Pros +

  • This is an unsafe place. It should be avoided
  • Great location to Universal, big pool, helpful & pleasant staff, night security, no parking charge!
  • The hotel is very clean and convenient to Universal!

Cons -

  • Filthy. Terrible safety issues. Believe they had a bunch of paid reviews as there is no way they rate a 10 in anything
  • Could not have asked for better with the price point!
  • I booked this hotel because it offered a "suite" and I looked at a few pictures and figured it was a good deal. First I was shocked upon arrival to find out it was more of a motel with outside rooms instead of a hotel.
