Won't stay here again

Check-in was ok. She didn't tell us about parking. The 2nd day I asked about parking & the gentleman was nice & gave me the information. I didn't like that parking is not included in the total. It was $30+tax additional a night on site. The 1st night around 11:05pm, I called to let them know the TV wasn't working, they told me they'd send someone. I called back around 11:25pm to ask if they were still coming by to fix the TV & the guy said he would message the engineer again. At 11:58pm, I called again and a different person (shift change) told me that the engineers leave at 11:30pm and won't be back until morning. Finally, the next day we had a nice guy come help us with the TV to get it working. The bed (king size) pillows and A/C were amazing! It was weird that the door to the room had about a 1/2 inch gap from the floor. You could see the light from the hallway coming through and see the shadow of people walking by, and hear the voice of people in the hallway much louder. Checkout day from 8:30am-11:45am every 5-10 mins a door slams loud. Found out it was the cleaning lady down the hallway cleaning rooms/letting door slam. NO sleeping in on weekends. Last day, we needed a cart, front desk guy only pointed to where they "should" be. We went to breakfast & noticed a cart in the parking lot. We told the front desk where it was, all he did was motion with shoulder, like "OH", a few hours later the cart is still outside. NOT good customer service from that guy.

There was not a disclosure before I booked that it was being renovated. There were no vending or ice machines, no bar or food service unless you walked over to TGIFridays. There were also sugar ants in my room. They did try to help and sent housekeeping up to do a full cleaning however, the ants came back. The day I checked in the staff was great. The day I left, it was not. She had wrong information and when another guest tried to hand her an ice bucket, she literally said she deal with that and refused to take it. I took it to my room.

The hotel was under construction, so everything was dirty and materials everywhere. The exit gates were hit and miss whether they’d work. The bathroom was dirty and the door wouldn’t shut. The room was humid. We got stuck in the parking lot because construction had half the lot blocked and the gate wouldn’t work. The workout room was in disrepair and only one of four machines worked. The pool and pool are were dirty. Expect to pay for parking since you’re close to Universal. We will not be staying here again.

The hotel is undergoing renovations but it’s really inconvenient and does not provide proper instructions as to where to park or how to access front desk through all the construction. It’s dusty, hallways are not clean. Room was not ready when we arrived, it was 3:50pm because they had not serviced the rooms yet. however when we were checking out, a housekeeper knocked on the door at 9:25am asking if she could clean. Probably won’t stay here again. I’ll pay extra to stay somewhere else.

Very frustrating stay

The hotel was a nightmare to stay in. It’s under construction which I understand and is fine but it made everything very difficult. The parking was ridiculous because the app they use wasn’t working properly. The rooms are pretty outdated, but overall with cleanliness OK. The breakfast was very overpriced and the overall experience was very frustrating. I will not be staying here again. There are many other hotels in the same price range that have many more updates and amenities.
