I went with this hotel over another because i was excited for the hot tub..although it was luke warm at best.. we phoned the front desk multiple times about it during our 3 night stay but nothing was done. The room was very nice though and the hotel shuttle to Universal was great!
The room was great! Stayed for my boyfriends birthday and was so happy because his favorite color is purple.. made choosing this hotel even more appealing.

The restaurant in the Hotel was great, love the food. Breakfast wasn't free. I paid for both of the croissants I ate. The bus to Universal Studios was need as I wanted to go and come back from the team whit out paying for additional transportation to the park. The room was as I expected. Worth the price.

The room was clean. Staff was courteous. The location was pretty good for what we wanted to do in Orlando. I could hear a lot of noise from my room of other guest coming and going and that made it hard to sleep. Also the first shower I took the water was not very warm. I had a long flight and wanted to take a nice hot shower and it was not, however when I got up early on another day the shower was hot.

This motel is very misleading. Do not waste your time. We walked in, and knew we were not going to stay here. We booked this location the morning of because we decided on a last minute trip to universal and figured since there was a free shuttle advertised, we would take advantage of it and stay here. Well lo and behold, you have to book the shuttle 24 hours in advance, but that is not displayed anywhere in the property details, otherwise we would have just stayed elsewhere knowing that our trip wasn’t even planned 24 hours in advance. The price you pay to stay here is comparable to many other hotels that are MUCH nicer and well kept. We attempted to resolve at the property, but they said we had to go through hotels.com because that’s who we booked through. We called hotels.com and after speaking with several different customer service associates, they said it was up to the hotel whether or not they allow us to cancel and the request takes up to 72 hours to process. They refused to let me speak with upper management to try to expedite the process since we were discussing a hotel for the same night, not three days later. It wasn’t until the next day that the hotel declined our cancelation/refund request and we didn't even stay here. Save yourself the time, hassle, and money and stay somewhere worth it, as this place is not
