Hotel was clean and room was as expected

Close to Universal Studio theme park. Older hotel that met the need with a good breakfast to boot. I'd stay there again.

Sightseeing tip: Short drive from hotel

Orlando is tough to navigate at night. Universal really turns you around coming and going so getting confused about where you need to go is easy to happen. The good news is that everything is in a pretty tight area so even if you get turned around you will find you way eventually. Relax, you'll get there!

Mostly just fine, unclean breakfast area

Overall the hotel was fine, the breakfast area was a little unclean feeling. A false firm alarm evacuated the hotel at 3 AM-that made for a restless night.

Very good experience.

I spent most of the time while I was there on my laptop (the Wi-Fi was very good) and listening to the clock radio (104.1 FM). I would've liked the breakfast to have some eggs, bacon, and sausage. But it was still good. The room was very comfortable and the service was good.

My son and I took a trip to Orlando so he could go to Halloween Horror Nights. There were no sheets for the pull out sleeper sofa.

Don't Waste Your Time

Hotel was old and run down, we were only staying over 1 night so it wasn't worth changing hotels. Only good thing about the place is that it was 1 mile from Universal in Orlando. Unfortunately I gave the entire staff a bad rating because of the 1 nasty girl at the front desk when we checked in. NASTY, NASTY UGLY GIRL - SHE NEEDS TO GET IN CHECK WITH HER "HOW TO BE NICE TO CUSTOMERS" SKILLS - AWFUL

Great value and friendly staff.

The package offer with the Alamo Rental Car was the best value I have experienced in resent years. The hotel location is very central to all entertainment and business (nicest convention center in the US). Free internet that I could pick up wireless from the room was great. A clean room with lots of space. Plenty of parking by the entry door to my room. Good continental breakfast.

Good location and comfortable.

We only stayed one night, but it was a convenient location and was priced right. The staff was friendly and helpful, definitely would stay there again if I went back to Orlando.
