There are no lack of hotels surrounding each of the major theme parks in Orlando. We chose this one for its proximity to Universal Orlando. As expected, it was crowded with families and foreign visitors, all taking advantage of its location. While advertised as "Closest to Universal Studios" you will still need transportation to get to the Park. The main entrance is a mile and a half from the hotel. There is a shuttle service that runs once in the morning to the Park and then returns when the Park closes in the evening. If your schedule does not match this option, you can take the city bus which has a stop nearby or hail a taxi. Hotel rooms are clean and adequate, though we found the service less accommodating that at other Hampton Inns where we have stayed. This may be because of the volume of visitors and the constant turnover of staff ( several mentioned to us that they had just begun working there).
