I arrived a little early before check in time. The staff was helpful and understandable and was able to let me check in. The property is going through some renovations but it didn’t bother our stay. The location is perfect, several restaurants and alot of activities to do nearby. Free breakfast was a plus. Overall a great stay.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival, I had to request a room change due to a strong, musty odor! The carpets were soaked with water. We chose this hotel for its location and price—I know I can’t expect a 5-star experience given what we paid—but it’s truly horrible. There’s a musty smell, and the carpets are wet from the air conditioning. This place barely deserves one star; everything is very old. I will say, however, that the breakfast is quite good. I wouldn’t return… the beds aren’t comfortable, and I have bites—I’d rather not think about the possibility of dust mites.

Room was essentially clean, beds kind of hard and I recommend to bring a blanket since the ones there are thin, it gets noisy in the morning but the drapes help blackout the light from outside, breakfast was great for the price and the staff is friendly overall good place if you don't wanna break the bank while staying at the theme parks.

Room and pool was clean and staff was amazing. Hallways had a strange smell as did our room first day but a little air freshener and letting our ac run the entire time helped. There was construction going on in nearby rooms that we weren’t told about. It woke us up a few days but we weren’t told sleeping in and it didn’t start until 10am. Breakfast was good but lacked variety. Overall a good budget stay near the parks if you don’t plan on spending much time in your room. Epic drive: 8mins Universal: 20mins Airport: 38mins

Front desk receptionist was nice, the front area is not bad. The elevator is so unkept and has tape all over peeling up and all dirty looking on the bottom not sure why. The rooms look decent, beds are super hard and you can feel the wires. The bathrooms are in DESPERATE need of a facelift. Doors are beat up, shower is beat up, prob haven’t been updated since they built it .
