Doesn’t deserve the terrible reviews

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 1 Aug 2024via mobile
I was worried about staying here after all the bad reviews but I have been pleasantly surprised.
We were in block 4 which is behind the bar building so we didn’t get any noise from the pool area. There was some traffic noise but it wasn’t enough to bother us.
The room was perfectly adequate for our needs. We basically wanted somewhere to store our stuff and sleep! The cleanliness of the room could have been better but I wouldn’t say it was dirty. The housekeeping was a little sporadic but we always had fresh towels. The air con is noisy but we didn’t notice it after the first night. Beds were very comfy.
We found all staff members to be polite and helpful. We didn’t use the pool at all so can’t comment on that.
The park transfers are a little iffy. The one to Universal is fine with only one stop to another hotel along the way. The Disney one however is not so good. It is always late and stops at multiple hotels along the way. It took us over an hour to get there so we gave up and used Ubers.
Overall I feel this hotel does not deserve the bad reviews and I would stay here again. It’s a budget hotel so you get what you pay for but it was perfectly adequate for what we needed.
Date of stay: July 2024
Room Tip: Ask for block 4 if you want to avoid noise from the pool
Trip type: Travelled with family

Absolutely awful. Do not recommend. Hidden fees so you pay 230 fees (for 2 weeks) AND 100 euro deposit. That includes use of a tiny pool and smaller gym. The food is extortionate as are the drinks. Rooms are tiny and quite dirty. They are "cleaned" daily. So fresh sheets and towels... however floor is never swept and so it's gritty all the time. Beds are extremely budget and have no support. I realise its a budget hotel however cleanliness is a basic necessity in my opinion.

Room tip: 180 rooms and a tiny pool area so get down early if staying at the pool. Pay for parking in fees if you have a car or not.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I'm sorry to hear that your stay at our hotel did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, as it allows us to address areas in need of improvement.

Firstly, I apologize for any confusion regarding the fees. We strive to be transparent about our resort fees. This is shown upon booking, on your confirmation, on our FAQ's on our website and again upon your arrival. Upon check-in, we will run an "authorization" on the card for the total room charges, plus $50 for guests staying between 1-4 nights and $100 for guests staying 5 nights or more per room for any potential incidental charges. The card will not be charged prior to the guest's check-out. Bank Debit/Check Cards: If the debit/check card you are using is attached to a checking account, a hold will be placed on the account for the full anticipated dollar amount of your stay, in addition to $50 for guests staying between 1-4 nights and $100 for guests staying 5 nights or more, that is held in case of incidental charges. These funds may be held by your financial institution for seven business days or longer after your departure.

In regards to the cleanliness of the rooms, I apologize for the disappointment caused. Our housekeeping team works diligently to ensure that our rooms are clean and comfortable for our guests. We are disappointed that you were not pleased with our refresh services. For conservation reasons, our refresh service consists of trash removal, making of beds, refresh of bathroom towels and replacement of toiletries. Should your stay be longer than four nights, you will receive a full-housekeeping service every fifth day of your stay. It includes trash removal, bathroom cleaned, replenish of bathroom towels and amenities, change of bed linens and making of the beds, dusting and cleaning of the floors. If your stay is beyond five days, the cycle above will be repeated. This is communicated on all of our booking sites, on our FAQ page and on our welcome letter upon your arrival.

Additionally, I'm sorry to hear that you found our amenities and facilities to be lacking. We aim to provide a comfortable stay for all our guests, and I apologize if the size of our pool and gym did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, and we will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our offerings.

We appreciate your patronage and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, to provide you with the experience you deserve.

Stayed here previously and loved it, was a bit worried as I'd seen some bad reviews. Well, it was outstanding! We stayed in block 2 which is the more modern one and had a pool view which we'd requested and can highly recommend. Rooms cleaned daily, food prices in the on-site cafe bar very reasonable, great drinks selection at the bar, games room good value for our kids. Lovely family atmosphere, inflatables allowed in the pool too! Across the road from Icon park (if you go out the side door at block 4),and lots of eateries nearby. 10/10, amazing

Room tip: Starbucks in the hotel was a God send!!

We stayed here from May 21st - June 2nd and we were not disappointed whatsoever. The hotel staff were absolutely amazing. The rooms were huge and lovely. We got our room cleaned everyday. Everything was working perfectly. The pool was lovely and the atmosphere was fabulous. This hotel is in the centre of International Drive so we had no problem getting around. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Orlando.
