This was a last minute trip to Orlando for the Citrus Bowl and a day at Universal. The hotel was perfect for us. Comfortable, easy to get to, and nice staff. Loved the free shuttle to Universal.

Good choice, walking distance from the outlets
It is not a hotel, it’s a motel. It is simple but very nice. I didn’t like that they charge extra to use the safe which I consider is needed because I didn’t see any cameras around the property and being a motel you can get inside easily from the street without anyone noticing. The other issue I found odd is that the housekeeping service for the room is every third day and you have to request it at the front desk one day before around noon; the thing with this is that, for starters, you have to remember which day to request it and then be there at the requested lapse of time to schedule it. I stayed 5 night and cleaning didn’t happen…not a big issue for me but surely not used to it. Apart from these it is a good choice and would definitely return.

Overall our stay was fine. We were in the separate building from the main hotel and it was extremely loud. Felt like the walls were paper thin. Beds were not comfortable either. The staff was good and hotel was clean but do not recommend if you’re looking for a quiet spot.

Terrible rooms. This place is over glorified cheap motel with rude front desk people. I am disappointed with hotels dot com reviews. They are not true. Even if you spend some extra money goto a near by better hotels. The rooms are like match boxes. Shame
