KMCO/MCO - Orlando - Avid hotel - February 2026
In Orlando we stayed at the Avid hotel. The hotel is situated just outside the airport on the north side, just west of the runways. The hotel has an airport shuttle. Rooms on the top floor, on the front side of the hotel give good views on both runways. Rooms with odd numbers 505 till 519 are fine. We had a room with 2 queen beds. With a little effort nothing needs to be missed. There is a 7Eleven next to the hotel for food and drinks.
Picture 1 is the floor plan an picture 2 is departures from runway 36R in the front and 35L in the back

KMIA/MIA - Miami - Candlewood Suites- February 2026
KDFW/DFW - Dallas Fort Worth - Grand Hyatt - February 2026
This Hotel is part of the Terminal building at DFW Airport, room 746 which is at end of the corridor. You can get all N/S stuff easily from room to see movements from the West simply by opening the door and not even leaving room to the east. I imagine if you had the room across the hall, 747, you’d have the reverse, but also be able to see DAL activity.
