The room was over sprayed with deodorizer like it was covering up another smell. There was also an air scrubber sitting outside the room. They performed loud work on the drywall on our wall which was loud when trying to relax. I’m assuming there was water intrusion of some sort but was sick to my stomach due to the smell of the room.

The rooms smelled musty and the refrigerator in one of the two rooms I had was filthy as if it hadn't ever been cleaned. The breakfast did not offer much but was okay. The location, though, was excellent. It was an easy walk to Universal.

I would not recommend this hotel. For the price, the room is very dated and worn, has a terrible musty smell, and the “free breakfast” was quite sad. Morning coffee is very important to me and the coffee at the hotel is supplied from an electronic machine that looks like it hasn’t been cleaned since it was installed 20+ years ago. The shuttle to Universal only runs at 7:55am and 5:45pm. So you will be walking or driving unless you want those 2 times. Stay elsewhere.
