This hotel is almost 2 miles to Universal Studios, not really safe to walk. Free shuttle to Universal doesn't leave until 10:30am, an hour an a half after the park opens, the I drive trolley does not go to Universal, the city bus was a happy medium. We were told upon check-in that we were invited to a pool party on Sunday. It was not at all family friendly as there were many scantily dressed people, drinking and hanging out in the hallways. They were not guests of the hotel and there appeared to be a cover charge. My son and I did not feel safe. If this event occurs every weekend, the hotel should warn families that it is not appropriate for young children. The music was so loud that we had to leave the hotel for several hours until the event ended as we could not hear the TV sitting right in front of it and the walls and windows were shaking. The party did end at 10pm as promised, but the police presence was kinda frighteneing for my child. The rest of the stay was fine, staff was nice and gift shop was not overly priced and was well stocked with everything travelers might need. There is a lot to do on I-Drive, plenty of places to eat and shop that you can walk to or take the trolley to, but I would have chosen a different hotel if I was advised of the nature of the pool party ahead of time.

It was NOT clean and I'd have surely preferred it were. That said, the staff was polite and cooperative. They were also knowledgeable. The location was perfect for my agenda. The room had all the basic parts and the price could not be beat!

Well lets see, the Shower leaked and made noise all night. Our comforter had big holes in it. The floor was dirty and needed vacuumed. The shower had stains all in it. Other than these things it was alright. The service was good. Location was great. Looked like they were remodeling the rooms on the floor we stayed and needed to remodel the room we stayed in.

The price end up being the price of the 3 1/2" stars next door hotel, common areas were not mainted, (dirty) Bath tubs don't drain, it happen to 3 out the 4 rooms we rented. To top it all of people at front desk were not freindly. The only good thing about was a clean bed!!

The staff was friendly, but there just was not enough staff on duty. Two nights in a row my husband had to go down to the front desk to get towels for our room. We only stayed for two nights. He had to go down to get the towels due to there was not enough staff on duty to bring to towels to us. The location was great. This hotle was in the middle of everything.

We paid very little for this hotel, it had a great location, right off I4, very close to everything, but still very quiet. Pool was nice, small pond on site was nice also. However the "continental breakfast" consisted of 2 kinds of donuts and 2 kinds of cereal, juice and coffee. Not very much variety, and towards when it closed there really wasn't much, but yet I saw the two women who were supposed to be stocking it come out take 2 of the dwindling donuts and eat them in the back! Only one ice machine worked out of 3, and 1 out of 3 elevators were broke. However the first room we were given was unacceptable to us to stay in, and the did graciously agree to switch us to a less decreped room. For what we paid we were content, had we paid anymore we would have been dissappointed.

we weekend in orlando on the average of once a month, we only use the hotel for sleeping and spend the rest of the day on the go, price is a big consideration and at 30 bucks is was great and right next to the parks and even had breakfast it might only have been cereal, fruit, donuts and coffee or milk, but thats all you need is a light breakfast then onto the parks, room was what i expected for 30 dollars, would stay there again.

Amazingly close to Universal and all good restaurants. Inexpensive, clean. Nothing fancy. Ice machine was broken and so was our A/C! Luckily it was cool enough outside to not have to worry about it.
