Home2 Suites Orlando Flamingo Crossings, officially Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings Town Center, is an all-suite Hilton just outside Walt Disney World’s western entrance with a kitchenette in every suite, a free hot breakfast and a heated saline pool with a waterslide. It sits at 341 Flagler Avenue, next door to Homewood Suites, and Hilton lists 272 rooms.
It is a Walt Disney World Gateway Hotel, not a Disney resort: you get free scheduled shuttles and a Target a short walk away, but no Early Theme Park Entry. We checked the shuttle operator’s booking system and Booking.com on October 28, 2026, and Hilton’s pages as archived in February to April 2026.
Quick answer: Book Home2 Suites Orlando Flamingo Crossings if your group of up to six wants a two-bedroom suite or a two-queen studio, free hot breakfast, a slide pool, $20 parking and no resort fee, and you will drive or use a fixed-time free shuttle. Skip it if you need a full stove, Early Theme Park Entry or Disney Springs evenings without a car.

Location and distances from Flamingo Crossings
Flamingo Crossings Town Center is a new district of hotels and chain restaurants at the western gateway to Walt Disney World Resort, off State Road 429. The address says Winter Garden, but you are next to Disney property.
Our road routes (OSRM, no traffic) end at each park’s guest parking or toll plaza on public roads. Hilton says “within 10 minutes” of Walt Disney World and lists 8 miles to the theme parks, 7 to ESPN Wide World of Sports, 17 to Universal and 25 to the airport. Booking.com says 6.2 miles to Walt Disney World and 22 miles to the airport.
| Destination | By road | Drive, no traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Animal Kingdom guest parking | About 5 mi | About 11 min |
| EPCOT toll plaza / main lot | About 6 / 7 mi | 12 to 17 min |
| Magic Kingdom (TTC lot) | About 7.5 mi | About 14 min |
| Hollywood Studios toll plaza | About 7.5 mi | About 19 min |
| ESPN Wide World of Sports | About 7 mi | About 16 min |
| Disney Springs (Lime garage) | About 8 mi | About 16 min |
| Epic Universe toll plaza | About 16.5 mi | About 30 min |
| Universal (garage toll plaza) | About 17 mi | About 30 min |
| Orlando airport (MCO) | About 25.5 mi | About 42 min |
Animal Kingdom is the easy morning, about 11 minutes via Western Way and Buena Vista Drive; compare our hotels near Animal Kingdom.
Our walking route to Target is about a quarter mile, roughly five to six minutes. The Town Center directory also lists Starbucks, Dunkin’, Five Guys, Firehouse Subs, Hash House A Go Go, a 7-Eleven and an AdventHealth ER. Tenants change, so check the directory first.
Rooms: studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites
Every room is a suite with a sofa bed. Hilton lists four layouts, plus accessible versions. Sizes are Booking.com’s figures; Hilton does not publish them.
| Suite | Beds | Sleeps (Hilton) | Size (Booking.com) |
|---|---|---|---|
| King Studio Suite | 1 king + sofa bed | 4 | About 420 sq ft (39 m²) |
| Two-Queen Studio Suite | 2 queens + sofa bed | 6 | About 420 sq ft (39 m²) |
| One-Bedroom King Suite | 1 king + sofa bed | 4 | About 645 sq ft (60 m²) |
| Two-Bedroom Suite | 1 king + 1 queen + sofa bed | 6 | About 1,020 sq ft (95 m²) |
The two-queen studio is the value choice for six, but everyone shares one open room and one bathroom. The two-bedroom suite gives the adults a door to close. Hilton places its sofa bed in the living room, while Booking.com lists it in the second bedroom, so ask if the layout matters. On Booking.com, the one-bedroom king suite appeared only for our February 2027 dates.
Kitchenette, not a full kitchen. Hilton’s room descriptions list a full-size refrigerator, a microwave, a sink, a dishwasher and a coffee maker. There is no built-in stove: Hilton says induction cooktops are available from the front desk. Its feature lists say “Kitchenette,” while its amenity list says “In-Room Kitchen.” Plan on simple meals rather than full family dinners.
Accessible suites include accessible tubs, roll-in showers and hearing-accessible rooms with visual alarms. Hilton also offers connecting rooms.
Pool, waterslide and recreation
Hilton describes a saline-based outdoor pool “and epic water slide,” marked as heated, with posted hours of 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily in its February 2026 data. The hotel’s photos show a curved pool with fountain jets, a teal waterslide and a pool lift. Booking.com marks the pool as open all year. Hilton’s pages do not mention a lifeguard, so watch younger children closely around the slide.
Hilton also lists backyard sports courts and an outdoor restaurant and bar. The hotel’s gallery shows outdoor grills and two fire pit lounges.
On a rest day, the slide and the fire pits keep everyone busy without a drive.
Free breakfast and dining
Hilton lists a daily free hot breakfast buffet “complete with Mickey Mouse waffles,” though some room descriptions call it “grab and go.” Hilton does not publish breakfast hours, so ask at check-in if you plan to ride the 7:30 a.m. shuttle.
The Feather & Bean Bistro in the lobby serves breakfast sandwiches and coffee drinks, then burgers, pizza, salads and wings at its bar; Hilton listed 7 a.m. to noon and 4 to 11 p.m. daily in February 2026. Hilton lists it separately from the free breakfast, so ask what is included. The Pool Bar and Grill serves sandwiches, pizza and frozen cocktails, noon to 10:30 p.m. (“hours may vary”). There is no room service.
Parking, fees and policies
- Parking: self-parking is $20 per day on Hilton’s pages (April 2026 capture), with covered spaces, in-and-out privileges and on-site EV chargers. There is no valet. Booking.com also shows US$20 per day and adds “reservation is needed,” so mention your car when you book.
- Resort fee: Hilton’s pages list no resort, amenity or destination fee. Booking.com’s price breakdown for our sample stays on November 17 to 19 and December 9 to 11, 2026 and February 16 to 18, 2027 showed only the 12.50% tax line, with no resort fee.
- Pets: up to two dogs or cats, 75 pounds maximum, with a non-refundable fee of $75 for 1 to 4 nights or $125 for 5 or more nights.
- Check-in and age: Hilton and Booking.com both show check-in from 4 p.m. and check-out at 11 a.m. Another part of Hilton’s page says 3 p.m. and noon, so confirm if you arrive early. The minimum age to check in is 21.
- Cribs: Hilton’s amenity list includes cribs, but Booking.com’s policy says “Cribs and extra beds aren’t available at this property.” Call the hotel before you travel with a baby.
- Smoking: smoke-free, with a fee of up to $250 for smoking in a room.
- Hilton Honors: the Honors discount rate, points and Hilton’s Park & Stay parking offer apply only to bookings made directly with Hilton, not to Booking.com reservations.
Worked example: for a four-night stay with a car and three days of driving to the parks, hotel parking is 4 × $20 = $80, and Disney standard parking is 3 × $35 = $105, tax included. That is $185 in parking, plus any tax the hotel adds to its $20 (Hilton does not say). Riding the free shuttle on those three days removes the $105 Disney charge but not the hotel’s $80.
Getting to the Disney parks from Home2 Suites
Hilton advertises “scheduled shuttle transportation to and from the magic” and “shuttles to Disney” but posts no timetable or price. The reservation system of Firefighters All Services, a Kissimmee shuttle company, lists “Home 2 Suites at Flamingo Crossings” as its own pickup. On October 28, 2026, it showed the same runs, at a rate of $0.00, for November 4, November 21 and December 9, 2026 and January 13, 2027:
| Stop | Leaves hotel | Returns from park |
|---|---|---|
| Animal Kingdom | 7:30 a.m. | 5:45 p.m. |
| Hollywood Studios | 10:10 a.m. | 5:15 and 10:15 p.m. |
| Magic Kingdom / TTC (monorail to EPCOT) | 7:30 and 10:10 a.m. | 5:30 and 10:30 p.m. |
The operator shows the same times for Homewood Suites next door. There are no direct EPCOT, Disney Springs or Universal runs; for EPCOT, take the monorail from the TTC. Confirm the times and how to reserve at the front desk.
A car gives you more freedom. Disney’s parking page listed $35 a day for standard theme park parking, tax included, at our October 28, 2026 check. The page adds that paying does not guarantee a space if you switch parks later that day. Disney Springs parking is free.
Home2 Suites is not on Disney’s list of non-Disney hotels with Early Theme Park Entry, and you can buy Lightning Lane passes 3 days ahead, against 7 days for Disney Resort hotels.
There is no shuttle to Universal or Epic Universe, about 16.5 to 17 miles away. Hilton lists the airport shuttle as “Not available,” and Mears Connect’s hotel list does not include Flamingo Crossings, so plan on a rental car or rideshare; the fastest airport route uses the SR 417 toll road.
Amenities: fitness, laundry and Wi-Fi
Home2’s Spin2 Cycle room combines the fitness center and the guest laundry. Hilton’s pages disagree on its hours (“24-hour” in several room descriptions, a 6 a.m. opening in its hours data), so ask if you train late.
Wi-Fi is free in rooms and the lobby. Hilton also lists Digital Key, a concierge, meeting rooms and streaming TV, and as a Disney Gateway Hotel it sells theme park tickets through a “Buy Tickets” link on its page.
Home2 Suites vs Homewood Suites next door
The two Flamingo Crossings Hiltons share a street, a shuttle timetable and a parking price, so the choice comes down to the suites. Homewood figures come from our Homewood Suites Flamingo Crossings review.
| What matters | Home2 Suites | Homewood Suites |
|---|---|---|
| Largest suite | Two-bedroom suite for 6 | Two-queen one-bedroom suite for 6 |
| Cooking | Kitchenette; cooktop on request | Full kitchen with a stovetop |
| Breakfast | Free hot breakfast | Free hot breakfast |
| Pool | Heated saline pool with slide | Heated pool with waterslide |
| Parking | $20 a day | $20 a day |
Choose Home2 for two bedrooms or two queen beds in a studio. Choose Homewood for a built-in stovetop.
Who Home2 Suites Flamingo Crossings suits
It works best for families of five or six who want two bedrooms or two queen beds and breakfast included. It also suits sports teams at ESPN, longer stays and pet owners. If cooking real meals matters, compare our Orlando hotels with kitchens.
It suits you less if you want to walk to a park, use Disney buses or plan several Universal days.
Pros
- Two-bedroom suites and two-queen studios that Hilton lists for six.

- Shuttle runs are few and fixed, with no direct EPCOT, Disney Springs or Universal service.
- No airport shuttle, and Mears Connect does not list the hotel.
- Crib availability is unclear: Hilton lists cribs, Booking.com says none.
- Hilton Honors points and perks apply only to direct Hilton bookings.
What to check before you book
- The room type: six people need the two-queen studio or the two-bedroom suite; king studios and one-bedroom king suites are listed for four.
- The shuttle: ask for the current timetable and how far ahead to reserve, especially for the 7:30 a.m. Animal Kingdom run.
- Your total price: look for any daily charge in the rate details and add $20 a night for parking.
- A crib or cooktop: request both in advance, because the official pages disagree on cribs and cooktops come from the front desk.
- Accessibility: request a roll-in shower or accessible tub when you book, then confirm.
