We had issues in our room of a moldy shower head. We complained several times and it was fixed the day before check out. The room itself smelled of mold. The manager never came out to talk to us ridiculous

Was okay. Great location but I do realize that the area was hit by a hurricane a couple days before. so over looking the dirty areas. Food was mediocre cold eggs and dried up sausage links. Shuttle only went once to universal and only one return trip.

The room smelled horrible like mold and mildew definitely from the carpet and AC. The bathroom door got stuck and my son couldn't get out. AC wasn't cold enough. Toilet was dirty and had a pubic hair on the seat. TV was buffering no clear picture. Phone in room wasn't working. The front desk was no help at all. The man working at the front desk said he wanted to cancel our reservation but we were like and then where do we go at 7 pm. We asked to move rooms and he said no. I said can you check before you say no. Then he said were sold out. He was not willing to help in anyway. He then said there's no housekeeping either so basically we had to clean it ourselves. I had to get clorox wipes to wipe down the entire room and purchased deodorizer for the horrible smell. WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN, ONE NIGHT WAS BAD ENOUGH!

Great value
Hotel staff was nice and helpful when we needed to extend our stay a night due to changes in our trip because of Milton. The breakdown was good, and the room was clean. We had a room on the first floor and worried about noise from the lobby, but we never heard anything outside our room. This is the second time staying at this hotel, and we will stay again. It is also super convenient for walking to restaurants and Universal Studios.

There was a roach in the bathroom room and spider crawling on the ceiling. When we got to the room the carpet was soaked. AC would turn on and off every 2 mins. At 5 AM there was someone building furniture in front of our door and there were bangs on our door. When I opened the door boxes came falling in. He was using our door to lean the boxes on. When I spoke to front desk about it all we were told was oh I’m sorry. Anything else? I will not stay here again.

We found a dead ant on our bed, the corridors smelled like mold, the shower head had visible mold on it & you could see the rust on the pipes under the bathroom sink. Had to go to the front desk to activate the key card twice because it stopped working. Breakfast was ok. Location was great. Staff was nice. Will not be staying here again & wouldnt recommend anyone to due to the lack of cleanliness that should be a basic requirement

Only giving this a two-star rating due to two separate instances on the same day where staff came knocking on our door and attempted to enter our room while we were there. At no time did the front desk ever tell us during check-in than any sort of Maintenance or anything had to be done during our stay and that they needed to have access to our room or even permission to enter while we were there or even when we were gone. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!! The first attempt we made it to the door and time before we heard them attempting to enter our room. The second time we were dead asleep and I barely made it to the door to answer. Had to hide behind it as I was not dressed properly. Again, I managed to get to the door before they attempted to open our room. If this hotel has the habit of letting their staff just enter a guest's room without prior authorization or letting them know, this is wrong. After this incident I did not a safe here or feel like like the hotel treated their guests with respect and courtesy.

I booked this hotel because of walkable distance to Universal. I was happy with my overall stay/ value for the money.The staff were friendly, rooms clean, however the hotel needs an upkeep, the breakfast had limited choices and the pool wasn't cleaned on regular basis.

Had several issues with the key cards not working when we first got checked in and then once they just stopped working during our stay, staff was nice and quick to fix any issues, beds were comfy and breakfast was your typical hotel breakfast, if that’s not your thing there’s a Burger King in the same parking lot. Overall nice stay and convenient if going universal
