I frequently go to the Universal theme parks and prefer to stay nearby. I stayed here on Oct 1st, having picked it at random. Originally planned on staying at the Crowne Plaza, glad I didn't! The location is excellent, you can access both International drive and Universal blvd from this hotel. Upon check in was a breeze and very friendly.... more

I stayed 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. Staff was excellent. Everyone from the front desk, housekeeping and restaurant made my visit great. The staff went out of their way to provide anything I needed from information about transportation to restaurants in the area. The room was basic but very clean. The shuttle (to Universal) was timely to the... more

Oveall, a very good experience. We wanted to keep our costs down on this trip, and feel we got a lot for our money (a little under $50 a night on Hotwire) at this hotel. We'll get the less-than-great stuff out of the way first: * Parking is tight. The hotel is wedged in an angle behind a shopping center... more
