Mike Gross from California claims his family vacation in Kissimmee at Holiday Inn Club Vacations’ Orange Lake Resort was ruined when his 3-year-old daughter found a sex toy in their condo room. After reporting the incident to staff and receiving no immediate response, Gross became upset with the hotel's handling of the situation, which he believes ignored potential health risks. Three weeks later, the resort offered compensation conditional on Gross not posting reviews or contacting agencies, an offer he rejected. The article highlights Gross’s anger over what he sees as a lack of concern from Holiday Inn management regarding guest safety and cleanliness.

Story summary
A California family's vacation in Kissimmee, Florida, was ruined when Mike Gross’s 3-year-old daughter found a six-inch vibrator in their hotel room at Holiday Inn Club Vacations’ Orange Lake Resort near Disney World. The discovery occurred on the second night of their four-day stay. After cleaning his daughter’s hands and searching for other items, Gross called the front desk but received no response from management. This led to frustration as the family did not receive an apology or resolution despite informing resort staff about the incident immediately. A spokesperson for Holiday Inn Club Vacations acknowledged the situation and expressed regret that their standards were not met.
