Holiday Weekend busy but efficient

Our purpose of our trip was to be as close to Universal Studios as possible at a reasonable cost. We were able to do that. Not only was it close to Universal but we had a variety of meal options all around us within walking distance. We walked to Universal in about 15 minutes. I liked that the continental breakfast was affordable and SERVED. :o) There was a little confusion to our room placement but the staff handled it professionally and with a smile. Our overall experience was good and we will use this location again.

didnt like this place

when i looked at the description it did state it had a free internet service but the internet at this place was a joke we all had to do our personal business in the front lobby unless you were prepared to uppgrade to a pool side room at extra cost my family came to buy a property and trying to keep in contact with all involved it was extremly hard to do without every one and anyone who wanted to looking over your shoulder and as the only place to get good internet was the hotel lobby it made for a extremly busy place my neice like the pool but for me it was a big let down there there was no microwave or coffe maker the toilet got blocked and wouldnt stop running until i put the flap valve in its proper position whilst the entire room flooded out they did put us in another room for the night not anything like any of the other hotels i have stopped at there was a pool side bar i only saw it open 3 times and then the only time i went to get a drink they ran out and had to get some more which took ages

Great Value for the Price!

The hotel staff was very accommodating. On several occasions I needed things that were above and beyond and they made arrangements to make it happen. Overall clean. Didn't expect a 4star resort for the price. Very pleased. Can't beat the price. Would stay here again.

Will Never stay here again!

Orlando in July and the Air Conditioning was barely cool. No table & chair in room, empty space with a floor lamp. Dripping tub,tub was not attached to floor, shower head good for people under 5 feet. No coffee in room or lobby. No Wi-Fi, 21st Century people. TV did not work. Front Desk did not even ask how our stay was, I would have told them, but they did not seem to care.

Horrible night

It was horrible, we had been driving from Kentucky all day and just wanted a place to spend the night. The shower was dirty,the volume on the TV was not working good, the remote control was not working, the AC stopped working around 5 AM, the phone wasn't working, so we couldn't call the front desk. We weren;t expecting a 5 star hotel, but this was just BAD!!!!!!!!
