Bathroom needs updated

Upon entering the room, all looks fine however, they promote this with a microwave, fridge and free wifi which indeed it had. It also had a chair for sitting. Since this was such a little room, the chair was tucked next to the desk, next to the fridge, next to the dresser so really unusable. The ceiling in the shower/toilet area had peeling paint from a previous water leak and the tiles around the wall and floor were broken. So, if you overlook that, the location was great for an event at the convention center.

Good place for staying

This place might be perfect if you are looking for a place to stay on I-Drive and play around. It has good location and got almost everything you need, while the laundry machine was a little bit problematic. For those who want to visit the theme parks, it's close to Universal Studio and Seaworld and you can easily find a bus to and from there in half an hour. However, maybe you should rent a car if you are planning a visit to WDW and don't want to get up at 6 spend more than an hour on the bus. BTW the price of shuttle bus to/from WDW is about $40 one way.

Good for one night

The hotel is well-located, just off International Drive. The room that I was in needed a thorough cleaning, not just a between-guest wipeover. WiFi did not work in the room, even though it was very close to the lobby. The best time to have breakfast is at 6:30, when it opens. It gets crowded after that. The breakfast area could also use a good cleaning.

Just a room

Everything worked. The bed was comfortable. The shower worked and the water was warm. The fridge and microwave came in handy. I was in town for a convention at OCCC, so the location was a little far away. There was plenty of restuarants nearby. never used the free breakfast,too crowded. hotel staff was less than helpful. Overall, just a room where was nothing was broken.
