The staff overall was wonderful. They try really hard to make your stay comfortable. They held our luggage for almost the entire day while we went to Universal. Everything was right where we left it. The hotel is older, more of a motel, but was kept clean. The pool was fantastic! I would stay here just for the wonderful pool. Now for the couple of things I was a little disappointed with. On the door the gym is listed as opening at 6 AM. I set my alarm nice and early and headed over to the gym. Unfortunately, it was locked. I went up to the front desk and was told it doesn’t open until 8 AM. I basically begged and begged and he said there was nothing he could do. I came across another staff member who was wonderful enough to open the gym for me. The gym was barely air conditioned, and all the equipment is super old. The bike was missing all the knobs needed to adjust the seat and one of the pedal cages. It had all the basic weight and a couple of treadmills. That is probably the one part I was most disappointed in. They have a really nice Indian restaurant that has Thai food as well. We were so excited to go eat there, but Unfortunately, it closes between lunch and dinner. The little café inside the hotel is quite convenient and nice. The prices aren’t bad either. Overall great stay here. Very happy and would stay here again due to the excellent pricing.
