The hotel was great, finding the entrance while doing a car rental return was not the easiest. GPS was often leading to the wrong spot.

Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando
This hotel desperately needs an upgrade, the rooms are so old it almost smells like mold, the sheets were very rough they felt like sandpaper, housekeeping definitely doesn’t change the sheets, when we took a shower the tub wasn’t draining and the carpet was soaked in some spots I’m pretty sure it ...

Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort
Could have been a little cleaner at the cabana as we rented. There was trash in the ground at our cabana in the corner.
