Great stay!!

I haven’t stayed in a Best Western hotel for awhile and I glad I chose this Hotel. The front desk were very professionals and patients with questions not only from me but other guests as well. The room service was great and provided everything that we needed (hats off to them). Also, the hotel is very close to Universal parks and they have free shuttle to the parks, even though I did not use the shuttle but I heard from other guests that it was good. I wasn’t able to eat their free breakfast, late sleeper😁, but my daughter did and she said it was good. I did tried their free 24 hour coffee and it was very good. The hotel is kept clean at all times and doesn’t smell like other ones. The bed was very comfortable and the room is very spacious. I will definitely recommend this hotel and I will stay here next time Im in Orlando.

We stayed here to go to universal. Expedia listed the hotel with an 11 min walk to the park. It was more like a 27 min walk. Breakfast wasn’t anything great but still worked for kids.

Property is a good budget option. Walkable to Universal, though I wouldn’t walk alone or late at night. Easy to Uber to the parks, as a quicker / safer option. Breakfast is decent - particularly enjoyed the pancake machine.

Overall great stay and great staff

The staff was very friendly. Rooms were tended to appropriately. We had a toilet issue that was fixed before we returned. Each time we asked for room to be cleaned, the linens were changed. Only downfall was the vent did not work in the bathroom amd when we opened the toilet top to check why it wasnt flushing, it had mold on the rim. The AC faced directly on one side of the bed making it difficult to stay warm on that side but was able to put my luggage stacked by that side to kinda block it from hitting so much.

Nice staff, property is ok. Was given a room in a very noisy area, lots of foot traffic all day and night. Apparently the building has been having a problem with ants. Lots of them in and around the refrigerator, TV, and desk area. Budget hotel so not overly suprised. Free breakfast was ok. Universal shuttle picks up at 7:50am (park opens at 9am) and doesn't bring back until 5;30pm. So if you want to go later, have to Uber. Regardless of what they tell you, walking to Universal from the hotel is NOT convenient.

There were roaches in the room. Once we got in the room around 11 pm, we found a dead roach in the fridge. Then in the morning, we found alive roaches. This was a couple of hours before our check out. When I was checking out, I told the employee in the lobby. He thanked me for letting him know and explained to me that they would not give me a discount for such a situation. Pretty much he told me that I could have called them and they would have switched the room for me; even though, it was a couple of hours before check out time. When I told him I was sure this was not the only room with roaches because usually it would be the entire building or most of it, he said it was normal because a 20 year old building. I have been to many Best Western hotels in different cities in south Florida and it has always been a great experience, but this time, it was a very bad experience.

I stayed here for 2 nights I see a terminally ill family member. The first night we found 1 roach on the bathroom floor. The morning after there was another roach on the ceiling, later that night another roach in the bathroom. There were a bunch of tiny ants running wild on the night table from the moment we got in until we left. The sheets were clean but I noticed a stain on my bed. The property itself just seems older. The lobby has a dull, old smell. If that makes sense. The property need a major upgrade. I’ve stayed at other best western properties and this one just is not up to par with the others. I was disappointed and I’m glad I was out most of the day so I didn’t have to stay there. Once I saw the first roach I was turned off completely. You guys need an exterminator.
