    proximity to attractions, lowest rates in the area, shuttle service to theme parks

    Mandatory stair access for all guests, including heavy luggage!!! Poor room cleaning practices, leading to hygiene issues and discomfort!!! Everything from the bathroom fittings to the worn-out furniture could use an overhaul!!!

    I loved the bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the hotel. The staff were wonderfully accommodating, which made it easy for us seniors to feel comfortable and enjoy our vacation. The location was fantastic, close to all attractions.

    Could improve accessibility features for seniors in bathrooms.

    cleanliness issue

    The friendly reception staff made our stay so pleasant, and we loved relaxing by the pool and exploring the garden area. While we enjoyed the free breakfast and the swimming pool, the only downside was that our room could have been cleaner. I recommend bringing some snacks for the vending machines, just in case you get hungry between meals! 😊

    dirty room
    noisy a/c

    The room was pretty disappointing. It was dirty and had bugs, which was a major turn-off. The A/C was old and super noisy, making it hard to sleep. The bathroom wasn’t clean either, just felt really outdated. At least the sheets were clean, but it could’ve used a serious deep clean. No extra cleaning service unless you paid extra, which was annoying.

    convenient location
    room cleanliness

    We had a fantastic time staying here with a group of friends! We visited Universal Studios and made memories at SeaWorld, which made our vacation special. The outdoor pool was great for relaxing after our adventures. The hotel staff was helpful, and the location was super convenient for the parks. Just a note, the breakfast is pretty simple but did the trick.

    Unfortunately, the room cleanliness wasn't ideal. We noticed some areas that could have used a good scrub, which was disappointing.

    Awesome spot! It’s right on the strip, tons of places within walking distance, and the vending machines are a bonus! I also loved the vibrant colors in the lobby area.

    Felt totally relaxed, no complaint.

    The bright and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home, while the accommodating staff were as helpful as a friendly neighbor bringing over a pie. It's a lovely setting that truly shines, especially for us seniors!

    Improved bathroom accessibility features for seniors needed.

    Great location and wonderful breakfast!

    I recently stayed for 9 nights and loved how close everything was, especially the convenience for visiting the parks! The beds were super comfortable, and the breakfast offered a variety of options. Although the cleanliness could use some improvement, the friendly staff made our stay enjoyable.

    outdoor pool
    family-friendly location
    poor cleanliness

    We loved the outdoor pool area, perfect for making new memories with the kids and our dog. The hotel was conveniently located near all the fun attractions, which made it easy to explore the city. Overall, a great base for our family trip!

    In my wife’s opinion, the cleanliness needs a lot of work. The rooms could use some repairs and updates as well. a vacuum would do wonders here.

    I had a decent stay, except for the room being way different from the photos online. Check-in was quick, but the breakfast selection was limited. Definitely not what I expected!

    The facilities were clean and the staff were really courteous. Also, the air conditioning in the rooms worked perfectly despite the summer heat, which was a game changer for me!

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but acceptable considering the circumstances.

    convenient location
    dirty room
    unclean flooring
    poor maintenance

    The superior room had decent amenities, but cleanliness was a major concern, especially with laminate flooring that showed dirt. The hotel provided good value for budget travelers, and the nearby dining options were convenient. Unfortunately, the overall sanitation and upkeep left much to be desired, impacting the experience negatively.
