"The good, the bad, and the really ugly"

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites MAIN GATE TO UNIVERSAL ORLANDO because it was Great Location, it was foot steps away to Universal Studios. The Hotel itself is not so great! When I first had arrived the guy at the front desk was very rude. He asked for my name and he was mis-spelling it when he entered it into the computer and was argueing with me insisting that I was at the wrong Holiday Inn. Finally he realized that he was wrong and he didn't even apologize for his mistake, he was just so nasty about it. Then when we got into our room on the 4th floor, the whole 4th Floor smelled like rotten broccoli and cheese [ Ewww !!! ]the room was un-clean, the balcony was dirty and the shower was broken the pipes were rusted green, I don't understand why they would even check us into a room that had broken plumbing! We then changed rooms to the 8th floor which was much much better, I suggest staying away from the 4th Floor! but other than that the location is wonderful if your planning to go to Universal but if you have it in your budget to stay at a nicer hotel, you should.

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.

Never Again!

First they gave us a room that was already occupied. We walked in on the old man and we apoligized. So we went back to the desk and she put us in a room... all the way up on the top floor (10th). Our keys didnt work so we couldnt get in. So I went back to the desk and they activated the key again. Went back to the 10th Floor and the keys worked. BUT... the room was never cleaned from the previous occupant! This time we're furious! We went back down to the desk... again... and they put us in a Suite on the 5th Floor. A lot of hassel just trying to get into a room and relax especially driving all morning and spending all day at Universal Studios. The room... did not smell so pleasant! NEVER AGAIN!
