Nice comfortable room with a separate living. Well furnished and updated. Hotel staff were very accommodating after our initial flight was cancelled due to snow they allowed us to change our non refundable reservations to the new dates (2 days later) and didn’t charge us any extra fees. Very convenient to Islands of adventure, and universal studios with free shuttle to those parks. They however do not have a shuttle to take youto take you to Epic whicdisappointing

I enjoyed my stay immensely. A nice relaxing time. Wonderful pool area. The hot tub could have been a little larger, or perhaps a second one as they were very crowded, but that's a minor thing. I was put off by the bar prices. One expects inflated prices at a resort hotel, but when one shot of Bourbon costs when an entire bottle can be purchased for you're getting a little ridiculous. Nevertheless, it's a resort hotel, and I guess they're all like this in Orlando.

Very nice hotel. The rooms were very clean on arrival and it is very close to Universal Studios. I would've given them 5 stars but they never cleaned our room. We kept waiting and they never came. A pamphlet said they clean every 3 days and then another paper said you have to request them to come and clean. Not a big deal but just a little weird to us.

Good place to stay for the price. It’s a motel. Book a room with these expectations. Positives - restaurant on site, right across from universal. Uber will be $10 in the morning and $20 at night coming back from the universal. Staff is courteous. Safe area to stay with the family. Clean rooms. Free Shuttle at 8 am to universal Room for improvement- does not offer room service unless asked for it so you have to go ask for everything. No complimentary breakfast. The cafe is okay - expensive for the items they provide.

Room was damp and musty, Shower fixtures were loose and rattled against the tile, tile was installed very poorly, road noise from the interstate was so loud it was hard to sleep. Broken towel holders and everything seems to have a stickiness about all the surfaces. I primarily used the room to sleep and shower, but if i had to stay longer and work from my room I would have requested another room or changed stay locations. price was good but maybe this is the reason for the reasonable rate.
