Stayed for 2 days to go to a show at the hard rock live, super convenient around universals 3 min walk, there’s a bridge to cross over if you’re walking, Uber to and from was about $6, they also offer shuttle buses at first come first serve by a certain cut off time, was able to check in early and check out later with no issues, love the convenience of this hotel and how safe I felt as I was looking for an affordable stay with no weird characters hanging out outside of the room, 10/10 experience when I checked out I regretted not booking another night, will definitely be using this hotel in the future for any future Orlando stays! Only thing I would recommend is adding streaming services as there are only premium channels like hbo & nbc etc overall great stay!

Wanted to stay close to Univetsal studios with free transportation to the park. It was close to Universal but when I went to book the bus to the park the evening before I was told they needed longer because I had a mobility scooter. This ment I was unable to use the free bus service. The desk where you book the bus only opened from 4pm to 8pm.

Very close to Universal Resort Orlando. Roughly 30 mins walk (not 11 minutes) as advertised on their postings. Although, there's a shuttle to/from Hotel vv Universal on a scheduled basis. There's nearby 7/11, McDonalds, Pharmacy,Restaurant, outlet. Bus stop is very close and will take you to closer attractions.

Outside facing rooms and most face the street or express way. You hear a lot of street noise as well as your neighbors in the room Nextdoor so bring a sound machine. Then I was met with a peddler who wanted me to let him use my room to take a shower. Let the front desk know as I left.

Its not just right off the highway, they are all exteria doors that seemed to have been kicked in once or twice, you can see outside. Between the road noise all hours of the night from the highway, the loud air condition and the hard beds we got no sleep, after two nights we moved to another hotel. If you repay from Expedia you have to chat message expedia to end the reservation that day they call the hotel confirmed no extra fees, then expedia will refund you the unused days. I have never ever left a hotel mid stay!!

The lobby was very clean and pretty. The room was very nicely decorated and clean. The staff was also friendly. The only things I did not like was that I found hair in all the towels that were in my room and when I asked for new towels, they were never brought. I had to call a second time that night when I got back and the front desk receptionist brought it herself. I also do not like their housekeeping policy that no one comes to clean the room until 3 days later. All in all however, it was a positive stay.
