Everything on the property is pretty expensive, especially they’re restaurants. The rooms were clean and spacious with full working kitchen, and a nice porch that has is enclosed with screening. I didnt really see many staff and the one or two i did interact with werent very helpful. I did not have any issues with being offered timeshare from the property, which i read about. I would recommend staying here

Westgate is centrally located but the company does everything and anything to sell you timeshare. I would not stay again here for that reason, you feel too harassed and pressured. Otherwise nice view but they need to work on cleanliness and customer service

Enjoyed our stay and liked the free shuttle to the theme parks. Wish there was more parking on the premises. Overall a good trip!

Not close to restaurants to walk too! Shuttle only took you if u had park tickets or take a cab or Uber. Hall the time Uber didn’t or couldn’t find us then charged us.

Beautiful place to stay. A little expensive but there are local stores nearby. Our room was smaller then expected, but for the short time we stayed it was sufficient. We would stay again with a larger room and rental car.

I didn't realize the staff was going to hound me about buying into a timeshare. The first morning they called and woke me up, said I had a package at the front desk that required my signature. That was just a way to get me to the lobby. That night I had an invitation on my door for a timeshare info meeting the next morning. The 2nd morning they called and woke me again. Thankfully they left me alone for the remaining 2 days.

Buena la localidad del hotel el area muy limpia, la habitación olia a sigarillo de entrada

very clean, staff was friendly, Drafts is way over priced very limited parking

I wish it had been made clear this was a timeshare. Don’t check in on Friday night! We stood in line for an hour. In general, very poor customer service. The property and pools were clean and beautiful. The room was wonderful and we loved having a full kitchen.

Staff little pushy on selling time share... but facilities are good condition

It has everything within its gates. That's the good and the bad. There's never enough time to do all the activities.

The room was far from the pool areas. The staff wasn’t too helpful. We were stuck in an elevator. Traveling with children so it was all difficult. They were more concerned about selling the property than helping those just for a visit.

Check in process was unacceptable. After a long day of travel, to have to wait due to not enough staff at check in and the staff that was available constantly walking away during the check in process was very aggravating. They would disappear for periods of time leaving no one at the counter to help anyone. Everyone in line with us shared the same discontent.

The rooms are very spacious. The beds are very comfortable. The property is clean and updated. I would recommend!

We enjoyed the whole experience, great location, with a true family theme. You could spend your entire vacation there without leaving the resort. Plenty of things to do,also liked the bar Drafts.

The shuttle services weren’t that great. There were no hammocks, or hot tubs. Beautiful views though.

The customer service was amazing! The lady at the front desk was nice enough to accommodate us with a room closer to the front of the complex. The on-site bar and grill (Drafts) was a little slow, but everything else was an amazing experience :). Very conveniently located!

The location of this property was great but keep in mind, it's a time share place - so unless you're interested in taking the full tour - you won't get the best service. Also, the food options at this resort were less than average.

Everything was AMAZING! Especially staff members!!!!!

I booked this resort thinking it was a nice place for our last 2 days in Orlando. we stayed in a studio suite. It says it was closest hotel to universal, not sure if that is accurate. The room was very worn out. Carpet was dirty and black, bathroom shower doors and mirrors were all cracked. Overall it's not worth staying and spending your money there. The property is very big and had lots of stuff to do but if you are looking for a clean hotel, this is not it. Our room was not serviced after coming back from the park and they turned the water off without informing guests due to maintenance for about 1/2 hour right in the morning when we needed to get out the door. They really need to update this whole property with new renos. I would not recommend nor go back to this resort.
