

A Matter For The Police

If a crime has occurred on hotel grounds and the staff will not take action, report it to the local police. Florida local police are used to travel-related issues like theft, stalking, and assault.

How to File a Complaint After Your Stay at Orange Lake Resort

If you have completed your stay and returned home only to discover a reason for an Orange Lake Resorts complaint, you can take it up with one of the two corporate parents. Contacting Holiday Inn may lead to direct intervention, but it may not. Unfortunately, hospitality businesses this large, it's also easy for things to get written off, overlooked, and allowed to slip through the cracks.

Interestingly, taking it to the top and seeking satisfaction from IHG may be more likely to yield results, as the larger parent company has more to gain from a policy of appeasement for its international guest audience.

The Most Common Complaints About Orange Lake Resort

  1. Rooms Are Not Ready or Not Clean

Many complaints about the Orange Lake Resort report that the rooms are poorly cleaned, sometimes to the point of disgust, while others send glowing reports of beautiful rooms. This leads us to believe that Orange Lake Resort is hit-or-miss and the housekeeping standard - like the customer service standard - is really up to your individual cleaning staff.

  1. Missing Items or Stolen Cash

Missing and stolen items are a problem in any hotel environment, especially one as busy as Orange Lake Resort. However, they are responsible for rooms remaining locked, items in their possession, and anything put into the safe.

  1. Timeshare Presentations and Mistreatment of Guests Who Do Not Buy

By all accounts, do not agree to sit through a timeshare presentation. The timeshares are not exclusive, anyone can book a room, and the presentations are known to be abusive. That 90-minute golf car tour is actually 4 hours of high-pressure selling. There are also several reports of poor guest treatment upon rejecting the offer.

  1. Poor Management of Timeshares

Timeshares are not exclusive, not necessarily kept clean, and by reports are not rewarding to own.

  1. Non-Accessible Rooms and Grounds

Disabled guests who rely on wheels or accessible pathways have also found legitimate reasons to complain about Orange Lake Resort.
