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 The rooms are pretty outdated, but overall with cleanliness OK.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.

Lets talk about the positives. It was close to universal, pricing was cheap for a 1 night stay and the room itself was big (as we got the suite) and overall looked like it was updated. It appears the building is going through a remodel and no doubt when done the lobby, hallway and amenities likely will be better. This wasn't "necessarily" the issue. The issues were the following....1) When booking the room online, no where did we see a notice on the website that said it was under construction or in a remodel process. Had we seen that, likely would have not booked it. 2) As expected as a result, we couldn't park in front of hotel to check in (as they are doing work on the entrance), so had to park on side of road. 3) No mini store to sell drinks or water because of construction 4) no ice machines on hardly any of the floors because of remodeling and the ONE ice machine that was on 10th floor, did not work. It was on and at best spit out a few pieces of ice. 5) While I know it was late (after 10pm), I asked staff if there was water in those courtesy water tanks they keep by service desk and they were like, I think we are out. I walked over to try to poor and nothing came out but clearly you can see there was some there. I said, "oh so there isn't anyway of getting any water or water bottles" and they responded there was a walgreens down the street. I was too tired to be combative and accepted the answer. You know they could have refilled it for me.

This property is under renovation which was not disclosed at the time of reservation. There are no amenities, no vending machines, no pool, no hot water, dish network for television not even all of the channels. Broken toilet paper holder, knobs missing on the furniture. In short an unsafe dump. The hotel should not be open during this extensive renovation. Wires hanging from the ceiling, hallways blocked with furniture. The location is great but that is it.

Staff is friendly and Our room was clean, the beds comfortable and the view was nice from the 10th floor.. But when we got there they seem to be expanding the lobby and adding a couple new things so there was a bit of construction but besides that it was a nice stay . Also the hotel is connected to a TGI Friday’s and the food is pretty good. Also walking distance to universal and the premium outlets 👍

Not mentioned anywhere that this property is under construction, even when I called before arrival. Pool is closed until maybe 9/16. The place is a mess and dirty. Bugs in the beds. It seemed every time we came down our hallway the cleaning staff was just hanging out talking which makes sense since the place is dirty…everywhere. The living area, the bedrooms, outside the rooms. They clearly do not do their jobs well. Do not recommend.
