The staff were amazing! They happily accommodated an early check in, and the room was nice and clean. This place is right in the middle of all the action on international drive, super close to sea world and universal studios. All of this and plenty of room for our family of 6! We will be back :)

Rooms are very spacious and clean. Beds are comfy although pillows are too soft for my taste. Love that it is central to all parks. Just 7 mins from Universal, 15-20 mins from Disney. A few draw backs, full housekeeping is done every 7 days, refresh of bathroom every 3, both phones weren’t working, reported, they said they would fix it and it never happened. Even though, definetley staying here again on our next trip.
