Pros - * Price ($501 for a 4 night stay but received a $100 gift card promotion) * Service- great great friendly service. Always greeted upon entry. No language barriers. Quick to fix any issues. Put the tv in English, gave me food delivery advice, provided extra blankets, etc. * Location- within 30 min walking distance to almost everything you’ll need: * Walgreens (2 min) * outlet mall (20 min) * food (1-20 min depending on where) * UO/IOA (25 min) * Rooms have a Microwave and large mini fridge- that actually cools * Good water pressure and hot * Travel sized Soap, lotion, conditioner included and mounted on the wall in the shower for use. * Large fluffy towels * Has a shuttle to Universal. Basic charter bus setup. If you have a wheelchair, you’ll need to call ahead. No motorized devices authorized. Arrives at 0755 and leaves pretty quickly once boarded. We waited about 3 minutes. Stops at 3 other hotels in the area on the way to the park. We left our hotel at 0759 arrived at the park at 0822. Spot #83 where the other charter bussed pick up. All the way to the end past the universal Orlando resort buses. Arrived to pick us up promptly at 1730. The driver will ask which hotel you came from and only visit those for which he has passengers. We were the second drop off at 1739 * Drink choices. They had juice machine with four options, a coffee machine with 5 (I think) options and a hot beverage machine with about 12 different options. The just “ok” * Thin blankets but they’ll give you extras if you ask. * shuttle times - only once at 0755/1730 * Dining seating- cramped, like 10-12 inches between tables once ppl sit. * Breakfast was meh. Staff is friendly and attentive. Basic muffins, sausage, eggs, yogurt bar, toast, pancakes, cereal, fruit, bagels, milk, coffee, and juice. Neg- * Spanish audio tv with English subtitles seemed standard in the rooms * Outdated- table wobbly AF. Drawers on dresser hanging on by a thread * NOT super close to universal as advertised - .5 mile as the crow flies but 1 mile on foot. Took us about 25 minutes at a leisurely pace. * Walls are thin and you hear rushing water every time anyone uses water in adjacent rooms * Old ac units. Smells musty. * The breakfast roach. Although, this was the only one I saw during our 5 days. There is a very large exit door attached to the dining area so it’s likely that it came from outside. But still, it was disturbing to have a roach crawl up the wall next to us while we were eating. Notes * Ride share: Uber was between seven and eight dollars in the morning (before tip) and around nine to $11 returning around seven at night. Lyft was a bit cheaper by a dollar or two. Lyft also offers the option to “wait for a cheaper fare.” We opted this on night two and selected wait 15 minutes for a $6 fare. The driver was still there in two minutes. Just a note- ride share pickup is AT THE TOP of the Jurassic Park parking garage and you need to know what color zone your driver parked in. This was very confusing as the garage is not well marked. It says rideshare until you get to Jurassic Park garage and then says nothing to indicate which of the five floors it’s on. * If you rent a car, parking is free. Highly recommend this. We rented a car on day two for the remainder of our trip, three more days. It was only $100. If we had rented it from the airport when we arrived, we would’ve saved a ton of money on Ubers and a ton of time walking around. Highly recommend this if you plan to see stuff in the area outside of universal.

Very attentive staff at front desk. Breakfast was good. Room was great and a very good location. Universal was an easy walk for access to city walk and restaurants. Overall I would recommend this hotel if your are visiting Universal Orlando.

We have stayed here many times. Usually before going to Disney or when I've been in town for business. Hotel is clean, breakfast is good and it's close to literally everything! We often walk to Miller's for delicious food and drinks. Great location!

The room was in poor condition, the air conditioning unit wasn’t working and the next morning we woke up and had sugar ants all over our things in the bathroom. We told the front desk the situation and asked for another room on the other side of the hotel but they seemed apathetic, so we checked out and went to another hotel.

20 minutes walk from Universal Studios. Safe neighborhood. Place was clean, friendly staff and good breakfast with a lot of choices, but could be more tables. Big parking lot. Would go back again for sure.

Open the door to your room and instantly notice the closet door is not hanging correctly. No big deal, closet door off its track. In this case the doors and track are at the point of needing replacement. Then notice the shower valve handle is loose. A quick look around and the room just looks beat up. Turn the Air conditioner on and go to dinner. Come back and the room is still not cool. Contact the front desk and a room change is being prepared. Then notice the mold/mildew on the ceiling above the AC. After the room change find the closet and shower valve handle in the same condition. It is a handicap room, so the shower head is placed on a sliding bar that doesn't go near high enough for me. Only thing necessary to fix that problem would have been a longer bar. At check out, I explain what I observed and the condition of the rooms. The response was not, I am sorry ... The response was, Thank you for the information.

I am a Best Western Member. I stay in hotels 50+ nights a year. In my opinion, this location should not be branded as a Best Western Plus. We had two rooms. Our toilet was broken. The tub in my in-laws room was not clean. One of our bright exceptions, we were allowed to drop our bags off in the lobby, the negative, we had a late check-in because the rooms were not ready. The "walk" to Universal is false advertising, especially if you have senior citizens or children, which we did. The hotel had a dank smell, could have been the large number of guests in town for the EDM festival, but could have been the hotel itself as well. We come to Orlando at least once a year, but we will not be staying here again. For the price difference, we will be staying at one of the Disney or Universal Properties. Even if I was by myself on a business trip, I would not stay here again. Just disappointing overall. Hopefully it will improve.

Mattresses were dirty, front desk was friendly at check in however didn’t address us outside of that and saying thanks for the keys. Breakfast was cheaply prepared and poor ingredients (machines were unusual for yogurt dispenser and pancake maker) if you eat cereal or bread you might be okay… hallways smelled awefully like mold and

Great hotel for the price in the area. Close to Universal studios and the I trolley bus that has a stop nearby. Included good breakfast saves you money as everything around is expensive. 20 minutes walk to universal studios. Good hotel for those who don’t go to orlando to spend lots of time in their rooms or on the property.
