The property was run down, the rooms were gross, and the area was seedy at best. The sheets were nice enough and the bed was fine.

We went to Orlando Florida to go to Universal for 4 days. This hotel is not a hotel for people to stay and enjoy themselves. Its a hotel to put your head down and then go somewhere else for the day. The staff here are great but the rooms have stains on the walls and stains above the windows. Myself and my partner didnt feel the greatest about the hotel room altogether. Granted we did get the two queen 1 bath room for 76$ a night. (Definitely not the top of the line room) Additionally, the hotel cannot control the noisy streets around the hotel and that is something my partner and I understand. Firetrucks and ambulances seem to go by the hotel on a nightly baisis. Our room was by the shuttle pick up and drop off for Universal and we could here everybodys conversation who were waiting or getting off of the buss from the second story. Now that we have the bad out of the way, it should be noted this hotel does have a shuttle that picks people up in the morning 3 times and drop people off 3 times at night to go to and from Universal. This was a huge plus as the hotel may not be that great but, it is however close enough to Universal for this ease of travel. The hotel does have a hot tub and a pool. My partner and I used the hot tub two out of the 4 nights but never used the pool. All in all, out of the area there are better hotels to go to. But if you were in our situation where you are not 21 and therefore cannot get a Universal hotel this is a decent alternative.

The pictures on the website can be misleading. The place felt more like a motel than a hotel. It took at least 10 minutes for hot water to reach the room—I'm guessing it came from across the street. The door to the outside had a large gap at the bottom, so I had to put a towel there to keep the air in and the bugs out. I stayed in January when the outside temperature was near freezing, so the bugs weren't much of an issue. On a positive note, the bed, towels, and shower were all clean.

We were very happy with the accomodations, just wished tgere was a microwave in the room, as that became an issue when we wanted a warm snack and the fitness center was closed.

The worst part is we had only sheer curtains. The light from outside was quite bright in our room all night. Also with being on the first floor everyone walking by could clearly see my daughters and I sleeping. It felt creepy. Everytime I went to the front desk there was no one there.
