There are so many options available near universal and we simply picked this one. The hotel is clean, offers many breakfast items, and the shuttle to universal is free and convenient to use saving you a $15 parking fee each day. We recommend it to others. Our only request of the property is that they equip each room with two... More

Accomodated our needs for 2 connecting rooms. Rooms clean and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Charlotte gave us good advice. Breakfast was good but boring after 2-3 days. Overall a good stay and would stay there again. Suggest Millers Orlando Ale House accross the street for good food and value More

We just returned from a visit to Orlando. We chose this hotel for its location but will NEVER stay here again. After a day spent at Universal, we returned to our room about 6:30 pm on January 15 only to find that our phone charger had been demolished (see photos). The charger was left plugged in behind the night stand.... More

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights this past August with our 2 children. It's very close to Universal. In fact, we could see the tops of the roller coasters from our room. The breakfast provided every morning is the best complimentary breakfast at any hotel I've ever stayed at. They constantly replenish it and clean up the counters... More

We stayed here Jan 1 to Jan 5, 2012. We booked this room as part of a Harry Potter Universal package because it met what we were looking for--close to Universal, queen beds, decent breakfast, microwave/refrigerator, and hot tub. We had 2 rooms for 6 of us. We arrived early, but they were able to get us in before 2:00.... More

We arrived early at the hotel as we were already in town. I asked staff if it was possible to check in early and after staff checked for an available room, we were allowed to do so. Staff (Manny) was very helpful. We stayed from 12/22-24.Parking is free. We were in a 2 queen room. The room was a decent... More

We were fortunate to "happen" to stay here when we visited Orlando. The hotel manager where we originally had reservations told us that his hotel was full of dogs and that we would be very uncomfortable, so he recommended the Wingate to us. He even called them to book a room for us and I am SO GLAD he did!... More

Not a luxury resort but this hotel offers great value for money, if you are visiting Universal Studios. Wireless internet, Whirl pool, Exercise room, Park shuttle and breakfast all included at less than a third of the price of a major resort hotel. How much time do you spend in your room nyway ? Spacious rooms and public areas were... More

My fiance and I traveled to this hotel to visit Sea World and we were greeted by a helpful front desk woman (not sure of her name but she was wearing glasses). She recommended great restaurants, gave us a Sea World brochure, and was very hospitable. She was the ONLY good thing about this hotel! Our room had a very... More
