My review of Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites MAIN GATE TO UNIVERSAL ORLANDO

The Holiday Inn Univeral Studios Main Gate in Orlando, FL is conveniently located across the street from the main entrance to Universal Studios. I chose not to use the complimentary shuttle service because I did not want to be confined to the schedule, but it is available to those who do not mind. The rooms were roomy suites with plenty of room. The pool area was very nice. One word of caution - bring a towel when you go swimming - the hotel only provides very small rags to dry off with.

smooth stay

My son and I arrived 6 hours early and we were able to check in without any problems. The staff was very friendly including the young lady who works in the hotel gift shop. My son loved the store so much that he bought all of his gifts there !!

Very affordable

The Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites was very affordable. It is within walking distance to Universal Studios. There is a shuttle service that stops at the hotel that takes you there and back. The times were not always ideal for the return trip but the taxi service from the park was easy and cheap. The room was comfortable although next time I will get a suite. TGI Friday's is a good restaurant to have on site. The Cracker Barrel Restaurant is right across the street from the parking lot and there is an IHOP 2 blocks away. The pool should stay open longer as could the arcade. Most people there are on vacation and do not generally go to bed at 10:30 so longer hours would be ideal.

You can't beat Cracker Barrel or IHOP for breakfast. They are very close with Cracker Barrel being right across the parking lot and IHOP 2 blocks away. T

Quiet very comfortable place to stay

We were pleasantly surprised that the room had a small kitchen and a pull out bed. The hotel was quiet, no doors slamming or kids running up and down the halls. Staff was friendly and helpful. We would definately stay there again.

Excellent Trip, Excellent hotel

All employees were kind and solution oriented. They treated me with respect and always gave me and smile. I had some technological problems with the wireless and they solved it in a timely manner. Housekeeping employees always did their job, keeping the room clean, fresh and bring items as requested. This was one of the best experiences I had in any hotel, only surpass by those hotels who offer, in the package, the continental breakfast.
