The the room was smaller than it appeared in the advertising pictures. I was assigned to a room that had a connecting room next to it the walls were very thin as far as sound barrier goes! I have never had such an experience, as the conversation from the guest in the next room were as loud as if they were talking right beside me! I spoke to the front desk about getting me assigned to one of the few rooms I noticed that didn't have a connecting room. I was told that they didn't have any available at the time. That was the big negative about the experience of my two night stay there. Needless to say I will not be staying at this hotel again!! 1

For the cost and the closeness to Universal Studios (with the offering of a free shuttle) it worked out great.

Not sure how it's 3 star
Not sure how this is a 3 star hotel. Felt more like a cheap motel. The reception area and little cafe were cute, and the landscaping was nice, but the rooms were not very clean. There was a weird smell, discoloration all over the bathroom sink, and exposed wires in the bathroom. Their idea of "updating" was spray painting the lamps and poorly repainting the walls in what looked like endless layers. One of the rooms keys they gave us didn't work. Should be a 2-star motel.

The property is showing its age, but the staff and are great. The location is also really good with many Orlando attractions close by. I was able to rent an e-scooter to get to most places I wanted to, or just walk.

Overall i enjoyed my stay, but stuff like locking the guests only direct door into the lobby after a certain time, limiting them to a buzzer (most of the time nobody listens for) so you have to walk around the entire building to walk through the front most of the time. Quite silly, actually.
