Had a nice stay. Love how close it is to Universal and that there's a shuttle to take if you want. Rooms were decent, bathroom was a little dirty. Beds were very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again.

I would stay here again. Safe, clean, friendly, affordable. Staff was helpful and polite. No critters. We walked to Universal Studios which saved parking fees and no hassel. We didn't use the pool, but we didn't go to Orlando for a hotel pool, we went for Universal. Bfast was decent, got full. There's. Walgreens and Kpot restaurant in walking distance, which are super convenient

Unfortunately for this particular location the weather was extremely hot. So when we decided to cool off in the hotel pool we quickly realized it was not sanitary or been cleaned in awhile. It had not been touched for our entire 7 day stay.

We have passes for our family of 5 ( kids age from 15-5) and stayed at this hotel first and loved it. Our next visit we made the mistake of going to a different hotel and it definitely made a difference in our experience. The staff is very friendly, it’s accessible to the parks as well as shopping and restaurants, and the rooms were amazing!!!We will always stay at this hotel when we come to Orlando!

Beware

We found a giant live cockroach in our room right when we entered. I asked to move rooms and was told they were all full, even though mere minutes prior he had asked me which floor I’d prefer (indicating there were rooms on each). He instead gave me $30 off one nights stay (we were there three nights). The bathroom was extremely disgusting with black mold looking substance all on the bathtub grout & in the toilet bowl. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, the pillows very lumpy, the mattress was stained. The air conditioner could barely keep up. The breakfast had extremely limited options. The only good thing about this hotel was the location which was extremely convenient to Universal and some good restaurants. I would not recommend or stay here again.

We had a terrible experience in our stay. Checking in the person at front desk, Braulio, made an offensive comment when my husband asked why was he asking for a credit card if the reservation was already paid for. Braulio replied; "because if you get drunk you could wet the bed or break something and you get to pay for it". What is he implying with that comment? Then, our keys to room 117 would not open the door. A gentleman from housekeeping went to front desk and brought us a new set of keys. That night around 12 midnight, someone opened our room door. I called front desk and was told our room appeared as vacant. It seems Braulio never completed the registration. We were asked to verify our information so that the registration to that room could be completed. This incident could have triggered a bad situation for us and the hotel. What would you do if someone enters your room in the middle of the night without an explanation? It could have resulted in a very bad incident. Luckily, the upper lock of the door was on but we were left with a very sour taste. We did not feel safe for the rest of the stay. The only stars of our stay was housekeeping. Maria did our room and she was outstanding. Kudos to the gentleman from housekeeping who tried to help us when our keys to room 117 were not working.

You can do better

Went to check in at 4:30pm but for some reason the room wasn’t ready had to wait in the lobby for an hour. Not optimal after flying across the country. Also the shuttle runs twice once in n the morning before universal opens and once in the evening at 5:30 well before park closes. The shuttle is also super packed as it picks up from multiple hotels.

Well it's not spotless, but clean enough. Staff are polite, but service is ok. Free basic breakfast in the morning. Parking is free, about 25min walk to universal studios. Uber ride is around 6buck(non busy hour). Few nice restaurants nearby and a Walgreens.

Everyone’s keys stopped working half way through our stay and instead of simply replacing or apologizing for the inconvenience, we were all lectured about where we must have placed our cards in our pockets or wallets (the place you would put a hotel key)… it was very awkward.
