Great Value, Great Place to Stay

I liked that the staff was so helpful here. They were helpful with figuring out transportation in the area and where to find things.
The hotel itself was pretty clean too. I liked that there was a fridge, because it gets hot in Orlando and after going to Universal all we wanted was water.
The room has cable, including Showtime if you like movies. The shower was nice, it looked new and had a cool design. The only thing I wasn't expecting was no toothpaste or toothbrushes, but we found out you have to ask, they don't just include them in the room.
Overall I would stay here again. If you are going to universal studios, I highly recommend staying here, in fact. It's within walking distance, literally, to Universal's Parking Garage/ Entrance. I walked to there, 1 out of the 4 days I stayed.
The location is great for other reasons too. The I-drive bus that takes you to International Drive attractions is right in front of the hotel and the Lynx (local transp.) that takes you to Universal is too. There's also a buffet across the parking lot with great food.
Pool was small but in a shady yet cool area.
