The sheets and shower were dirty. The door between our room and the next had a huge gap so we could hear their tv all night. The elevators creaked and jolted. The luggage cart we used was broken. And we were charged some random fee even though we had prepaid.

I only spent about 7 hours in the room to sleep, the rest of my 2 days I was out doing activities. The front desk was extremely nice and helpful, making a check in a breeze. They did charge an extra $2 amusement park fee at check in; not sure why that wasn't included in the bill during the originally booking. The parking lot was pretty full, so I didn't get to park near my room in the back, but I did get back after midnight and there was still parking in the front. I did not use the paid breakfast as a waffle house was across the street. The room was clean and the beds were good. Only difficulty was low shower pressure, but at that point in the night, I was able to still use it. With the location (near the parks, food spots, and car charging station down the street) and the price, I would consider staying here again.

Check in was smooth, the staff was friendly. Can be a bit noisy but that’s due to be so close to International Drive.

When we first got a booking here was for a short trip outing with the family, we knew it wouldn’t be great like a resort. But even for a hotel like this it went way lower than our expectations, first off it was old and had damage of wear on shower, toilet, sink, and surfaces. Then the second issue was the wifi and the television not working and loading for more than minutes and basically some channels don’t work like Netflix which is provided. Lastly the roaches, we found three alive and two dead. The alive ones walking along the floor and flew to my sisters face at night, and the others dead were behind the bed frame. As we left I wanted to speak to the manager but he had went out on an emergency meeting, we were told that from an employee with some attitude and lack of care and the basically didn’t know where the manager was or would be back. I’ve talked to an employee the day before of the problem and gave us new sheets, and two breakfast tickets which weren’t much. She had told us we would be able to speak to the manager the next morning and get a refund, but now that he isn’t there and we leave today I only hope he answers my emails and phone calls about the problem.

Breakfast required an extra fee so we ate the many restaurants and other options for food around the neighborhood. Refrigerator was very weak, no freezer components. Normal signs of wear and tear, not super clean lines throughout. Housekeeping services requires prior request. Parking is not covered. Pros: very close to Universal Studios Resorts and Theme Parks. Close to freeways with open air motel style residences.

Room was clean, lights were off upon entry and switch was difficult to find in the dark. Consistent noise disturbance early in the morning. Breakfast buffet looked mediocre for the price of 12.99 per person. Many Hotels/Motels over this complementary. Most beneficial part about this establishment is its convenient location to local attractions. Will not return in the future.

Cons: the rooms are a little older, the walls are thin as we can hear people talking that were outside all the time, and the water pressure was a little low.

Pros: it is close to Universal studios entrance. There are alot of eaterys around that are fairly priced. Staff was super welcoming. It seemed clean. Rooms had a lot of light.

Room was extremely clean (I was able to walk without shoes on in the room— so that’s saying something.) Staff all very friendly, check-in was a breeze. AC was cold. Location could not have been better. About 5 mins drive from Universal, Ubers were between $5-10 each way. Free parking in the hotel lot. Walgreens right across the street. Will definitely return!

The pictures and the actual building are worlds apart. The property has no security as anyone walking down the street can walk up to your window or door.
The structure itself has cracks and has every sign of a motel.
The room was clean and the bed laid nicely.
The bath tub was dirty and had questionable stains, hair all over.
The AC looks beat down and the ice machine in the hallway.. questionable all around
I returned the keys within 10min of check in and booked another hotel.
Waste of time and money.
The front desk staff were nice and respectful though

Overall it’s very good, highly recommended, very close to a lot shopping and restaurants and the very important very close to universal studios and airport. Thank you

Rooms have no coffee makers. I would go down every morning and ask to have a black cup of coffee. Also Breakfast is not included adults pay $12. For our trip it served the purpose only to sleep and shower. They do have a seal bus to take you to the parks. Pickup to Universal Studios 8:45 and back is 6pm. We staying at the parks until closing and took the bus from Surfside Hotel which was across the street then walked to ours.

Room was decent besides the mold on the lampshades and window curtain. The tv was old and had other images burned into the screen. The transportation bus to universal only goes at one specific time( around the time the park opens) and comes back one specific time ( few hours before the park closes). Breakfast is an extra charge of $12 per person currently. As long as you use the room to just sleep and not hang out in then it’s not bad. Beds are comfortable and pillows are extremely soft. If you need some pillow support make sure to bring your own.

My first impression walking into the lobby was not good. The lobby reaks of mildew and mold. The room we were put in was covered in mold and rust. The sink was clogged and there were burn marks on the blanket. I was staying on the first floor and it was unbelievably loud during the night and in the morning. The maids cleaning carts sound like you're sleeping next to a Rollercoaster. I was woken up all night by peoples rolling suite cases and chatting all night. Once I was able to sleep I was woken up early by staff rolling around cleaning carts and talking. I told the front desk after the first night that there was mold and it was so loud I was not able to sleep. I was told that I needed to stay another night in the room because they were booked. When I requested a room change it was around check out time for the other customers. The woman at the front desk could have easily had a room cleaned and moved us. I was extremely disappointed with my experience. I feel like I was deceived by the advertisement for this \"Hotel\" and ratings online.

The room was nice, it smelled heavily of bleach which really made my sinuses hurt. Husband and I were sneezing the first night but it finally mellowed out. The room was sort of awkward because there’s a massive area with no furniture, could have used a chair or a small dining table. Rooms were dated but simple. Things were pretty average.

The looks are deceiving from the online pictures. It is basically a Super 8 motel with some amenities. The tv didn't work until we reported it the following night. The TV doesn't take wifi so can't add Netflix or YouTube just basic channels. Pillows, blankets and bed aren't comfortable. There was a connecting door between rooms and was not informed. The second night the new occupants tried opening the door even after told them it was occupied. I had to report to the front desk so that they can handle. Occupants should be informed ahead of time so that this doesn't happen. Staff was very polite.
