We were happy they accommodated early check in. Walking distance to the outlets and universal studios but the shuttle was convenient. Room was nice but layout of sink outside the bathroom was strange. Also woke up with multiple bug bites on 2 of the nights. Housekeeping only comes after 3rd night and the housekeeper did a really good job cleaning everything but unfortunately threw out a souvenir gift that was on a shelf in a universal studios gift bag.... waiting for follow up on that. Pool was nice but lots of birds so a lot of bird poop in the pool :/. Gym really needs an update. Overall clean and location is good

Receptionist Laziness

I hand over the receptionist my drive license so she can get my name for the reservation, she forgot to hand me back, she held it in the desk drawer instead to call my room and let me know that my DL was there, without knowing I drove without my DL to Kissimmee, when I realize I did not have it on me, luckily nothing bad happen, but when I went to the Lobby again and explained what happen, the person was on the desk did not even said he was sorry for the situation, I expect the Hotel have a procedure to call the guest room next time to say they kept the document in the lobby. I though that extremely unprofessional.
