So...the front desk checked us into a third floor in a building with a broken elevator. And the hotel was practically empty. Why? The room was so substandard. I had to fight to get the sink stop to open so it would stop collecting dirty water. It was so stuck. We found a roach in the bathroom. And I HATE roaches. The only thing this hotel ha going for it is that it's close to Universal and offers shuttle. Do yourself a favor...spend a little more and get a nicer place. At least a clean one.
The sink stop didn't work properly and dirty water couldn't go down the drain.
We found a roach in the bathroom. I could hardly sleep that night thinking there could be more in the room.

We didn’t stay. Rooms smelled moldy/musty. It appears they do try to keep the place clean but it’s old and smelly once you get to the room. Staff is very nice. If you’re sensitive to moldy/musty smells this isn’t for you. If you need a cheap place to stay and can deal with it then give it a try. Be nice to staff, they are helpful.

The hotel is not as depicted on advertisement. Front desk service was slow checking people in. The room smelled strongly of mold. There was visible mold on all the lap shades and curtains. The carpet appeared to have water damage around the walls. The TV was broken as well.

the room was decent, the “free” breakfast that’s not free because that’s the resort fee, was terrible. very few options. not worth it if you looking for a good free breakfast hotel. if you room says parking includes, be sure to screenshot it and save the image, because they will try to charge you $15 more at the property for it.

I asked several times for extra blankets and no one ever delivered them. The bathroom is outdated and rusted on the shower frame. The door lock was broken and the beds were extremely firm and pillows were awful

During our recent stay, we encountered several issues. The door did not close securely, requiring multiple attempts to latch properly. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the room did not meet our expectations, and the service provided was unsatisfactory. We were also disturbed by the housekeeping staff, who knocked on our door and entered the room twice before the scheduled check-out time, and subsequently contacted us via telephone, which created a sense of urgency.

Understaffed for check-in, making the process to last more than 1 hour at midnight, the conditions of the rooms are poor, and everything is breaking apart, smells old, and the breakfast is subpar, and now they charge the parking!!!! really? On the good side, the sheets and towels were very clean

I booked this hotel room sight unseen, and what a mistake that was. There was a huge line at check in, but it seemed ok at the reception area. Everything went south from there. After prepaying on Expedia, there were still amenity fees (even if not using the pool or continental breakfast) as well as a nightly parking fee per vehicle. So, another $60 total. The first room given was 4th floor and pool view. Opened the door and hit with the odor of mold. Found it growing on the walls, plumbing and upholstery. Immediately went back to the front desk for another room and was given new keys... To another room infested with black mold. It's on the walls, furniture, plumbing and even the headboards. I took photos and went back to the desk to ask what our options were. "Unfortunately, you booked with Expedia. We cannot give you a refund and we have no other rooms." Wow ... I'm at a loss. I paid for the trip protection insurance. Hopefully it will reimburse us for the room and other fees. We ended up leaving after calling customer support and booked another hotel. If you have COPD or a compromised immune system, book a room somewhere else. And make sure you pay the extra $10 for insurance. Just my 2¢.

The room was clean but the grounds weren’t and the bathroom in the lobby was gross. Breakfast was rough but it’s a hotel breakfast so idk. The fact that we had to pay a “resort fee” and for parking was pretty stupid

Worst experience of my life

Room dirty, toilet not bolted down, bathroom door wouldn’t close. Smoke detector covered with a plastic bag, room smelled of mold and mildew, pillows absolutely garbage, took 20 mins to get checked in with no one waiting, was given the wrong room which caused an incident as it was 2am and the occupant of the room was very very angry. This was the worst experience in all my 35 years of staying at hotels.
