The property overall was good. Easy to find and access, multiple dining options around the hotel, it has a small fenced in pool for a quick dip. The staff are pleasant and kind, the evening desk attendant always greeted us. Our room was decent. Spacious, comfortable bed with clean linens. Our shower had some cracked tiles, and the shower head faucet leaked a lot, but it did the job! Despite the leaking, the pressure was still good, and temperature adjustable to desired heat.

Maybe look elsewhere

Not the cleanest hotel I’ve stayed at. Sheets had some stains in them. I’m sure they were cleaned however it might be time to upgrade. Bathroom tile was broken and missing in places. There was an odor in the lobby by the elevator that was concerning. Don’t bank on having a quality breakfast there. It was limited and not very appealing. The location was great however, I’ll spend a little more next time for a more quality resort.

It was Ok

This was a great budget friendly option for staying near Universal. This is an older hotel. No frills. We were there long enough to shower and sleep each night. This is not the Disney resort experience. The bathroom was not the cleanest, but we cleaned it and moved along. The breakfast was great. The hotel offers a shuttle to Universal. Would stay here again if on a budget.

My room door was so hard to open i had to use my whole body to push with my legs - room 104. Breakfast options were very poor/limited. Juice machines out of order. Ice was all way at other end of hall. Plugs in room, only one worked. No microwave, hot fridge, no cups or coffee amenities, no ice bucket, but had a kerieg machine. Very poorly snack area out of almost everything in cooler and shelves, office area computers out of service.

This is a great budget hotel for visiting Universal Studios in Orlando. With breakfast included and a shuttle to Universal Studios it met our needs. It was clean and the staff were helpful. As a Canadian, I no longer feel welcome in the USA so I will not be returning, but I do recommend this hotel for those visiting Universal Studios in Orlando.

A close by stay hotel to Universal and Islands

This hotel did not offer anything grand. What I did like is that it is walking distance from Universal Studios and Island's of Adventure theme parks. It offers a FREE shuttle ride to these themes in the early morning and in the early pm as well. It serves It's purpose if your days are spent at the theme parks.
