4.5 star ratingLovely hotel and very polite staff would stay again30 September 2008
3.0 star ratingFriendly reception staff and cleaners.Decor a bit bland and dated. The hotel lobby has an office which you THINK is associated with the hotel and Disney/Universal parks,IT IS NOT. There is an official Universal employee there every morning but the regular staff there (not in Universal t-shirts) promise discount tickets for the parks - ONLY if you so through a 2 hour time share showing (not available for ROI residents). This is a full on scam and neither the hotel or time share employees were remorseful or apologetic for wasting our time when tricked/snared by this. Luckily our hotel was beside the resort in question so we hadn't got far to travel (also no kids). I fear for how many young families drove miles to be swindled. Hopefully my warning will save a few people time and money. Get your tickets elsewhere!07 October 2008
4.0 star ratingGood hotel for the price we paid, big rooms. Bathrooms need updating06 October 2008
3.5 star ratingprices in the bar are overpriced which means guests do not use the bar as much as they could if pricing was more reasonable. Think large turnover to make bar more profitable.14 October 2008
4.0 star ratingClean large rooms, Comfortable Well made beds, sound proof rooms, (well at least in room 631). Good location. Hot water was tepid around peak times. Hotel is a little dated in deccor. Fraudulant Pizza sales leaflets keep being put under the door. Hotel could have prevented this a little more. An anomalous service charge is charged at the end of the stay. When I enquired what it was the receptionists just kept on repeating "it is a service charge, it is a service charge... it is a service charge" It would have been funny if it didnt cost me $3.50 a night. The hotel shop is wildly expensive. 27 October 2008
4.5 star ratingNice large room, clean, nice staffOutside of buidling looks a bit shabby31 October 2008
5.0 star ratinggreat location, friendly and helpful staff, clean ideal for familys 28 October 2008
4.5 star ratingWe had a problem with the standard of hygiene with the bathroom when we checked in , we reported it and were offered a move to another room straight away, the reception/front desk service was excellentthe only down side was the hotel was built in away that blocked the sun, from 3 pm the pool area went into the shade,its like its built the wrong round , but i cant fault the hotel at all, the service was excellent05 December 2008
4.5 star ratingEverything was great, check in was easy, as I stayed for 23 nights, they upgraded me to a mini suite for an extra $11.25 (incl tax) per night. I had a huge room with huge king sized bed, mini kitchen, great bathroom, and room safe and cleaning provided. Staff were very helpful, car park easy to park and free, I would highly recommend this hotel for itself and position, as it was so close to wet and wild, you could use that as a pin point position to get back, especially at night in the dark! They have a deli and a seperate restaurant/bar in house, laundry, games room, pool and lifts, also porters if required. The food was not overly expensive, and certainly not for a hotel, you can easily get a good meal for less than $20. There is a TV channel which is for tourists, worth watching, will give you tips of how to stay safe and where to go.The only negative that I can think of is that there was only 1 computer in the hotel for free internet access. There are computers in the rooms but they are $5 a day, which can add up. The other negative, which is nothing to do with the hotel directly, it is a general problem, you get loads of pizza flyers under your door every night - DO NOT USE, they take your credit card number and steal details, it is a fraud situation all over Florida and happens everywhere.15 December 2008
4.0 star ratingLocation - you can get public transport to both outlets, the florida mall and disney just around the corner from the hotel The hotel was great value, would stay there again21 December 2008
4.0 star ratingVery convenient location, easy access to public transport and access to Universal, restaurants, shopping outlets. Decoration is a bit dated but the room is spacious and good amenities. I found it great value for money for a pleasant but unpretencious stay in Orlando. Breakfast free for under 9 with 1 adult paying was much appreciated.06 January 2009
