It makes no sense that you are being charged for parking as a guest when you are already paying the high rate the stay. The beds are old and very uncomfortable. Then they try to appease you with water bottle and burned cookies. I am still awaiting my bill receipt and its been a week. I told them no one should leave vacation feeling like they need a vacation/spa day. When we got there we had to request clean sheets as there stains on them and a full face of make-up on the pillow.

The property was extremely clean, and the staff was very helpful and nice. There could have been two things improved upon better lighting in the room and another option other than Starbucks for coffee. It’s a very nice place to stay and I would highly recommend it.

Excellent location but subpar staff and service

Great location but dated room and unhelpful staff. Had constant issues with front desk to include disrespectful interactions. Persistent parking issues the front desk kept deflecting with excuses instead of solutions. The pizza burger to go restaurant had subpar and disrespectful service as well. The only positive this place has going for it is the proximity to Universal and the very helpful Universal desk personnel in the lobby.

Nice hotel but has parking fee.

It’s an older property but seemed fairly clean. The room was big and the beds were comfy. Several good restaurants adjacent to the property. There was a fridge and coffee maker but no microwave which was disappointing as I use hot packs for my back. The $33/night parking fee was also a surprise and we were there for 4 nights. I feel that was excessive and I’ve stayed at many other Disney area resorts with free parking. Just won’t stay here again. Too bad.
