Rutgers sends a steady stream of faculty, staff, and athletic department travelers to Orlando for conferences, bowl games, and recruitment events. This corporate code knocks roughly 15% off the rack rate at a suite-style resort that actually gives you room to spread out and prep between sessions. If your department is footing the bill, the savings add up fast across a multi-night stay, and if you are paying out of pocket for a family trip tied to university business, even better.
The Property
The Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites sits on Continental Gateway Drive, just off International Drive and about 18 minutes from Orlando International Airport. The surrounding area is pure tourist corridor, with the Orange County Convention Center less than ten minutes away and Walt Disney World about the same distance. It is a 3.8-star rated property based on over 14,000 reviews, which tells you the guest volume is high and feedback is consistent enough to trust.
This is an all-suites property, so even the base room gives you a separate living area, a pull-out sofa, and a small kitchenette with a mini fridge and microwave. That layout is a real advantage for business travelers who need a quiet workspace away from the bed, or for families doubling up on a university-related trip. Expect standard Holiday Inn finishes, nothing luxury, but functional and recently maintained given the resort branding.
The headline amenity is the on-site waterpark, which is included with your stay and makes this a strong pick if you are traveling with kids alongside a work commitment. There is a fitness center, an on-site restaurant, and a grab-and-go market for quick meals between meetings. Breakfast may be available but is not always included in the corporate rate, so confirm at booking.
The Orange County Convention Center is roughly a five-minute drive south, which is why this hotel books up during major events like IAAPA Expo and medical conferences. International Drive is loaded with chain restaurants, quick-service spots, and a few decent independent places within walking distance. If you need office supplies or a FedEx drop, there is a cluster of retail along I-Drive within a couple of minutes.
Your Savings Breakdown
| Rate Tier | Rack Rate | Corporate Rate | Points Earned | Point Value | Net Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $130 | $111 | 1,110 pts | $5.55 | $105.45 | $24.55 |
| Superior | $210 | $179 | 1,790 pts | $8.95 | $170.05 | $39.95 |
| Premium | $340 | $289 | 2,890 pts | $14.45 | $274.55 | $65.45 |
A typical night here runs around $210 at the public rate, but punching in the Rutgers corporate code drops that to roughly $179. You will earn about 1,790 IHG One Rewards points on that stay, worth around $8.95 in future redemptions, which brings your effective net cost down to about $170.05. That is nearly $40 back in your pocket compared to booking at full price without the code.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold IHG One Rewards Platinum, Diamond, or top-tier status, those perks apply on top of the corporate rate. That means you can still receive room upgrades when available, late checkout, welcome amenity points, and bonus points earning. Even Gold status gets you a modest points bonus, so make sure your loyalty number is attached to every reservation.
The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card from Chase earns 10x bonus points on IHG purchases, effectively doubling your earn rate to 20 points per dollar spent at this hotel. The IHG One Rewards Traveler Card is a no-annual-fee option that still earns 5x on IHG stays. Either card stacks cleanly with the corporate rate and any elite bonuses you already have.
Book directly through IHG rather than a third-party site to protect both your corporate rate and your points earning. IHG regularly runs quarterly promotions, such as bonus points after two or three stays, so register for any active promo before your trip. For Orlando specifically, rates tend to spike during school holidays and major convention weeks, so locking in the corporate rate early during those windows produces the biggest gap between what you pay and what everyone else pays.
Bottom Line: Depending on the season and room type, Rutgers employees using code 100189760 can expect to save anywhere from $24.55 to $65.45 per night at this property after factoring in IHG points earned back. The all-suite layout and included waterpark make it a particularly smart pick if your Orlando trip blends work obligations with family time. For convention center access, I-Drive dining, and a reasonable airport commute, this is a solid mid-range base that does not waste university travel dollars.
