Ramada by Wyndham

Set along the US-192 corridor in Kissimmee, Ramada by Wyndham Kissimmee Gateway is a practical tournament-week home base for teams heading to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The property is geared toward high-volume travel weeks, with an easy in-and-out feel that works when your roster arrives in waves and game times start early.

Unlike smaller boutique hotels, this is the kind of place built to handle groups, buses, and families moving on different schedules. Coaches can use the lobby and common areas as a clear meet point for headcounts and departure reminders, while players have room to decompress between games without everyone being stacked into a tight footprint.

Mornings are where sports travel either stays organized or slips. A hotel in this category is typically set up to keep breakfast and coffee simple, then get guests out the door quickly. In-room fridge space is also a big deal on tournament trips, since teams often carry hydration, recovery drinks, and quick food that needs cold storage.

Between games, the priority is recovery and routine. A pool gives athletes a low-effort reset, and on-site dining or nearby quick-service options help you avoid the “twenty people, twenty opinions” problem when you just need dinner handled. If your team is traveling with families, the surrounding commercial area makes it easy to grab supplies like ice, snacks, and athletic tape without burning half an hour each way.

Engine.com supports the back-end work that usually falls on one stressed-out organizer. That includes coordinating the room block, keeping the rooming list accurate, handling changes as brackets and travel days move, and consolidating billing so you are not chasing receipts across families or staff.
