Me and my fiancé picked this hotel since it is across the street from Universal Studios and we could just walk everyday to avoid a rental car and the excessive amount to park daily here but MY MY MY was that a horrible idea! Next time we visit Orlando, we will be investing in something way better and in a much cleaner area. First, the area where the hotel is located is near the highway which makes the area look really ran down. The room smelled so bad like the carpet hadn’t been cleaned in years. It smelled like wet towels or something. The room was also dirty but clean to the surface and was also out dated. The elevators are SUPER old and slow so if you have to be somewhere, you should leave your room at least 20 minutes early. Also, we arrived and had to wait 3 hours in the lobby for the room that was NOT worth waiting for. It resembles a upscale motel or an upscale but ran down extended stay. The only thing we enjoyed was the sitting area outside with the fire pit and fountain, the pool, and being away from the rooms at the parks. This is our first and last stay here! Please save your money and stay somewhere better! I understand it’s convenient for the parks but trust me, it’s not how the pictures look!
The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The beds are slightly smaller than queen sized, more like a double bed.
Convenient access to Universal and to restaurants.
We didn't really receive any service, I suppose if we had called down we could have requested more towels or toiletries, we had just enough though.
Front desk staff were friendly.
Tip: there is a FREE shuttle bus to Universal, however, availability for the early times fills up quick. I recommend scheduling a day ahead. Otherwise it is a 20 to 25 minute walk, which is doable, but you'll be walking all day.
We stayed there while visiting Universal Studios, Sea Life and Legoland. The hotel is conveniently located near Universal Studios- but it’s at least 30-40 min walk from it.
The pool was decent, hot tub nice but didn’t look too clean. The staff is super nice and most people I talked to has worked there for a few years so that was nice to hear. The gym was super nice and clean.
The hotel has Avis rental place desk, shuttle to Universal ( that required reservations ahead of time) and convenient gift shop. There is a decent restaurant and small fast food place.
The overall stay was nice- nothing too fancy but perfect for a few nights with my boys while enjoying parks around.
Great hotel for the price! Very comfortable and convenient to Universal. The staff was 5+ stars—some of the friendliest hotel staff (in all positions) I’ve ever encountered. A bit of a hike to the parks, but very doable... about 20ish minutes (and better than anything else I know of that isn’t in the park). Only downside: not many dining options near or at the hotel. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant, but it seemed unimpressive and over priced. Other than that, would recommend this hotel!
Stayed here for a weekend getaway in Orlando. We were really impressed with this hotel! Many of the resort amenities without the resort fee. We especially enjoyed the HUGE hot tub and heated pool. The bar and grill was chaotic, a bit understaffed, and mediocre in quality, but we needed a drink and something to eat after our flight-and they provided! Room was clean and in good shape, location is great! For the price we would certainly return.
