I recently stayed at the Cambria Hotel and had a very unsettling experience that was never properly addressed.

When I returned to my room in the evening, I noticed that the first-floor stairwell door had been propped open, which immediately raised safety concerns. Even more alarming, my room door was open even though I made absolutely sure it was closed and secure before leaving earlier that afternoon.

Because I didn’t feel safe entering the room alone, we contacted the front desk. The staff member said he would check the security cameras, but did not allow us to view them or provide any transparency about what he saw. That lack of communication felt suspicious and unhelpful given the seriousness of the situation.

He later mentioned that he would issue new keys, but never followed through or came to our room. No meaningful steps were taken to ensure our safety or give us peace of mind.

As a result, I felt extremely uneasy the entire night and was unable to sleep. This situation could have been handled much better, and I’m disappointed that there was no real effort to resolve it or reassure guests.

I would strongly urge the hotel to take security concerns more seriously and improve how situations like this are handled in the future.

I like Indian food as much as the next guy, but Curry is NOT the smell you want to be overcome by every time you walk into the lobby. The lingering smell turned me off to actually going to Tamara. It might be the same for everyone else because there weren't many patrons.

The AI messaged me and asked if I needed anything. I told it that the shower wand holder was broken and we needed another floor mat in the bathroom because the water was getting between the shower glass. It ignored my request.

The rooftop pool bar seemed to be pretty happening, but the developers/contractors failed to install the proper isolation measures to make sure that the vibrations from the music don't reverberate through the structure. Needless to say, Saturday night was a late one for us.

This hotel was nice and clean and right down from universal studios. It does not have free bfast though and i think its because they have 2 restaurants in the hotel but they are not open for bfast so im not sure why they dont have bfast but thats the only thing i was disappointed but thats my fault for not looking better.

The overall stay at Cambria was a good experience. We were initially greeted by Maria who was welcoming and supportive of our check in. The lobby entrance/floor was clean, inviting, and modern. There is a faint lingering smell from the Indian restuarant, Tamara, in the hotel lobby but it wasn't an overwhelming scent. We also ordered from there one night and we enjoyed our food! The hotel room was spacious and clean. We enjoyed using the amenities including the free shuttle to Universal and the pool. The pool is not heated, fyi, so we mostly just lounged on the rooftop. The wait staff upstairs were helpful. The hotel can do with more regular tidying of the rooftop area though. It wasn't dirty but like cups lingering from previous guests or crumbs left on tables and chairs isn't nice. We also had no issues with parking even at night when many people came to the hotel to enjoy the rooftop lounge. Overall, it was a good stay and minor touch ups would make it perfect.

For some reason you have to get maintenance to turn on the hot water when you want to use it. Had to take a cold shower the first day. They had someone turn on the hot water. But the early morning that we left it was cold again.
Nice place and nice people, but music in the rooftop bar was really loud, and don’t understand the hot water problem.

My stay at Cambria had a few positives, but there are some important things future guests should be aware of.

First, parking is extremely limited. The hotel shares parking with a restaurant, so spaces fill up quickly. Staff advised parking at a nearby business within walking distance, but you have to be back downstairs before 9 AM to move your car, which can be inconvenient.

Second, if you’re looking forward to relaxing by the pool, this may not be the place. When we went on a Saturday morning, there was only one lounge chair available. The pool area on the 6th floor is mostly set up with restaurant-style seating and a bar, leaving very little space to actually lay out and enjoy the pool—especially surprising for a Florida location.

Also, if you’re staying on the 5th floor, be prepared for noise. You can clearly hear music from the rooftop bar on the 6th floor, which went on until around 2 AM over the weekend.

On a positive note, the beds were very comfortable and the shower water pressure was great.

Overall, the space felt overcrowded and a bit overwhelming for the size of the property.

Rooms were clean as we're the rest of the common areas. Our room kept running out of hot water. I booked a balcony room and both the chairs were broken. I called ahead and they were not able to accommodate early check in which was annoying bc my flight was delayed but the other person arrived before me. They didn't even offer ro hold the bags or offer the amenities while he waited for the room so he ended up waiting for me to arrive. If you aren't a fan on Indian food maybe skip the location thr lobby restaurant is not enclosed and the smell wafts. For me not a problem but one should be aware. It was a decent stay overall but I wouldnt stay here again.

One of my main concerns was the parking situation. There doesn’t seem to be enough parking available directly in front of the building, and unfortunately there’s no overnight valet option. When the lot fills up, guests are directed to park at a nearby abandoned music store, which felt a bit uncomfortable and not very secure. I did visit during spring break week, so I understand that may have contributed to the parking being full, but it’s still something to be aware of.

There were 2 things i was not a fan of.
1. my food order from the roof top was missing spring rolls and when i went to get them from the rooftop bar the guy was eating them. He went to the back (had his coworker slide them through the window) and came out with them as if he went to prepare them. I didn’t realize what he did until i got to my room and the kitchen was closed. Highly disappointed in that. 2. The pool was extremely cold and there was no pool warmer to enjoy it. But everything else was actually great. I would love to book gain in the future. The young lady that checked me in was very nice and professional.

The only downside is that it’s not associated with the hotel so you can’t just add things to your room account and at night a reservation is required. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we’d def book again.

Great hotel option near Universal with strong value for the price. The quality of service and overall accommodations were very good, and the staff throughout the property were consistently polite and friendly.

One point of concern is that Expedia advertises this hotel as offering complimentary breakfast, which is inaccurate. While there are three on-site dining options available, none are included in the stay.

Additionally, our experience at the upstairs bar and pool area was less positive. Some staff members were quite strict regarding pool hours and denied my son access during our final evening. Given that it was only 6:00 PM and my son has special needs, a small accommodation—such as allowing an additional 15 minutes—would have been greatly appreciated.

The front desk staff member was very nice. The smell throughout the hotel was a bit much for me, I saw they had a restaurant but I don't believe it was that. We also arrived early and expected to ride the shuttle to Universal and was disappointed to hear it only ran once at 8:45am & 6pm. I also was disappointed in their breakfast option. Overall I would not select this hotel again, as we didn't save money having to provide all the amenities ourselves.

I arrived after check in and the room was still not ready, which made it clear that the cleaning had been rushed. I was very disappointed with the cleanliness. I found random hair on the floor, which made me feel sick to my stomach. The shower was also very dirty, and I ended up purchasing my own cleaning supplies to spray and clean the floor for peace of mind.

The hotel restaurant was also disappointing. Even though I arrived before other guests, I was made to wait and our table was skipped over. Overall, it was a poor experience, and I will not be booking again.

The lobby smells like curry because of the restaurant. It’s overwhelming. The halls smells like air freshener as if they are trying to make sure the curry smell doesn’t carry. The pool is only open until 6pm which is craaaazy. I would not recommend this place for children because of the pool hours and the restaurant menu. The location is the biggest positive. However the shuttle only runs twice a day. Overall it was clean and close to universal so I can’t complain. Wish they would have advertised the pool hour and shuttle service schedule because I would not have picked it.

If you are sensitive to smells, you need to know that the restaurant is open to the lobby. I am sensitive to smells, but thankfully, curry doesn't bother me too much. The food looked delicious, but we were too full from park foods to try it. That being said, the hotel was beautiful and had a great vibe.We didn't get to visit the rooftop pool and bar, but it looked like a good time. Negatives would be the limited parking due to the restaurant and bar visitors. Parking is free though. Also, there is no dresser or drawers for clothing. There is a small closet, but we still had to live out of our suitcases on the floor.

STAY FAR AWAY!!!! Unless you like cockroaches and unprofessional staff.

I woke up in the morning and when I went to the bathroom there was an ENORMOUS cockroach running around in there, it scared the daylights out of me!!
To make things worse, the hotel staff seemed not to care at all. I asked for the manager to call me. Nobody called. I told them that nobody called and asked AGAIN to have someone call me. Finally after a few hours, the manager called me and offered to move me to a different room.
That's it?!?!? No concession or anything. I was absolutely astonished that they didnt offer me a discount or reimbursement or even a small gesture gift or anything. WOW!

I will never stay here. The entire hotel is run and owned by Indians and although Indians are typically the absolute nicest people, this hotel was the most disappointing and disgusting.
