The towels in the hotel were torn and they ran out of towels. When you called for something they would say I will get back to you and they never did. When you called back the men came to your service. The hotel was dirty.

Positives: Convenient location.

Negatives: Some of the hotel staff rude, some very accommodating.

When we checked in, the staff was very courteous and helpful. Our room, while aged, was well kept and clean. The continental breakfast was horrible. Small 3 inch cinnamon rolls, toast and two selections of cereal was it. Other hotel continental breakfasts have a lot more of a selection. Internet was sketchy at times but worked. Overall, I would stay at this hotel again but breakfast would be at Denny's.

Positives: Location to Orlando attractions, restaurants and International Drive night life.

Negatives: Lack of amenities and security.

This hotel was not too bad considering the price I paid. It was comfortable enough and the pretty clean. The air seemed to work better once we were there for a while. They need more shuttle times to area attractions since they only had one in the morning and one in the evening.

Positives: It was close to all area attractions; very friendly staff.

Negatives: The rooms and air conditioning could use renovating.

Awful! Worst experience ever! First of all, the noise: the hotel is right in front of an amusement park that stays open until 2am. Meaning no sleep before that, since the noise from the machines working and people yelling every time someone jumped from the bung jump are really loudly heard from the room. Second of all, the dirt: the room was not clean when we checked in. All linens and towels were used from previous guests. The comforters were in really bad conditions, with holes and a disgusting smell of old stuff, smelling as mold. Not enough dirt? There was FOOD under the bed! As well as used disposable cups. Not impressed? The food and the cups were not removed/cleaned at any moment while we stayed there (11 days!) I didn't clean because I wanted to see how far they would go with this kind of service. Far enough to chock anyone! I asked for clean towels and linen and they said they could only give us that the next day, when the housekeeping would clean the room. Anyone can imagine how bad it felt to have to go to sleep in used linens and no shower after a 9 hours flight. Disgusting, again. I had booked a room with 2 king size beds (it was written in my voucher), but the room they gave me had 2 single beds. Even showing my voucher they didn't do anything. They said they were fully booked. There wasn't a single day without trouble. The room was not fixed 3 times. How can a person be like this?! In 4 occasions there were no clean towels in the room when we arrived at night. Instead, there was a frightening note demanding that we gave back their towels that we were supposedly keeping to ourselves. In the only day we had the room clean and had towels, there was NO WATER! And that's not the end. We realized that they charged twice our credit card; not only that, what they were charging was consumed days AFTER we left the hotel! That's fraud! We had never been in such bad situation and don't wish it to anybody.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Noisy, dirty (extremely!), worst service ever seen.

Visited Orlando on a two day middle of the week, getaway golf trip. I wanted to keep most of my travel costs down because the greens fee is high. This hotel was not only inexpensive but better than I expected. The room was clean and the location of the hotel was near most of the attractions. The room even had an iron, safe, and refrigerator. Entry into the room was from the outside. For the purposes of my trip, I would recommend to everyone and I would definitely stay there again.

Positives: Location and Price.

Negatives: You can tell why its so inexpensive.

This hotel is good for people who are looking for a budget-conscious place to stay that is close to the action of the city.

Positives: The lobby staffs were friendly.

Negatives: The carpeting was dirty and sticky.

I would recommend this to my friends who plan to go to Orlando. When we go to Orlando again we will stay at the hotel again. The breakfast was the only bad part of the whole stay. Great job on making our honeymoon very enjoyable.

Positives: I liked the prompt service and very good location for younger people.

Negatives: The cont. breakfast wasnt stocked up and not clean.
