We had one booked after our cruise and planned to go to Universal Studios for my husbands birthday! It was so nice to be able to buy the tickets at the hotel. The shuttle to the park was nice too. We were supposed to fly home the next day but a mix up with our flight meant we needed to stay another night. Thank goodness the hotel was able to book us another night in our same room. I would stay here again.

They never put my money back on my card for the unused incidental fees that they charged me. They charged my card twice for parking fees that they said were covered in the incidental fee!! Our room smelled like old mildew and mold causing me and my children to have a horrible cough!! The room was a bit outdated to me. Will NOT and returning.

Service was good. The room was nice. No issues. The only thing I don’t like is that paying guests still have to pay extra for parking. That should be free if you are staying there. Or discounted at least. $33 a day is a bit much. I will have to do more research next time. Otherwise, it was a good stay.

Charging 33 dollars a night for parking is ridiculous especially since you are already paying average of $200 a night. The shuttle to take you to universal you have to sign up for in the hotel or it will be a 20 minute walking depending on if you have kids or not could be longer. Not only do you need to sign up for the shuttle it only runs at a few select times. When coming back from universal it is first come first serve and again the times coming back are only a select few. The Starbucks on site is no good. The staff wasn’t friendly the coffee was burnt and they never had enough food. The pool was nice nothing fancy. The jacuzzi was hot no complaints there. Now onto the stay. The room smelt musty and moldy. The air conditioning is loud. The carpet was stained, definitely some form of a pet stain. The beds were not the most comfortable. The cleaning staff put a stained sheet on our bed. We had cockroaches in our room. When we informed them, with a smile they said “yes we are aware thank you for letting us know.” Lots of issues with this particular hotel. It looks great on the outside. However don’t be fooled. Roaches in the room!! Smell of musty/mold in the rooms. Stained carpets. This is not an ideal hotel to stay in. When all of my concerns were brought up to the guest relations upon checkout they looked at me and smiled. They said they know about ALL the issues!! Well tell your customers so they can go somewhere else!!!! I have videos/pictures of everything.
