I booked this hotel from 4-7 July to have a resting place after a long day in universal studio. We took a LYNX bus 42 from MCO airport, 45mins to 1hour and walk around 15 minutes to hotel.
The hotel provide a free shuttle bus(20 seater bus) to go to universal studio Orlando at 8.25am(only one timing and will go to other nearby hotels to pick up passengers) and pick up at 6pm(only one timing) from universal studio. I highly suggest to wait at the hotel entrance 10-15 mins before the pick up timing to get seats. No advance reservation needed.
Uber less than 10USD back to hotel.
We got room 313. Two queen beds, bed is comfy and enough pillows. Enough clothing racks/hanger. Only mini fridge is available in the room. No water kettle. Microwave only available at the front desk
Cleanliness was good, from the bedroom to the bathroom. Bathroom amenities are only shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion.
Housekeeping is done daily.
Breakfast is from 6am to 10am, only hard boiled egg, cereals, milk, yoghurt, apple juice, orange juice, bagels, jams, cream cheese, and oatmeal.
Free coffee, tea, and hot water 24 hours.
Hotel location is pretty far from all attractions. Need to drive or take uber to go to malls and attractions

Great location, close to everything: the airport, restaurants, Walmart, and bus stops. It has a pleasant, family-friendly atmosphere. Perfect for a trip to Universal Orlando, especially with the super convenient free shuttles. Housekeeping is done daily, and the room is comfortable, even though the decor is a bit dated and the cleanliness isn't perfect. Overall, excellent value for money.

So all 3 morning the coffee was not working and on Sunday they had waffles but they were plugged in by an extension cord that kept coming undone
The rooms were blah, old for sure. Location excellent for Hollywood studios without staying on property.
If you are only sleeping and don't like coffee this is fine.
But I would not recommend the hotel if you planned to hang low for a day in between park hoping.
Amazing stay in hotel in reasonable price not far from all Orlando Parks (Disney, Sea World, Universal). Outstanding service at the reception - Klara will help you with everything to make your stay as great as possible.
We stayed here for a layover in Miami and we felt the value for money was very fair. We were so happy to have the convenience of being right at the gate and ready for our connection the next day. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and the amenities were well sufficient.
Admittedly the room was a little noisy as you can hear the water pipes running really well when someone is taking a shower. But we would stay there again when having a layover.
It’s true that other hotels around the airport offer similar standard and amenities at a bit of a lower price, but when coming in late and tired, I don’t fancy waiting for a shuttle bus that stops at 7 more hotels. And in the morning having to wait and hope you fit on the right shuttle or plan on taking the earlier shuttle just in case…is time consuming and inconvenient too. Of course you can take a taxi or uber to your hotel, but by the time you paid for the way there and back, you might as well paid the same (or more) as for a night at the airport hotel.
We will stay there again for sure, especially if our planes comes in light and the connection requires an early start at check-in and TSA.
Very comfortable room, spacious and properly lit. The bed is very comfortable helping the tired body of the traveler recovered after a night snooze.
Friendly staff that is willing to help and assist in every way. Free shuttle to the airport is an added benefit.

Stayed for a weekend with my children. The hotel is somewhat dated but very clean. It does have a restaurant of which we did not dine in and they also have a store to buy snacks and drink. It closes at 1 am which was nice. A very small arcade is on the grounds and the location to the theme parks are very convenient especially with the provided shuttle service. The front staff was very accommodating and provided all and any questions that I had. Take note that there is a $50 deposit which will be returned within a few business days depending on your banking institution. Overall I would say it’s a good hotel to stay for a weekend to take advantage of the proximity to IDrive, Pointe Orlando ( it’s literally next door and has a movie theater too with a bunch of stores and restaurants) and the parks.
The service is attentive and very polite. The room are spacious and the hotel has all the facilities including a 24/hr gym. Bed are comfortable with crispy linen but it is a dated facility which badly needs a change of carpeting and some bathrooms modernization. Overall a pleasant stay between flights
Everything about the hotel was great. It’s very beautiful inside and it has four working elevators that are very quick. I think everybody’s favorite amenity was the pool in the hot tub. It was very beautiful out there and the hot tub featured a waterfall. The kids really enjoyed being at the pool. The bartender made probably one of the best Bahama mamas I’ve ever had! The breakfast was pretty good also.
Very Good

CCarmelWe liked our stay at this hotel. Liked the location and our room.
Staff are accommodating.
Breakfast was good but hopefully a breakfast buffet will be available too so as to have more options for the free breakfast included.
Definitely would rebook here for future travels and staycations.
GGuest UserRocketstay is awful. Pain to use, slow, cumbersome, check in extraordinarily late so they can charge extra to check in early, extremely early check out. This place was advertised at $130/night, and at the end of the rocketstay fees it was $200/night. Not worth it.
EEvanFirstly SUPER CLEAN! Inside AND Outside. CLEEEAN! Usually I hate hotels with carpet, but it was so clean I genuinely felt comfortable taking my socks off!!! And after one full night of walking basically barefoot through the room the bottom of my feet were clean!!!!! And the beds are SO COMFORTABLE!!!! I really only have two negative things to say which I will stay below.
The Front Desk lady at first Kind of acted as if I was slightly bothersome, Which rubbed Me the wrong way at first especially after she informed me that there was a $50 deposit which was not told to me earlier over the phone or before purchasing a room or after. And at first she was uncaring. But they were busy, I have a job as well and sometimes I can be slightly shorter with some customers, it's never anything personal, we're human, but at the end of it she actually made an exception to the deposit because I was not informed. Which totally made up what I felt at first. She actually turned out to be very kind and caring. so this negative one actually wasn't that negative.. lol
Now .. the breakfast 😂. PITIFUL!!! It's not nasty. Or gross.. it's just, bleh.. beagles. Bread. Maybe ONE hot dish if your lucky. Only decent thing is One Waffles maker for a HUGE hotel. Which most hotels That serve breakfast. So again it's not bad, just nothing special.. one could even say subpar, I mean the Comfort suites which is right across the street which is much cheaper has two times better breakfast.. but nothing compares to the Home2 rooms. The rooms make up for the lousy breakfast.
The bathrooms!! Have FULL bottles of really good conditioner, shampoo on my antibody wash as well as hand soap and lotion. The Smart Tvs are AWESOME! Incredibly high definition and pretty big!! And the walls are pretty thick and soundproof, you might hear a door open or close next to you once in awhile but you don't really hear people talking or any noises from your neighbor other than the occasional door shutting or opening.
And I just have to speak on the breakfast part one more time, their breakfast bar the way it's set up you would think it was going to be so extravagant. When it's worse than. Comfort suites and comfort suites set. Is ... Let's just say not humbled, lol. It definitely less extravagant come up with the breakfast is decent, I have at least two to three hot items.
Fix your breakfast and I'll give you five stars all day on everything!!!
Oh yeah they also have a gym, as well as fire pits outside which is pretty cool!! And my room, which was the king sweet came with a full size couch, ottoman and what looks like a half kitchen basically with a dishwasher and full sink and even dishes!!

MMaria PortoExcellent location and very convenient for anyone visiting Universal Studios. Pools are a must and the hotel is very friendly overall. Highlights: airport shuttle (paid, Universal ShuttleStar), bus transportation to Citywalk all day every couple minutes (included), park early entrance (included), pools open till 10pm, market and Starbucks in the lobby. And, the biggest plus for me was the fact that they don’t have a strict check in rule: as long as they have a room available, you may check in (if you’re traveling in crazy hours with kids, this makes all the difference!).
Staff is great, very friendly and helpful despite the hotel being very busy at all times.
Rooms are clean - you don’t get service everyday but you can ask for anything and they leave you at your door. Again, despite the hotel being very crowded, kids running everywhere, everything was clean at all times.
Will definitely stay again.
GGuest UserThe hotel has a good environment, a good location, and good lobby service. The elevator was out of order, so I had to wait a long time to go downstairs. The hotel facilities are a bit old.
GGuest UserFirst off, I would stay here again without any hesitation.
Let's cover the great: Location is amazing. More than adequate available free parking that is well-lit and feels safe. Super helpful staff. Comfortable beds. Hot water paired with great a great shower head. Air conditioning that actually works whether you're in the room or not. Across the street from a Wawa. Well kept maintenance. Hotel has WiFI. Shuttle service to Universal Studios. Orlando is built over swamps, so every hotel has insects, but this one seems to have the bug problem very well under control.
Let's cover the not-so-great: Sure, breakfast is free and features proteins, but you'll be thankful there's a Wawa across the street. The timing is very limited for the shuttles and Uber is only $6 or so each way to either Universal or Epic. You're paying $20 per day for that Wifi, shuttle you won't use, and breakfast you try on the first day and won't return for. Resort fees are like those locking nugnuts and other bribes you have to pay to buy a new car. They're obnoxious, but you're stuck with it.
Again, I'd definitely stay here again and the negatives are just being nitpicky. I just want to set the expectation that you will pay a bit more than you think, but it's still a great value that I highly recommend.
DDr RobertMy review is intended as constructive feedback and should be taken that way.
Check-in was a bit of a hassle, but once we got over a speed bump, everything was fine. I won't go into what happened exactly, but please NOTE: they do NOT accept cash for the deposit or payment. You must have a credit card.. Make sure your card works... and they don't seem to accept Union Pay cards. There isn't any drinkable water in the room, but there is a convenience store two buildings away - super convenient.
The rooms are clean. But, everything is old. The furniture could be quickly restored with some varnish to the furniture, and rustic rugs tossed on the wooden floors. They should consider adding their own line of soaps and hair care products for an element of care and elegance. It'd be nice to have a couple of complimentary bottles of water, as well.
The free shuttle from the airport - go to blue baggage claim and go out one of the blue entry/exit points; either 1 or 2 - at the far ends of the baggage claim corridor. Look for a ”Veterans Limo” van. They come regularly. Just tell the driver where you're going.
Breakfast is great if you love carbs. Unfortunately, no proteins were served. I recommend just adding some scrambled or hard-boiled eggs or turkey bacon and cheeses. You should add more varieties of bagels and bread, as well - especially if you're going to stay carb-centric. Raisin bagels would've been nice.
Thanks for the waffles. Neat, but I would prefer an omlette station.
Overall, I will probably not stay here again, but only because there are so many other options to choose from.
Oh... No offense, but the front desk staff could use some training in customer service and customer care. A couple of them seem to be tired of guests and refer to guests as ”them” and ”they” with a tone of contempt. The staff seems to be falling into a horrible customer care death spiral of ”us” vs. ”them” and seeing ”them” as ”stupid.” Maybe have just a workshop to help staff reaffirm their commitment to the hospitality industry.
Competition won't go away, but customers will.
GGuest UserMy wife and I, my 60-year-old mother, and my 20-year-old sister stayed in the Cars Suite, a total of four of us.
There were two bedrooms and two bathrooms, so we were able to maintain a certain amount of privacy for each other and had a comfortable stay.
There was also a microwave, sink, small refrigerator, and coffee maker, so we were able to have breakfast in our room during our stay.
The shuttle bus to Disney World was convenient, and there were plenty of shops and food courts, making it the perfect place for a Disney vacation.
