Mega complex, mega fun

While the complex is in need a of a good "refreshening," it remains one of the best spots in Orlando. The multiple bars and mix of music allow for just about anyone to find something to enjoy.

To All My Gay Family Worldwide

The PH Hotel has been around for many of moons. It would be a sad day to see it leave. Stop & think about it people, some of your tricks that you bring to your room, I am sure that after the sex was over, You have smelled worse odors. The rooms are clean, Its not The Grand Cyress Hyatt, But the trade is festive. gay bars have been in bad areas for quite sometime. Do the right thing, and support The PH, Give them a chance to restore & remodel things to your likening. Rent a room, Help the PH make money & stay in business. People, Don't discriminate against our own Gay family. And remember to bring your Condoms with you. Its a sexy, Crusing place to enjoy. Bring your lovers, You all can have fun.

Remodeled rooms but...

Still need more work on outside. Major cracks on balcony One section has been closed more months now because it is unsafe. Still the most popular place to go in ORL

Nazi Patrol Ends Parliament House Fun

Ever since the current owners, a straight couple, took over the security has gotten more and more intense. If I am paying double the going rate for a seedy motel room on the ghetto side of town I want to have cruisers all night. The guards chase out all non-guests after the bar closes and spoil the chances of fun. What a difference a decade makes. And the stupid timeshare sits out there unsold and ever pretentious. Parliament is no longer in session. The Nazis have taken over!

Stayed here night of 8-1-2010

OK this has one of the most "mixed" reviews of any place on gaycities, some of you love it, some of you hate it. I decided to try it and judge for myself. Came for the Sunday T-dance and stayed over. Here's my opinion: 1. employees/managment being rude: no, they were professional and nice. had no negative encounters, mostly had positive encounters 2. bartenders being bad: tried out all the bars. all bartenders were friendly, though some drinks were better than others. probably would not have thought twice about it had some reviewers here not commented. drinks aren't cheap but if you stay there you can go to the liquor store next door and bring your own. 3. cleanliness: room was perfectly clean. there's a difference between being totally updated/modern and being clean. this place is definitely not updated, probably last remodel was early 80's? but it is maintained and clean. 4. noise: yes it's noisy until 2am. expect this, and bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper (like me) 5. the neighborhood: yes it's skanky but it won't seem overtly dangerous unless you've only lived in white-picket-fence suburbs your whole life. then again some rich-bitch neighborhood wouldn't put up with a loud-ass gay mega-plex among their mcmansions. 6. the crowd: great mix of people. tons of people of all ages, nationalities, etc. whatever it is you like, it's here, and it's friendly. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place ***if you know what to expect***. I had a blast. But if you come here expecting the four seasons, and/or if you're totally prudish about gay men being gay men and cruising, you might not like it.
