Sort of secluded but very good choice if you go to Universal. We were able to walk there and took us 20 minutes. Dining options within walking distance abd also a walgreens nearby. Staff very helpful. We forgot a medication in the fridge after checkout and they kept it for us. Breakfast was ok, pancajes, eggs and sausages plus milk, yoghurt and fruits. Would stay again.

Great stay!

A great stay! I stayed here for a girls trip with my daughter to Universal and it was the distance was amazing! I absolutely loved the beds personally but all the pillows were super soft with no firm option so keep that in mind if you need firmer pillows. The staff was very friendly! Will definitely stay here again!!

Cockroach infested

Woke up with a cockroach in my bed. Went to the front desk to inform them. Was accused of bringing it in in my luggage. Worst place ever would not recommend this place.

There were several positives about this property. The rooms were a good size and the fridge was superior to most I’d seen in similar rooms. The area was quiet with restaurants within easy walking distance and the Walgreens nearby was wonderful. The rooms are showing some age with a fairly flimsy air conditioner. We had it at 65 and it could still feel warm at times. The bathtub was also showing some age. It does appear as if some upgrades are in the works. The breakfast was average. Not as good as other best westerns we’ve stayed at. Overall, we were disappointed with some of the front desk staff. They couldn’t answer some simple questions and generally seemed disengaged. The hotel is in walking distance to universal but be aware it is more like 20-25 minutes to the park entrances
