If you are looking for a "no-frills", clean hotel near Universal, this is a great option! We didn't spend much time in the hotel, but the on-site laundry, while busy at night, was handy. The pool was clean. We were looking for a reasonable place to stay to enjoy Universal and this was perfect for us. We like to walk and it was an easy 1 mile walk to/from City Walk (Universal and Islands of Adventure). We walked to and from Universal each day since the free shuttle options weren't right for our time schedule. Additionally, there are lots of restaurants and a great outlet mall all within a mile or two of the hotel. The hotel has free, on-site parking which was extremely helpful. Also, this hotel is an easy 15-20 minute drive to the airport.
