I always stay here when I'm in Orlando for business at the Research Park. The staff, especially Mark from maintenance, went above and beyond to help me with an internet issue. The hotel is conveniently located near UCF, making it perfect for visitors, and the rooms are comfortable and clean. On the downside, the Wi-Fi could be hit or miss at times.

I have to say, this hotel exceeded my expectations with its commitment to cleanliness and superb staff interactions. The breakfast options really stood out, with friendly service and quality food. However, the rooms could use some updating, and the Wi-Fi connection was not the best. Overall, this place offers excellent value for money and a very enjoyable stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient, with plenty of dining options nearby, but I faced several issues during my stay, including noise disturbances and cleanliness problems in my room. While the staff were friendly and the breakfast was decent, overall, it felt like the hotel was in need of better upkeep and organization.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff were exceptional, making my stay comfortable and welcoming. The breakfast was a highlight with a variety of options. However, I faced some issues with the room's cleanliness and maintenance that detracted from the overall experience, especially the shower drain and odor. Given the issues I encountered, I might consider my options next time.

This hotel served as a decent base for our trip, being conveniently located near numerous restaurants and stores. The rooms were functional but showed signs of age, while the dining experience was a highlight with a solid breakfast offering. Unfortunately, there were issues with noise from the surroundings and a lack of effective management for the guests’ comfort.

The rooms were functional and had everything I needed, although cleanliness was a bit questionable. There were some signs of wear, and I encountered an unpleasant surprise with some gunk on the bed skirt.

While most of the staff was friendly and accommodating, I did encounter some issues with the night staff not being particularly helpful during a stressful situation. They did manage to get us on the same floor for our second night, which was appreciated.

The hotel is nicely situated in an area bustling with dining options and services, making it convenient for grabbing meals and other needs. It is also away from the heavy Disney traffic which is a plus.

The breakfast was actually quite good for a hotel setup, with hot items like scrambled eggs and bacon. However, it was disappointing when the waffle batter wasn’t filled in time during breakfast.
Facilities

Facilities were acceptable; however, the elevator was notably slow, which was a hassle when carrying luggage. There’s also a gym, but I didn’t use it during my stay.
