Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has large and comfortable rooms but falls short in cleanliness, especially under the beds and in the lobby. Several amenities like WiFi, TV, and water temperature were not satisfactory. On the positive side, the staff empowers employees to handle issues efficiently.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there were some issues with noise and temperature control. The staff provided good service, especially the front desk clerk who went above and beyond. The location was excellent, convenient to attractions and dining options, but cleanliness in the rooms could have been better. The dining options were a bit average, could have been more varied and nutritious. The facilities overall were adequate, with some room for improvement.
The hotel's rooms were large and comfortable but could have been cleaner, with some unpleasant findings like a dead lizard and roaches. The service was a mix of impressive and unprofessional encounters. The location was convenient for visits to nearby attractions, with some minor inconveniences.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. The room was of decent size but not as clean as expected, with dust and dirt on the floor. The front desk reception was disappointing, and the actual rooms looked nothing like the pictures on the website. However, the location was convenient as it was close to the parks and offered a shuttle service. The dining experience left much to be desired, with limited breakfast options.
The hotel's location was really great, close to a lot of restaurants and key attractions like Universal Orlando and ICON Park, with wonderful staff. However, the rooms were spacious but antiquated with an unpleasant odor and not thoroughly clean. Service was unprofessional and lacking responsiveness, and the dining experience was average.
The hotel is perfect for a quiet stay with family or friends, despite some cleaning issues and bugs around. The location is superb, very close to Universal Studios, with friendly staff and a good-sized pool. However, the service fell short with mishandled reservations and a lack of goodwill gestures. The dining options were poor, except for hardworking staff replenishing basic breakfast items diligently.
The location of the hotel is excellent for accessing Universal Studios and nearby dining options, but the rooms were filthy and the air conditioning did not work well. Service was subpar with staff focused on personal matters. Despite these setbacks, the convenient location was a highlight for walking to nearby attractions, though it lacked some expected amenities.
The hotel is located in a great area, near restaurants and shops. While the rooms were small and overlooked noisy AC units, the breakfast included was simple but decent. The staff service, unfortunately, left much to be desired with some cleanliness issues noted.
