Excellent!
I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in early November. It is about 5 minutes by the free shuttle to Universal Studios. The shuttle picks up twice a day and drops off once per day(I think). It is extremely convenient to use. I only went to the breakfast once and never to the managers reception. The breakfast is typical of most hotels. Eggs, english muffins, cereal, etc. I stayed in the one bedroom suite which works out great. Shower was hot, everything in the kitchen worked. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice Hotel
All the employees were very nice, the breakfast was ok, the beds are very comfortable, location was good about 1/2 block from International Drive but there were other hotels directly on I-drive that were less expensive. For this reason only I would not stay here again.

Great for families who want the extra room
The hotel was conveniently located near Universal Studios and International Dr. The hotel is a little older so has the usual wear and tear but overall it was clean and comfortable. Having a suite vs a room gives you that extra room you need for more comfort. Breakfast was great and what a savings if you have a large family. Happy Hour was a pleasant addition also! Will definitely keep this on my list of hotels to stay at again.
