I absolutley love the Crown Plaza Universal. I am on the road for business and spend on average 10 nights a month in hotels. So when on vacation I am very picky about where I stay. I have to say the Crown Plaza is a true vacation destination for me and my husband. The hotel mostly caters to corporate and... more

My wife and I booked 2 nights through Priceline. I got 2 nights for $160 total. Staff was very friendly, and the Universal shuttle was very convenient. more

Hotel is in an excellent location – a 15 minute drive from Orlando International Airport, a perfect base for exploring the theme parks (a matter of minutes to drive to Universal and Disney) and a few minutes taxi ride to the restaurants and bars on International Drive and Universal Citywalk. The room was lovely – clean, pretty and comfortable. Only... more

We stayed 6 nights using Priority Club points for reward nights. The location of the hotel is very good relative to Disney, Universal, Sea World, and Wet & Wild. The parking lot could be slightly larger to accomodate special events (there was a wedding in the atrium the first night of our stay, and the lot was full). Our room... more

This was my 3rd stay at this hotel and one thing that never changes is the excellent maintenance of the hotel and it's rooms.

If you are unsure about what you want from your Orlando vacation, want to try a bit of everything, or just want the security of a hotel, then you can't go far wrong with the Crowne Plaza Universal. If you are planning on spending more than a couple of days the Disney parks, then I would recommend you stay closer.... more

My husband, 11 month old daughter, and I just stayed one night at the hotel even though we had booked 2 nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our hotel room was nicely furnished and clean, but on the small side (we had a room with a king bed). The only real complaint I had about the room was... more

Filth. Plain and simple. i checked into my room and not only was there a dirty paper napkin on a bedstand, there was also a part of a muffin on the floor. On top of that, the shower didn't drain and there was a big smear of something on the bedspread. If clean is what matters to you, stay far... more
