The man at the desk was very nice and the hotel was clean-ish. The hotel didn’t even have a name sign on the front but the hotel was very moldy and musty. There was no way we could stay there. We got our money back and went elsewhere.

We had a late flight into MCO and did not arrive at the hotel until around 10:45 pm. We got a great deal on the hotel, so I did not expect it to be anything immaculate. We really only needed it for a place to sleep anyway, since we were going to disney. When we arrived the staff was great. Got to the room saw the bathroom wasn't really impressed with the shower. But thought hey it'll be fine. When I pulled back the sheets on one of the beds, you could tell that it had not been cleaned. We saw multiple pieces of hair within the sheets. But the worst thing was that we did see bed bugs and I also saw at least 4 blood stains on the sheets. It made me feel so uncomfortable that we checked out within an hour of being there and then had to find new lodging at midnight.

I do not for the life of me know why this hotel got an 8.2/10.
Unless you don't mind the furniture that looks like it came from the 1950's and got lit on fire.
The shower had no water pressure and the top sprayer part wasn't spraying water. The middle section looked like there was mold and itbwas so outdated. The outside of thr shower looked like mold around the botto of the door and the floor. The toilet was so close to the floor that everytime i went to use it I was surprised i kept going down and didnt land on the floor. The newest things in the room were the mattresses and bedding.
They only served coffee in the lounge area. So no continental breakfast.
So again why does this place rate at 8.2/10?
I would not book here again.

So, I am a local, and decided to get a
Room for my friend and I because my home was being deep cleaned. When checking in, apparently the hotel doesn’t allow local to get rooms but how would I know this. Had to get the manager and he as super kind and told me this. Because my friend was out of town we stayed. The bathroom was super tiny. The shower head was old and didn’t look like it was clean in a long time. And the pressure was bad. The lights were all different colors and some flickered when turning on. A lot of the furniture was very old. The bed was very comfy but kinda wish there was better comforter and now thin sheets or thin blanket. But it was for two nights just to rest our head.

I am not sure how this property received an 8.2. When I pulled up, I wasn’t even sure if I was at the right place or that it was even open. It was grown-up and there was no signage and a few scattered cars in the parking lot. Initially the room looked clean enough, but there were several areas where it didn’t look vacuumed. Some yucky black stuff hanging off the shower door and then there was the blood stains. We got in late so I did not notice the blood stains until the next morning in the sunlight. Several stains on the pillow and on the sheets as if someone have been bleeding on their face. I went down that morning and asked for the sheets to be changed only to come back late again and noticethe blood stains still there. They simply came in and remade the bed. When I went down again and told them the next morning, they did change the sheets that day. One thing that concerned me was the fact that the blood stains on the pillow case and sheets matched, which tells me they simply washed those sheets and put them back on. The reason why that concerns me is it shows that no one is staying at this hotel. Normally all of the sheets would be put together and the likelihood of the pillowcases and sheet matching up exactly is highly unlikely. Truth is I can’t even guarantee that the blood was not fresh and maybe was never even laundered.

The room we had was musty smelling which made the sheets smell and feel damp. The room was super old and definitely needed paint and a new shower. I do have to say the bed and pillows were comfortable but I was worried about bed bugs since it was so musty inside the room. There was one employee at check in and he barely said anything except ask for card and drivers license. The girl at checkout did not say 2 words when I handed her the keys. I would not stay here again. The price was great but I would pay $20 more a night to stay in a newer hotel.

This property is showing its age. The taps have hard water build up & the shower stall is small & dated. Carpet should be removed. Bed was clean & thankfully bed bug free. Free parking was great. I didn't have time to check out the pool. McDonald's is across from the parking lot of the hotel, so you can take a few minutes to walk there if needed. 7-11 is there too which makes it easy to fill your rental car before returning to the airport. The place was quiet during my stay. They have 24/7 front desk support which is nice if arriving later. Upgrades are needed, but it was a fine place to stay & I felt safe there.

I could tell the room was dirty by the feeling in the air when we walked in, especially the shower. The A/C helped mask this to some extent. There was an inch of dust on the tops of the furniture. Bathroom had what I believed to be mold. I did see a lady with several spray bottles so i know they clean to some extent, but the rooms are probably too used. Also, there are absolutely zero amenities besides the location. We wanted this to be our go-to hotel after our good experience last year, but we won't stay here again. And no, there won't be comments from the front desk because we did not tell them anything. They are already aware.

If they would told us from the bugging room were clean on daily basis then we will be a different story. We find lot of mold on the shower knots of the shower. Defenitly not a good experience.

I Have stayed here a few times before. I was a little disappointed this time around. My first impression when I walked into the room was the carpet was terribly stained and in dyer need of a replacement. No clock in the room. There was also no coffee maker. (I brought my own in case of emergency) and they did supply complimentary coffee for my own coffee maker. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The bed was comfortable. Good shower pressure with plenty of hot water. Rooms are small, but I knew that going in. There were 2 uncomfortable chairs. A more comfortable office chair would have been nice. Wi-Fi was always good. Air conditioning good.

Check in was easy but this place needs a serious upgrade. The elevator jumps bad, the carpet had a light smell, the microwave looks like something that was found in the trash, the little fridge made so much noise, the toilet constantly ran, the bathroom door slides open and shut and wakes the room up it's so noisy. My room had to be switched at 2am when I woke my son up to use the bathroom and we saw 2 roaches. The front desk just said o we can switch your room. The new room had no microwave, the light kept flickering, the toilet water kept running ending up checking out after 1 night and still had 2 more nights. Went to front desk and asked to speak with a manager because I wanted to check out earlier due to the conditions of the hotel he wouldn't even come speak with me the woman just said there are no refunds. No one even apologized like this is a common complaint

Dirty, smelled bad and outdated. We have stayed there three times. The first two were ok, the rooms are older but it’s affordable and we like the location. This time, there was mold and it smelled terrible. The lobby was musty but our room had a strong mold odor. We didn’t make a fuss because we were only sleeping there. My husband and I both left with sore throats and congestion. The shower and toilet were dirty and the fixtures were tarnished and rusty. It’s about 20 minutes from the parks but we like the area. This will be our last stay though. The good stuff about it does not outweigh the bad.

As a solo female traveler, this location would not be highly recommended by me. It appeared to be an older property that needs some TLC and updating. I guess I had expected something more from the photos. I only interacted with the night clerk when I checked in and he was nice.

My room had a lingering, urine-like smell, but I was so tired from traveling that I didn't ask to change rooms. The a/c worked fairly well, bed was comfortable, and the water in the shower was hot. For a single night stay, it was sufficient, but I will book elsewhere if I am in the area again.

So like I didn’t even get to stay, because apparently you have to be 21 and maybe I’m slow but it don’t say that on the site, and check in is at 3pm and when I bought it online it was 3am but it didn’t tell me until after it took the $77 and sent me the email. I think maybe they should confirm your 21 fist before allowing you to buy online, would have saved me so much money and a headache of sleeping in the car.

For the price, it is very good. The AC was fairly quiet and effective.Let me tell you, this place was impressively clean — spotless in a way you don’t see very often. You walk in and immediately notice how well everything is taken care of. The staff? Fantastic people, incredibly attentive, and they make you feel like you’re the most important guest in the building.

The rooms were a very solid size, plenty of space to relax without feeling cramped. And the bed — unbelievably soft. The kind of soft where you lie down “just for a minute” and suddenly it’s morning. Truly excellent.

Overall, a strong stay. Clean place, great people, comfortable rooms. Hard to beat.

Cheap place to stay while visiting the parks, but let’s just say it has character. The outside looks pretty rundown, and the single elevator feels like a gamble every time you step in. Getting off onto the hallway? Hit with a smell that may or may not remind you of cockroaches (don’t ask how I know that lol).

That said, the staff was super nice, and the room itself was decent—not the best but, clean enough to crash especially after spending all day in the parks, there were some questionable dirty spots on the bathroom door frame, and the shower got nice and hot, which was a win. I may or may not stay here again,… but hey, you definitely get what you pay for.

Using navigation to find the place was a little frustrating because it kept taking us to a parking lot across the street from the hotel (not the hotels fault). The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. The location was perfect for where we needed to be. You could drive any to any of the disney parks within 10-15 minutes. They do not come to replenish the towels/ rags daily. They will give you plenty if you go to the front desk to request them. Our issues were with the room itself. The room we got did not look as good of condition as the pictures looked. It also looked smaller than what the picture portrayed. The room smelled musty. The shower is our biggest complaint. There was black mold all over the shower head(s). In the corners where the shower door hinge and open and close, looked like it gets neglected when getting cleaned. There was not really any place to put your shower items (shampoo, conditioner, razor). The beds were clean and comfortable.

The room had a strange smell especially when the AC wasn’t on. I think they should just get the carpet out. Also while every 2 days there’s housekeeping the cleaning is not thorough.
