Housekeeping only comes to service your room if you request it the day before - super inconvenient. Also, you have to pay a $23/day fee to park your car on property - I didn't see that detail anywhere when we booked the room and it added a tidy sum to the overall cost of the stay.

Close to universal but limited shuttle service to and from. A few good places to eat or order nearby and close to a Walgreens and a good walk to an outlet mall. A microwave in the room would have been nice. Avis at the lobby was super convenient, Starbucks, arcade, ice cream shop, too but the rooms seem to be due for a refresh, although clean.

Likes. Check in was easy but it was 330 am. Dislikes. Only one pillow on each queen bed for four guest. 30 dollars to park car per day. 25 each for tired flavorless breakfast buffet. 3.82 for a small coffee at little bar . Never heard of Make an appointment to get room cleaned. We were there three nights never had a bed made or a new towel. You say it’s convenient for the guest to schedule there own cleaning time . Great pool but whoever designed it put no thought into where it’s located by 2 pm the sun is behind the pool so your in the shade. One small bar of soap. So u can wash your face or bring it into shower with you. I guess if you schedule to have room clean you might get a new soap. The only thing u get for free is the air. But let me check my bill when I get a copy of it

The property was easy to find. It was directly across from Universal Orlando Resort. We were only staying overnight. Upon entering the room we saw it was well appointed, modern, and spacious. The bathroom was madern as well, but that was where the good things ended. The shower was a stand up unit with a sliding glass door. It had a modern drain. Only issue was to turn on the shower, you had to enter the shower and unfortunately that meant getting blasted by icy cold water! It was unpleasant. On closer inspection, there was mold and mildew throughout the shower, on fixtures, tile & grout, and the door sliding mechanism. We also has no wash cloths, and no hand towels. I also noticed that after walking barefoot into the bathroom for a shower, my feet were dirty, as if i'd picked up the grime from the carpet on my way in. I am a housekeeper who has worked every facet of the industry and kept a 14 minute/room pace, and I am well aware of the labor shortage we are experiencing. A simple solution of bleach water can clean almost all of that in 2 minutes. For a simple overnight stay, it was serviceable. If I was doing a longer stay, I'd have been more upset. Checkout was seemless, and exiting was easy.

We appreciate the feedback, Laurie. We regret that your time with us was less than ideal as providing our guests with a pleasant experience is very important to us. It's unfortunate our bathrooms and grilled food as well as our drinking pricing provided challenges for your stay. We hold ourselves to a higher standard so we'll address your concerns with our team moving forward. We do hope you give us another opportunity to share a more positive experience with you soon.
