I understood it was being renovated but in my opinion it’s not suitable for booking at this time. The walls and tub in the bathroom were very damaged. There were roaches everywhere on the furniture and some in the walls. The air conditioner stunk when turned on and the room itself had an awful smell. I waited 20 min to get checked in with no apology for the wait time. Not worth the price! It was terrible!!!
Fourth stay at this hotel. Definitely my Orlando home. Love the staff, the service, the location. Simple and affordable but everything you need! Love it for EDC Orlando! Staff accommodated my best friend and I as we wished and made us feel at home. The manager is a beautiful woman who is helpful and her staff are well trained. They will see me again soon
The hotel was under renovations which was not advertised on the website. The room Head molding coming off the walls. We were in our room and somebody else used it there key to get in our room and it unlocked the door. And due to the renovations the pool was closed And so was the continental breakfast. The room I stayed in the shower. Bar was not attached to the wall. And I got one towel. Then I had an unexpected family emergency. And I had paid for the whole week and only been there one night. And they refuse to give me a refund. I would not recommend this hotel
Estan en remodelacion no tienen picina ni laundry abierto
Hice la reservacion para 3 y solo había una toalla encontre una pequeña cucaracha
El cuarto tenia buen olor pero los pasillos huelen a sigarro solo lo recomiendo si vas una sola noche a dormir y solo porque es barato
The hotel has a very good location but the cleanliness is poor. The room was only cleaned once in a 6 night stay. There were cockroaches in the room. The pool was not available and there was no breakfast. They only had coffee in the lobby but it was not always available. I had visited the hotel in previous years but found it to be in disrepair.
The hotel stay was the worse experience I've ever have with a hotel, yes it was cheaper then normal but the pictures of this hotel were lies. The toilet was hard to flush my wife found bed bugs and not to mention the beds were very uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.
It's the most disgusting, dirty, grimy awful place I have ever stayed at. There is blood splatter, bugs; both dead and alive, dirt everywhere, hair everywhere... It was deplorable.
This properly need a real renovation, they shouldnt been renting rooms untill the full hotel turn in to a decent place to staying, pictures postednat app looks nothing like the rea
