The staff was friendly. The linens were clean, the pool was clean, there is a decent gym and the parking is free. The building needs to be refurbished. The A/C units leak water that leaves puddles in the outside hallways. The carpeting on the inside of the room is stained and needs to be changed. I can see they are trying. It is a good place if you're not spending too much time in the room. .

Great hotel in a perfect location

The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant at the hotel was amazing! The only thing keeping me from giving a 5 star is that although they stated we would get room cleaning after the 3rd night, we never had our used towels removed.

Good stay

While the hotel is older, the room was very clean and the linens were clean and soft towels. Only thing I missed was having a chair to sit on. Door sticks and needs to be looked at, had some difficulty opening the door each time I used the pass card.

It is conveniently located for Universal. However, the door to enter the room was clearly broken into. You could see where a crowbar was used to pry it open. The other room had a hole where a lock once was. I was glad it was not just me and my daughter because I would not have stayed.

The chairs and table were sticky. The sheets were clean. The door to the room would not fully shut. We stacked our luggage against it.
