I have stayed here multiple times. The staff is great. The rooms are always clean. The amenities are good. There is less sun at the pool as you move close to the winter months. It is blocked out by the building. There are two large hot tubs and a sunning platform closeby where you get sun. The snack bar has great food. Rachel at the snack bar is a real sweetheart. One caveat. Beware of the resort fee.It is now $15 per night and it is not clearly evident on some booking sites. The room rates are reasonable, but you have to add $15 per night.

There were fews pros and many cons. We stayed for a week and the room we got was musty and humid when we walked in there. It was also at the end of the long hallway. It was a bonus with no neighbors, but a long walk; wait for why that’s a problem. The shelves in the bathroom were dusty; I assumed the room hadn’t been used in a while. The bed was extremely firm and both my husband and I woke up with back pain. We decided to ask for a different room, especially since my brother and his wife were joining us that next evening and she (uses a walker) with a bad ankle and back to walk all that hall distance. Front desk was courteous and got us another room, but we waited 5 hours for a room to be cleaned and had to remind them. The new room was still at the end of the hallway, but the shorter one. It did smell better and looked cleaner, plus had a softer bed, though still kinda firm. Some major annoying components were the water was barely warm, if at all. Many cold showers were had. The room left our luggage moist, which tells me the AC wasn’t working as it should. An odd thing was randomly through the night the desk lamp would flash really bright. We had to unscrew the lightbulb. Lastly, we had 4 people in the room, but any time they replaced our towels they gave us 2-3. Every day we had to ask for more towels. 2 days they didn’t bring any and we had to hunt them down. One morning we slept in and refused service, but called down to get new towels. They never arrived.

My overall stay was great! The room was really nice and clean. Every single staff member I encountered was super friendly and helpful! Especially the lady that worked the deli counter and three gentlemen that I encountered in the restaurant. Location was also great for being so close to Universal, which is where I was going for HHN. Location was also great in terms of safety. I walked back to the hotel at 3am and felt safe the whole way. Breakfast was also VERY good!!! (Though it sadly wasn't free) And the pool/jacuzzi area was nice! The only fault that I found with the hotel was, their shuttle to Universal departed and arrived only once in the morning and at night. It wasn't running all day. So for me, since I was going to HHN and wouldn't be leaving the park until 2am, I would be too late to catch the shuttle back to the hotel. Thankfully though, there was a Universal resort next door to Best Western that offered back and forth shuttles every few minutes! So I was able to walk over to them (about a 5 minute walk) and use their services. But overall, I was VERY happy with my stay!
