“Great place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

The hotel was in a great location. The cinnamon rolls at breakfast were terrific! There were many choices. Sausage patties, sausage links or bacon were offered every day, as well as bisquits and gravy. The bed was very comfortable and the view of Universal & the sunset was lovely too!. Very helpful staff! They helped us with restaurant recommendations, cab rides to Universal for early admission, anything we asked for! Several restaurants were in walking distance of the hotel, which was great since we didn't rent a car. The pool was nice too...it was just the right size & was heated. Thanks for everything! We loved staying there! Ann & Deni

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from the ice machine, and one with a view of Universal

“Excellent hotel and staff! Thank you, Gene”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

A smile goes a long way to gaining a customer. I got a nice clean room at a great rate last night. The hotel staff was very nice. It was the best night sleep I've had in a long time. I drove all the way from South Carolina. I look forward to doing it again.

Thank you

“Excellent hotel and staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

We stayed at this hotel for our family summer holiday and had a fantastic time. Staff were very helpful and went out of their way to make us happy and very comfortable. All we had to do was ask and the attitude was "if we have it, you got it". Nothing was too difficult for them to do to make you happy and want to come back. Free breakfast was brilliant with lots to choose from (hot and cold). In my opinion, this hotel could easily pass for a 4* as we have stayed in a lot of different 3* hotels in Florida and none of them can compare with this one. Room was very clean and comfortable and any request was very quickly met. Laundry room was very useful as the kids were able to use the swiming pool at the hotel and the hotel next door as well as visiting wet'n wild without being short of swimsuits. Front desk even helped with the change to use the laundry facilities! This is one hotel where they have thought about everything for a brilliant customer experience. Well done all!.... and Thanks.

Stayed at this hotel more than 10 times. Good location and always great. Highly recommended and we continue to stay! I always stay here when I'm in Orlando, which is regularly. Never had any issues and front desk has helped with everything needed.

“good value - clean hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

Stayed here one night before our cruise. No major problems. Room was a bit on the small side but clean. Free breakfast was great but we did have trouble finding an empty table. Free internet use in the lobby was nice. Overall, good place to stay. I would stay here again.
