The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. The staff were very nice. We brought our dog and he loved it as well. There was plenty of room for him in the suite because there is a whole other room for him to roam. There were areas outside to walk him which included “clean up” areas with bags and a garbage. The only negative was that the hot tip wasn’t working. We will definitely stay here again.

This hotel is really nice. Clean rooms, beautiful room and bathroom. Our adjoining room door was not working so we called the front desk. The maintenance man was there in seconds. The food in the cafe in the lobby is DELICIOUS. The lobby is beautiful too. We would stay here again. The buildings are two story so there isn’t an elevator. Not a problem. The cafe is open till 12am. No buffet breakfast, but believe me I’d rather pay for and eat delicious food.

Nice hotel. Near universal so very convenient. Only issue is you can hear all outside noise when you’re in the room, which I guess is to be expected being pretty close to main roads. Staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean and did not smell stuffy.

Would Stay Here Again Anytime!

The entire place was clean and welcoming. From the lobby to the restaurant and cafe, to the room. Staff was very nice and helpful. The food at the hotel was great! The indian coffee was delicious. Very close walk to Universal and a few other places to eat. I would defiantly stay here again over the near by hotels.
