Unacceptable
Got in the front desk around 1am and was told there wasn’t room available for us. Front desk made us wait for 40 min until send us to another hotel 15 min from the one we had booked.

Great stay but per night parking fee
Stay was great. The only part that we didn’t like is having to pay for parking per day. Rooms were clean and comfortable to sleep in.

Needs updates for sure, but good location.
Outdated, bathroom sink was chipping. Sink was clogged and they didn’t send anyone to fix it like promised when I called. Toilet didn’t flush well and we had to lift up the tank lid to flush and they didn’t come to fix it like they promised when I called either. There wasn’t a fan in the bathroom either and it smelled moldy. Parking scanner didn’t work and we had to call every single time we went in or out after paying a lot to park there. We stay here every year and it seems like it went way downhill this time. We won’t be returning next year. Best thing about this place is the location which was amazing as usual!

Kind of crappy
One of the elevators on our side of the building was out when we checked in. Hotel was packed and it took forever to get up and down the elevators. By the end of the stay only one was working. If I wasn’t on the 15th floor I would have taken the stairs. Generally just crappy hotel

Poor parking
The hotel and the room were nice. My only complaint is the parking is ridiculous. For $33/night I shouldnt have to wait 5+ minutes for someone to buzz me into the parking lot or out of it to leave. Im not sure where the parking lot attendants were, but they sucked at their job. This qould be the only reason why i never stay here again.

The place was quiet, the staff was very friendly and polite. The entrance to universal from the hotel doors is like a 7-10min walk and super easy. I will definitely be back.

Meh
Apparently there was a youth football event going on in Orlando, and there were thousands of kids everywhere, very loud. The line to check in was extremely long and they only had two people working.
Housekeeping comes early, before checkout has started.
The shower door wouldn’t stay closed, so the bathroom floor got soaked.
They will nickel and dime you for everything - parking was $33. Breakfast is an additional fee.
