I was a little skeptical at first due to some of the other reviews but it was a very spacious room. It was a clean room. We checked in at night and had a great experience with the man working front desk. Housekeepers were all very nice as well. The hallways should be updated especially the carpet but the AC in the room was great. Free breakfast bar, and free parking.

The hotel was clean and the staff were very nice and friendly. However, the air conditioning unit was extremely loud and kept us awake for half the night, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Overall, the stay was pleasant in terms of cleanliness and service, but the noise from the air conditioning was a major downside.

Great place to sleep for quick overnight trip. Breakfast was really good. Room was clean. The only downside was that we were on the 4th floor and shower had very little water pressure. We would visit again.

The bathroom was partially clean. The staff at the reception provided wrong information about public transportation. Good things about this place, it’s that is closed to the airport. I had a. Last minute layover and work ok. Breakfast was super good! But no shuttle from the Orlando airport.

I’ve stayed here a few times because it’s affordable, well located and well worth the extras. Beds are comfy and place smells clean. Free breakfast included price. Pool, laundry and gym. Can’t beat it. The rooms are loud due to the older ac units so bring plugs if that bothers you.
