Business Trip in Orlando

The room is very nice and internet is great. They serve a large breakfast, too. But I am one of those people blessed (and cursed) with sensitivity. The walls between rooms are too thin and my room faced a busy highway with endless noise. In short, I slept very poorly.

Great place for a universal trip!

The hotel was clean, the beds super comfy. My son loves staying here for the breakfast, lots of variety (eggs,sausage,biscuit,gravy,pancakes,cereal,yogurt). Free parking, 30 minutes walk to Universal or they have a shuttle (we didn't use the shuttle so can't comment on that).
