Billy

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was unwelcoming, robotic, felt like they were reading full a script, never made eye contact. Room was horrible. AC/HEAT was broken, shower knobs and handles were broken, missing, which made it extremely difficult to tu red n on, off and adjust. Bed was hard, very uncomfortable to sleep on. Room was EXTREMELY noisy being right beside the icemaker and elevators, constant traffic back & forth and doors slamming. Breakfast was ok. We won’t use this establishment for any of our future trips to Orlando and Universal Studios area. Recommend avoiding!

The Hotel was nice and it was a decent stay, there were a few minor complaints that I had. The rooms were conjoined so there was a lot of noise that could be heard from the other room. Also we could hear the ice maker every time it was being used. Other than the walls/doors not being thicker or noise proofed it was a good stay.

Staff was great. Room was in rough shape. Shower curtain was ripped at the top and the angled shape of the rod caused the curtain to not close all the way, leaking water out and soaking the floor. We did not have a remote and the replacement one they brought was filthy and the volume button didn't work. Not enough accessible outlets and one outlet didn't always work. We had four people in our party, yet only three towels were in the bathroom, so we had to call the front desk to request another towel. Couch arm had a rip, stains on the carpet, and just an overall run down appearance in our room.
