Worst hotel ever

our first room had a big cockroach which we had to kill with our slippers..we had to request a second room. The $10 breakfast buffet at tgif was pathetic, room is very moldy/humid especially the bathroom, hallway stinks, took me almost 20min to get a water off the vending machines in the building since most ones i tried didn't work, locating at the gate to universal studios wasn't all that since it's still too far to walk there anyway, felt unsafe at the parking lot at night

great hotel and location

i went to universal, saw the blue man group which was funny and amazing. went to sea world and islandsd of adventure. the hotel was awesome, the only thing that got me upset was that breakfast was suppose to be included and it wasn't. universal studios was across the st. it was kinda of a long walk but it wasn't bad.

Did not meet our expectations

We went on vacation and I was expecting a better hotel. The first room we received was not good at all, we requested to be changed and they gave us another room that it was worse. The room smell bad...like a lot of humidity. Honestly, I stayed in other hotels like Hyatt, Sheraton and even Mariott and the service and the ammenities are better. Do not recommend this hotel...the only good thing was the location.

Great vacation/issue w/hotel

Had to fill out an incident report due to the coffee pot. Blow dryer didn't even work, thankfully I had brought my own. The faucets in the bath tub were very loose so you had to hold the part where the water came out as you turned on the shower.
