Will NEVER stay at another Days Inn

Universal Orlando was wonderful but.....Horrible experiance will NEVER stay at another Days Inn worst hotel we have ever seen. Beds wear hard as rocks rolled everytime you move. Staff was rude,Tub was peeling on bottom no microwave as requested. When we got back at 4pm room was still not clean. tears in spread. Then Charged me $6.75 for maid service. Was very disappointed in Hotel and Orbitz $55 is way over priced for the room also Ordered Papa Johns we had to go all the way up front to pick it up because they would not deliver to the room. We use to enjoy Days Inn but our family and friends will NEVER stay at another Days Inn.

Great location

The location of the hotel was great. I went on a spontaneous trip to Islands of Adventure with some friends and after spending all day at the park it was great that the hotel was so close by. We could have walked to the hotel if we wanted to. The heated pool was amazing. The room itself was clean and well kept. I would defenitly come back!

Motel on the Mend in a good locale

Initial impressions make this Days Inn ?project? look shabby, but there has been lots of renovation work going on. Most of the rooms and outside area are in decent condition, and the pool is in great shape. There is an attached generic diner which has OK food for an OK price, but sometimes is short staffed. You can walk into Universal with little more effort than using the parking garage without the parking costs. Add in the free wireless Internet and you are really getting your room for a steal. The I-Drive shuttle and LINX buses stop nearby, and are perfect for getting to other area attractions and restaurants. A rental car makes it even more convenient. There are dining option from Wendy to Carrabas walking distance. This is a two star place, but you are getting a little more than your money?s worth with the current prices. This is NOT the place I would recommend if you like to spend your afternoons in your room and at the pool, but has really worked out as a center point for Universal, Sea World, I-Drive, and even Disneyworld.

Use Universal's pedal bike taxis to take you down the walking path just 3 blocks from your room!

Not a four star but good location

The Days Inn Maingate was musty worn down and in need of repair. The AC couldn't begin to cool off the room and we were there in early April. The location was okay with places to eat within walking distance. Accross from the main gate of Universal is very correct, but it was probably the most run down of any Hotel/Motel on the street. The drains were plugged the shower was moldy and the ceiling had half of the texture missing. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone but construction workers or kids that don't care.
