Cheer-Specific Hotel Needs
Cheer teams have specific needs: space for hair and makeup, meeting rooms for practice and team preparation, on-site laundry for uniforms, and large suites where multiple athletes can get ready at the same time.
The best cheer competition hotels also offer free early breakfast for competition-morning call times and are close to the venue to minimize travel stress.
Recommended Hotels for Cheer Teams
For Orlando-area cheer competitions at ESPN Wide World of Sports, the Flamingo Crossings hotels are ideal. They offer suites with kitchens, meeting rooms, free breakfast starting at 6:30 AM, on-site laundry, and are 10 minutes from the venue.
Cheer Team Hotel Tips
Request a meeting room for hair and makeup preparation. Ask for rooms on the same floor so the team can gather easily. Book suites with sofa beds so athletes can share rooms and reduce costs per family. Use the hotel laundry to wash uniforms between competition days.
