My mother, sister, and I stayed at this hotel during our visit to Universal Studios in mid-May. The hotel was very clean, close to the attractions, and the staff was very nice and helpful. Our room was a little on the smaller size, but certainly not anything unexpected for the price of the room. The beds were a little stiff,... More

Pictures and reviews for this hotel are deceiving....with no disrespect to the positive reviews, do you people travel very much? The only positive for this location is its location to Universal Studios. Small, smelly rooms. I wouldn't stay at this hotel again if they gave me free night..I'm just tired and will only be here for a few hours or... More

We apologize if the room was not up to your expectations. We would have been happy to change your reservation to a suite, which is larger than our standard room and would have given you more room to enjoy the stay. Have a good day. More

We booked this suite based on some other reviews, and proximity to Universal Studios, Orlando. When we arrived, we found the facility to be fresh appearing, clean and the staff was great. Our "Suite" was studio type and not larger than an average room, but certainly adequate. Each morning of our stay, the main breakfast entree was different. The choice... More
