This hotel was a nightmare. They were doing construction in the room beside mine ALL NIGHT. I called the front office for hours because I couldn’t sleep, then went down there and couldn’t find anyone. There was no microwave & when I booked, it said there was a microwave. The room was dirty. I’m still shocked that they did construction right beside my room all night. I’m in Orlando every week and will not be staying here again. I was nice giving them 1 star.

There are some staff members there who don't speak a word of English and can't understand anything you're trying to say. I couldn't go to sleep until 2 AM the day before I was taking my family to Volcano Bay because the roll away bed for my son wasn't there. I called and asked in person at the front desk for hours but no bed arrived until 2 AM. They just did not care. Some of the staff are outright rude. This was the worst hotel service I've ever had in my life, and I've traveled internationally. The only saving grace was the kind employees who run the restaurant in the hotel. They went out of their way to accommodate my family twice.

This is an older hotel, most of which had been updated. The staff are done if the best we've ever interacted with. Everyone was genuine, kind and caring. We were very happy with our stay here. Tons are large and convenient for a family. Location is great for Universal as well.
