Good value

Outside was a bit rundown, but rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a little meager. Good location, but nearby traffic was very bad when people are leaving the parks.

Good for the location and price

If you are looking for a hotel close to Universal at a good price, this is the place. I was a little disappointed that there was no microwave or refridgerator like the picture shows, but overall it was a plesent trip

Inexpensive

Adequate for the price, which was low, but a bit bare and disorganized.

Good value priced hotel

Your basic hotel with everything you need but nothing fancy! Room and bathroom were clean. The only complaint was the raggedy looking bedspread full of holes, but everything else was fine!

Great Value and Great Location!

This hotel came as a really good surprise....I expected it to be clean but not an overall value as it turned out to be! It was $40 per night and was as nice a room and/or accomodations as I have seen for $90 per night elsewhere!

PERFECT LOCATION

After a long day at Universal Studios, it was great to know that the hotel was less than 2 miles away! It was a quick drive away, with plenty of restaurants and other stores nearby. The room was clean and comfortable enough for a good night's sleep before heading home the next morning. And free breakfast is always a plus. I would recommend for anyone who wants a decent place for a good price, just minutes away from Universal Studios.

Not a 3 Star

This is more of a 2 star motel. It's location is very good though, with Perkins within walking distance and restaurants on International Drive less than 2 minutes drive. The continental breakfast wasn't great - toast, cereal, and coffee was all they had.

Visit the Florida Mall area about 10 minutes drive north. There's tons of malls for some decent shopping.
