Positive Reviews
positive:
Convenient access to everything
There is an ample choice of restaurant within walking distance as well as a couple of drug stores, where guests can do some light shopping and stock up on snacks. The hotel is located right next to Wet n' Wild and SkyVenture Orlando as well as an I-Ride stop, which makes for an easy commute to downtown and the rest of Orlando. Those guests not wanting to deal with public transportation can also make use of the free shuttle service provided by the hotel, which takes guests directly to the Universal Studios theme park.
positive:
Basic amenities are a good value
Guests found the value of the hotel to be quite adequate, as they considered the property and room amenities to be decent. After all, the hotel features a small gym, a pool, an elevator, ATM, ticket desk and luggage storage. Guests thought that the in-room options, which included a large TV, toiletries and, for a small fee, a microwave and small refrigerator, were also acceptable.
positive:
Free Wi-Fi that works
The fact that Wi-Fi is provided free of charge is great, but guests particularly pointed out that its speed is quite fast and the signal reliable.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Lobby not inviting
Guests reported that upon first entering the lobby, they immediately noted the dark and uninviting atmosphere and upon closer inspection, they also noticed live and dead bugs as well as a musty odor.
negative:
Rooms not very pleasant either
While the firmness of one's mattress is a personal preference, many guests noted that the spring mattresses were too hard and uncomfortable. Several guests also reported dirty floors in need of vacuuming and replacing, scratched and dented furniture, broken light fixtures and moldy bathtubs.
negative:
Staff not perfect.
Guests reported the staff to be not welcoming, uncaring and slow at times.
