Birthday Getaway

Hotel amenities was fine, except we were told WIFI was available when it wasn't. Could not utilize the pool due to cleanliness. Hospitality staff forgot to replenish wash towels. There were bugs in window seal and A/C unit. Complementary breakfast was a plus. All in all , an average visit for amount paid.

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.

Very Average Motel in a Great Location

The motel is very close to Universal which is where we wanted to be. The room was average in cleanliness but we had to call for towels the 2nd day we were there. The breakfast room badly needs help in that the eggs arrived very late during the breakfast time; the tables were never wiped by anyone after being used and they were all sticky and dirty. It was hard to find a place to sit there. We decided to forego the 'free' breakfast and go to a local Ihop the following days.

Ming Square is a great Chinese restaurant in the area and there is a 10% discount in one of those Florida travel guides found in the lobby.

Not so good

Check in time is listed as 3pm, but when we arrived I was told no rooms with king size beds had been cleaned yet and I could check back at 4pm one might be ready at that time. Since it was a short visit for us we had things planned and couldn't continue to check back until a room was ready. The staff was not very helpful when I said it was fine our room wasn't ready if there was somewhere we could change from our cold weather clothes into shorts.
