There was not a disclosure before I booked that it was being renovated. There were no vending or ice machines, no bar or food service unless you walked over to TGIFridays. There were also sugar ants in my room. They did try to help and sent housekeeping up to do a full cleaning however, the ants came back. The day I checked in the staff was great. The day I left, it was not. She had wrong information and when another guest tried to hand her an ice bucket, she literally said she deal with that and refused to take it. I took it to my room.

The hotel was under construction, so everything was dirty and materials everywhere. The exit gates were hit and miss whether they’d work. The bathroom was dirty and the door wouldn’t shut. The room was humid. We got stuck in the parking lot because construction had half the lot blocked and the gate wouldn’t work. The workout room was in disrepair and only one of four machines worked. The pool and pool are were dirty. Expect to pay for parking since you’re close to Universal. We will not be staying here again.

The hotel is undergoing renovations but it’s really inconvenient and does not provide proper instructions as to where to park or how to access front desk through all the construction. It’s dusty, hallways are not clean. Room was not ready when we arrived, it was 3:50pm because they had not serviced the rooms yet. however when we were checking out, a housekeeper knocked on the door at 9:25am asking if she could clean. Probably won’t stay here again. I’ll pay extra to stay somewhere else.

The hotel is under renovation and at 7:20 am, we were awoken to the sound of drills and hammers. I understand the need to update facilities but you would think they would close off the area where construction was taking place but not in this instance. Disappointing

Very frustrating stay

The hotel was a nightmare to stay in. It’s under construction which I understand and is fine but it made everything very difficult. The parking was ridiculous because the app they use wasn’t working properly. The rooms are pretty outdated, but overall with cleanliness OK. The breakfast was very overpriced and the overall experience was very frustrating. I will not be staying here again. There are many other hotels in the same price range that have many more updates and amenities.

Leaks, Mildew, and Zero Accountability

Absolutely the worst stay. TLDR: Zero communication Major leak Forced to stay in room with fan + water damage Horrible mildew smell Pool closed Construction blocking all entrances Unprofessional staff We arrived at 1:00 (approx) to meet friends who had checked in earlier. They were given a room, but we were told ours wasn’t ready. No problem, we’d use the pool. Except it was closed for construction. Still manageable. At 4:00 we returned, only to be told, “oh, we’ll transfer your room.” Meanwhile, another guest mentioned they arrived at 3 and got a room immediately. Saturday morning we discovered the carpet soaked from a shower leak. We notified staff and said we’d return later that night to switch rooms. We never received any call back and returned to an overpowering mildew stench and a loud industrial air mover running in the room. When I raised the issue, the front desk treated us like the problem. The manager’s response: “What would you like me to do?” Since it was after 2am, I said I’d return the next morning. It’s now 3 days, 2 emails, and 1 call later—still no response. DoubleTree is across the street and infinitely better. Spend the extra $30–$50 a night to stay on universal property. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Your staff is lovely and tries their best during adverse conditions. The shuttle buses to a from the parks are very convenient. But I never would have booked this hotel if I knew it was undergoing such a major renovation. I was very nervous about my rental car getting damaged by all the construction equipment in the parking area. My room smelled weird, the safe didn't work, and one of border tiles fell off when I closed the closet door. I thought about asking to be moved to another room, but with the state the hotel was in, I doubted it would be any better. Keeping a hotel open while making major renovations is an obvious money grab and Holiday Inn should be ashamed of itself. Thank goodness for Door Dash because the only nearby food option was TGIFridays and what they serve can barely be considered food.

Hotel was under heavy renovation and did not notify me before my booking. They did not offer free breakfast. They charged $27 a day for parking and over half of the parking lot was taken up by constructions or a Car rental company. The walls had holes cut in them, exposed wires across the ceilings. AND the worst of all.....SMOKE Detectors taped up...... That should never happen. When the work is done the tape comes off.
