The room was clean. Staff was courteous. The location was pretty good for what we wanted to do in Orlando. I could hear a lot of noise from my room of other guest coming and going and that made it hard to sleep. Also the first shower I took the water was not very warm. I had a long flight and wanted to take a nice hot shower and it was not, however when I got up early on another day the shower was hot.

Very accommodating! Couple of small issues like the heater didn’t work and the toilets took forever to fill! Shower very slippery! However, called the front desk about heat and maintenance was there within minutes! Couldn’t fix it but the response was fast! Great location for outlet shopping! Nice sitting area! I arrived at 11:30 on two separate occasions as I changed hotels at one point and they allowed me to check in early! That superseded the few flaws!

Our biggest issue with this hotel was that it was really cold in Florida for the 30th and 31 January. Our room had no heat. They basically just told us to get more blankets. I requested room service on the 31st while we were out at the parks. No service came. The 31st a maintenance guy came in to fix the heater only to look at it and leave 30 seconds later stating that he needed to get his supervisor and never come back. They finally moved us to a new room . My brother-in-law, who was also staying at that hotel had no heat his entire day. They did not offer to move him to a new room.

I booked this hotel with fingers crossed! I normally stay at on property hotels for Disney and Universal but decided to try and save a little money and stay off site. I thought a partner hotel would be fine. The outside of the hotel reminded me of a Motel 6. The pictures of the remodeled rooms and lobby had me thinking the outside was just needing the remodel now. I arrived at about 10am with check in being at 4pm. I asked for early checkin when booking but understood if it was not possible. We waited in the lobby till a room was ready about 4pm. The lob y is very clean and restroom close and very clean. Room was very clean. Older but clean and comfortable. Smelled nice too! Tub was a little scary as I could hear and feel the slight cracking as i turned i. The shower. Very clean shower though! NO BODY SOAP. Only Shampoo and Conditioner. Sink area had Lotion. Beds were comfortable. Sheets were warm and clean. Air conditioner was ok. Room door could be upgraded. I felt at any time someone could just kick the door in. I could see sunlight around the door so bugs could come in and i could hear everything outside. I just kept a towel on the floor. Food. I did not expect the entire place to be INDIAN FOOD. It was great but i was surprised that was the only option for the majority. I didnt eat at the restaurant. I ate at the cafe for breakfast. Cheese omelet and bacon. Very good! Coffe good too. My daughter had pancakes and waffles. Excellent! Cafe staff WONDERFUL! Rooms

We stayed on New Year's Eve for one night just before moving over to a Universal resort. First time staying and we were quite surprised. The hotel was booked solid but it was very efficient, everything was clean, the room was surprisingly nice, given the price. We could actually walk over to Universal by going over the Portofino and picking up the garden path to City Walk. Super convenient. We also ate dinner at Tabla and were VERY impressed with Indian food. It's absolutely worth eating there.

I know for the price you pay, this is what you get but you should probably clean the hallways more or at least not have the guests put their towels outside the doors..when we left there were lots of towels by room doors even sheets down the stairs. Hotel needs a lil more cleaning.
