Suites Lake Mary FL — Compare Suite Hotels and Room Types

Lake Mary's suite hotels are concentrated along Greenwood Boulevard, close to I-4 interchange access. Candlewood Suites, Extended Stay America, and Residence Inn by Marriott all position themselves as all-suite or suite-dominant properties, meaning nearly every room includes a kitchen or kitchenette rather than a standard hotel room layout.

Business travelers find the corridor attractive because companies such as Scholastic, Duke Energy, and Verizon maintain offices nearby. Leisure guests use Lake Mary as a quieter base for day trips to Universal Studios and SeaWorld, both accessible via I-4. Two golf courses — Magnolia Plantation and Timacuan — sit within six miles of the hotel cluster.

Price tiers spread across a meaningful range. Extended Stay America lists studio suites from $55.19 per night for members, while Residence Inn by Marriott positions its product higher with two-bedroom suites featuring full ovens and glass-enclosed showers. Candlewood Suites sits between the two, offering pet-friendly all-suite rooms with fully equipped kitchens and a seasonal outdoor pool.

Studio suites in Lake Mary all include full kitchen equipment as a standard feature — not an upgrade. At Extended Stay America this means a full-size refrigerator, stovetop, and microwave in every room. Candlewood Suites mirrors this with a two-burner stovetop, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker, plus plates, utensils, and cookware supplied.

For business travelers comparing studio options: Extended Stay America's studios include a dedicated dining and work space alongside a large 50-inch flat-screen TV, while Candlewood Suites' studio configuration gives guests access to a 24-hour business center in the building rather than in-room workstation emphasis.

The one-bedroom suite category in Lake Mary bridges the gap between a studio and a full two-bedroom layout. Candlewood Suites offers a one-bedroom suite with the same full-kitchen package as its studio, while Residence Inn by Marriott offers two one-bedroom configurations — one with a king bed only, and one with a king bed plus sofa bed.

For business travelers: Residence Inn's one-bedroom suites include ergonomic workspaces, free Wi-Fi, and a refrigerator and coffee/tea maker confirmed in the property's FAQ section. The Residence Inn is located at 825 Heathrow Park Lane, Lake Mary, a separate address from the Greenwood Boulevard cluster.

Residence Inn offers a two-bedroom suite with two separate king-bed rooms — one king bedroom and a second bedroom with both a king bed and a sofa bed. Maximum occupancy for the largest room type reaches 6 guests, the highest available at any Lake Mary suite hotel. This configuration also features a full-size oven (not found in studio or standard one-bedroom suites), a larger dining table, and a glass-enclosed shower.

For families comparing options: Residence Inn's two-bedroom suite accommodates up to 6 guests with two private sleeping areas, while Extended Stay America's largest option — the 2-full-bed studio — keeps all sleeping in one open room and has no stated guest maximum in the source data.

The Superior Studio with 1 King Bed at Extended Stay America adds a sofa sleeper to the standard king studio layout. This is the only room type at Extended Stay America's Lake Mary location that includes a sofa sleeper, making it a functional option for guests who need an occasional second sleeping surface without committing to a higher price tier at Residence Inn.

Source data listed this room as unavailable at time of review, so availability should be confirmed directly with the property. All standard Extended Stay America amenities — full kitchen, free Wi-Fi, free breakfast, 24/7 laundry — apply to this room type.

Candlewood Suites charges a daily pet fee of $25.00, capped at a maximum of $150.00 regardless of length of stay. This makes Candlewood cost-effective for guests staying more than six nights with a pet, since the fee stops accumulating after day six.

Extended Stay America confirms pet-friendly rooms at this location, with fees applicable but the exact daily or total amount not published in the source data — contact the property at 1-407-833-0011 for current pet fee details. Residence Inn by Marriott also confirms pets are welcome with fees applied, though specific amounts are not stated in the available source material.

For pet owners comparing options: Candlewood Suites' capped $150 maximum provides the most cost certainty for longer stays, while its outdoor gazebo area and seasonal pool give guests with dogs more outdoor space compared to Extended Stay America's facility layout.

Extended Stay America offers discounted weekly rates for guests staying seven or more nights. The standard weekly rate for a queen studio is $59.99 per night — versus the $55.19 member rate — and includes all taxes and fees in the published totals. A seven-night stay in the queen studio at the weekly rate totals $485.38 including taxes and fees, per the source listing.

Candlewood Suites is also explicitly positioned as an extended-stay property, with weekly housekeeping (one full-service cleaning per week) as a standard feature. The 24-hour business center, complimentary parking, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary laundry machines (listed as 100% free to use for guests 24/7) reduce daily living costs for longer-stay guests.

Residence Inn by Marriott rounds out the extended-stay options at the premium tier. Guests can stay as a single party of up to 6 in the two-bedroom suite, and the full kitchen with oven supports meal preparation across multi-week stays. Common reasons guests use these properties for longer stays include home renovations, relocations, work assignments, and temporary housing needs, per Extended Stay America's own FAQ content.

All three Lake Mary suite properties benefit from proximity to I-4, which connects directly to the broader Orlando metro. Universal Studios and SeaWorld are reachable as day trips. The Candlewood Suites source specifically notes that tourists and families use the location as a base for theme park visits while avoiding the heavier traffic closer to the parks.

Local shopping options include Seminole Towne Center and the lakefront Uptown Altamonte development, both described as close to the Candlewood Suites location. Magnolia Plantation and Timacuan golf courses are within six miles.

Extended Stay America's source notes that from its Greenwood Boulevard location, guests can visit the Central Florida Zoo Botanical Gardens, the Orlando Science Center, Wekiwa Springs State Park, and the Altamonte Mall. Residence Inn at 825 Heathrow Park Lane sits on a separate corridor from the Greenwood Boulevard cluster, which may appeal to guests wanting a quieter address away from the denser hotel strip.
