The location was lovely and away from all the noise. I didn't go to the pool, but I really wanted to! It looked gorgeous. Unfortunately the sheets and pillows had a ton of stains, and the pillows looked almost moldy under the pillowcases. I got a great deal, so I can't be too upset, but if I had paid the typical price, I would have been really aggravated. Something to keep in mind! Otherwise, it was great.

My family and I booked a two-night stay at this hotel in mid-May 2026. We checked in around 3:00 PM, and while the property was already disappointing in terms of cleanliness and overall condition, the worst was yet to come. By approximately 11:00 PM that night, both my children and I were being repeatedly bitten by bugs. I stripped the bedding and inspected the mattresses. What I found was absolutely unacceptable. The mattresses were filthy, and the room itself was in a condition that should never be offered to paying guests. I immediately went to the front desk and reported the issue. The guy at the front desk was awful. Although we were moved to a different room, the damage had already been done. We had planned to spend the next day enjoying activities in Orlando, but after a sleepless night of scratching and discomfort, we decided to cut our vacation short, pack our belongings, and leave a full day early. Once we returned home, I spent hundreds of dollars laundering clothing and other belongings out of fear of bringing bed bugs into our home. We’ve had to discard items that could not be safely cleaned or treated. What should have been a fun family vacation turned into a stressful and expensive nightmare. Between the unsanitary conditions, the bed bug infestation, the lost vacation time, and the additional expenses incurred afterward, this was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. I would strongly recommend choosing another hotel if you're visiting the Orlando area.

The hotel is in very bad shape. It is falling apart, everything in the room is stained, rusty, or missing pieces; even the hair dryer was half melted ( the plastic). The smell to extreme old property mixed with humidity and old carpets are unpleasant. I'm not like to give bad reviews but in this case I have to, I don't understand where or when came some reviews that I read before make the reservation but is nothing like the picture. Even the pool was green. The only thing good was the staff...and the tv ( that works ok). The days of Glory the it should had have are way gone.

We gave this hotel a try because the pictures made it look nice and clean. It was definitely not like the pictures, very deceiving. Unfortunately very outdated, not clean, and smelled like weed in the hall and in the room. We are frequent travelers and for the first time ever in my life I checked in and checked out less than 1hr later. Still waiting on an approval for refund.

It is a very old building with poor maintenance. The bathroom or rather the whole hotel had an odd smell. The towels were dirty. Cloth material for the bath curtain which was very unsanitary cause I don’t think those were ever cleaned. The toilet had no cover. There was mold inside it which I didn’t know until my toddler pointed it out. There were hairs on the chair like somebody had a haircut on it. The fridge was old and did not keep my drinks cold enough. The microwave was downstairs in the lobby where the ice machine is which was also very dirty like it was never used or maintained. The breakfast was ok and the staff was friendly. The pool outside was probably the only nice looking part of the hotel and my kids loved. It was a good pool for toddlers to play in if they don’t know how to swim they can play in the front of the pool where it’s shallow. There was also a hot tub.

The hotel looks rundown it smells. The rooms are not super clean. The staff was not helpful. The front desk offered a buffet for nine for $10 a day per person. It was just eggs, bacon, stale pancakes, hard waffles, coffee, orange juice that is it that was the buffet menu for the entire state. I could’ve gotten a doughnut for less than $10. You have to ask for an iron because my room didn’t have an iron at the front desk. The towels are for kid size. They only give you one per person super cheap quality towels. I didn’t even bother to go into the pool super super disgusted with the hotel. I could’ve done better. This is not a seven star eight star that Expedia had rated to me. It is a one star.

The property’s actual condition was significantly different from the photos provided in the listing, which I find misleading. This cost me $300 extra out of my budget to find a new hotel. During the check in I was not feeling safe there either. When I was doing check in, at midnight, the person in front desk was taking too long even to give me my id back and do the check in, and was speaking in another language with another male employee, which I found it very disrespectful because both speak English and I was by myself; this situation make me feel uncomfortable. The carpet I’m and lobby and in the room had the carpet stained and dirty same as the towels in the bathroom. The room was also smelly as well as the hotel. I did check out a couple on min after and the hotel did not wanted to refund at least one night. I am disappointed with the hotel's decision to decline the refund. Do not recommend it.

Weve stayed here before and had a wonderful experience 4+ day stay.This last time was a 1 night trip. Carts that were available are broken (wheels popped) rendering them inoperable unless your planning on hurting yourself. The morning of check out we asked for late check out and were told we could stay til 12 free. At 10:45 am my husband took our stuff to the car leaving my daughter and I alone. I had just gotten out of the shower and was completely nude when my room door suddenly opens no knock no \"housekeeping\" alert the worker just let themselfs in and then ran out of the room realizing we were still in there. I have no idea if this was a woman or man employee. When calling the front desk the only thing offered was check out for 3pm free. At that point I didnt feel safe anymore and just wanted to leave. No refund no apology no call or email from the manager like we were told we would recieve just told that \"Gladys may have gotten the rooms confused\". Which I can totally understand if someone had atleast knocked or made themselves known before entering my room. We were planning on making this our go to hotel since its so quiet but after this experience I would recommend staying far away.

Pool and hot tub were fine and only a few people used them. Cleaning staff were very accomodating and the locatiin was close to Seaworld, Epic Universe, Duacovery Cove. However, security is an issue because you park behind the building in a secluded lot and anyone can enter the building and pool area without a keycard. Front desk staff stand behind a glass divider and parking pass has a warning about leaving things in your car and theres no security presence. Hotel's a large building with very few people.

The room seemed although they have not deep cleaned, or even just throughly cleaned the rooms. I had to immediately call down upon checking it because my bathroom was gross and appeared uncleaned. Instead of assigning me to a new room, they had housekeeping come clean the toilet immediately. The carpets were gross, and risen from the floor. The furniture (end tables, desk etc) were visibly not wiped down properly (or at all). The fridge did not work- it was running loudly & not cold at all. Unfortunately I didn’t have the option to wait for a refund (10 business days) and go book another hotel. I was very disappointed and grossed out. I even teared up at the situation I felt stuck in. They also seemed short staff. This gave motel vibes when in the room. The pool however was beautiful and was the only positive thing. I cannot believe they run the hotel this way.

Rooms and property in general have always been clean (gives old florida vibes which I love) and the pool area is always beautiful and ready to enjoy. Quiet, Relaxing, Family friendly with spacious rooms and just an overall amazing experience.

As soon as we reached the third floor, the smell of cigarettes was overwhelming. From room 315 all the way down to 327, the entire hallway smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I even had to place a towel under our door especially at night because the odor would drift into our room.

I was traveling with my 7-year-old daughter, and she literally had to cover her nose every time we walked through the hallway. This was especially disappointing because at check-in, the no-smoking policy was emphasized and enforced, which I appreciated. However, the third floor consistently smelled like cigarette smoke everyday of our stay.

I do want to mention that the staff member we interacted with was great. The hotel room was clean but the condition of the floor made the stay uncomfortable and disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to review this feedback.

Advantages of this hotel include its close proximity to Universal Orlando, a safe and quiet environment, and competitive pricing. The pool area is also well-maintained. However, the website's promotional images do not accurately reflect the current condition of the rooms, which appear to be in need of updating. Furthermore, cleanliness was a significant concern, with dirty carpets, bathroom floors, and elevator floors observed, alongside a pervasive strong odor throughout the premises. The mattresses were also notably firm.

We were unable to stay at this hotel due to the state of the property. There was a heavy mildew smell. My husband went into the bathroom and all the urinals were taped up. The floor molding area had a dark ring around it where there had been overflow and the floors were clearly not cleaned well. The carpets in the lobby were heavily soiled and the smell of incense was intense (I assume to cover the smell of mold). I requested a refund from the property due to the fact that I have asthma and was unable to stay in a moldy environment. They declined to do this even given the situation. There were only 4 cars in the parking lot- which should say something. We booked online unknowingly. They say it is a 3 star hotel. I have stayed in Laquinta's that are more sanitary. DO NOT STAY HERE. The pictures on the website are not what you will walk into.
