Liked: Cleanliness
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.

Very conveniently located near universal. Lovely little hotel with very friendly staff. Has a pool as well as an attached restaurant which looked divine. Beds were a little hard for me but that is a personal preference they are not unsleepable. Would absolutely stay again and next time will definitely be trying the restaurant!

Exterior was a little suspect when we pulled up but pleasantly surprised the rooms were updated and clean. The check in staff extremely friendly. Didn’t use the pool but looked nice, zero entry and pool furniture appeared newer and in good shape. Overall for our 1 night stay and cost, it was perfect.

Difficult to see where to park, had to follow check in sign...which still wasn't very clear. Extremely disappointed the curtains don't actually close in the room. Other than that, the room is exactly as advertised.
