Great place for foreign guests

My friend from Canada and I had a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Orlando specially meeting with our other friend and seeing/meeting his family who came all the way from France. It was a very memorable and time worthy reunion or sorts after not seeing each other for 14 years! I just hoped the hotel had a bigger dining area though... otherwise the experience was all good.

Great trip

Breakfast was great. Small dining room though. Staff was attentive and courteous. [...], the ticket vendor, was a great help. Offered some discounts, did not have enough tickets on ocasions. Room offered amenities necesary. Parking area was ample. Lots of things within walking distance.

Not the best

The room was on the end right next to the highway, and a bright light was shining towards my window and the curtain didn't fully close. The location was off of International Drive, which made it easy to get to all locations. The room was small and looked worn.

The worst trip

Hotel is not a 3 stars hotel. It's almost a motel. I left the hotel in the same day and I went to another place. I also paid for the new hotel.

Great location, great breakfast.

The hotel is located in a great place on International drive and is close to all the famous atractions and great resteraunts. The price is so reasonable and the breakfast is super. If someone is extremely particular about cleaning, then the carpet may not meet the requirement. But after all, we are very happy.

The hard facts!

My family of 3 (husband, myself and toddler) enjoyed our vacation, but found this hotel to be quite unsatisfing. After just checking in and settling into the hotel (12mid), we found a cockroach in the room. They immediately changed our rooms. However, the mildew smell in our room was quite overpowering. The room was old, sheets were old, tv did not have good reception at all!!! The best part was the breakfast and location. The location was great to go to to disney and the i drive. We even drove to Busch Gardens, which did not take long at all. The free breakfast was also nice. The last thing I recommend for this hotel is to spend a little money, since you are making sooo much, and fix up the rooms!

You almost get your money's worth...

I really wish I had gotten a hotel with shuttle service to Universal Studios. I drove to the parks 4 times and paid 13 bucks for parking each day. One night I stayed until the park closed, it took more than 2 hours to make it to the hotel which was only like a mile away. What a nightmare traffic is. I do feel the hotel was clean enough, the staff was really nice and the free breakfast was good and unlimited. The carpets scared me a little, very old and worn. If you can't afford to spend a lot on hotels and don't mind driving and paying for parking then the Ramada is a good choice.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

If you can at all afford it stay at the onsite hotels. The hotel room key is a VIP pass with UNLIMITED bypass privilages at Universal theme parks. You can pay 39-40 something bucks to skip the line on each ride ONE TIME or you can pay for a really nice hotel and get on every ride, all day, as many times as you like without ever waiting more than 15 minutes. I will next time.
