We stayed here Feb, 2012. The studio suite was great. King bed was comfortable and the room was large. Hotel is well kept, amenities are nice. Great proximity to Universal Studios. Pool and hot tubs were very nice. Over all, great place to stay.

I stayed here for a week. This was the best price and best location for all of the theme parks in was going to. It was a little hard for me to believe this was a BW Plus because of how much the rooms weren't kept up. Shower grout was dirty, paint job was sloppy and the bathroom door didnt... More

First off i must say that this best western has some of the friendliest employees i've ever experienced, From the initial check in to check out your crew deserves 10's across the board. We stayed here for 5 nights and im glad i found it. The location is perfect about a 2 minute drive to universal studios, across the street... More

I found a great rate on the Internet for this hotel so instead of going through the hassle of booking it on my smart phone-as we were close to the hotel-we stopped in and Vanessa honored the rate I found. How nice not to book online. I had stopped at another hotel that had one rate on the internet but... More

The location is perfect. Near interstate, International Drive, mall, Universal, wet nwild park. The room was large, clean and comfortable. ( Bathroom needed some cleaning.) Woman at check in wasn't friendly at all. Check out was nice. Friendly, smiling faces! Pool was nice and clean. Food was pricey. We would stay again.

It's a typical Best Western. We stayed here overnight as part of a Universal package to gain early entry into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, after a week at Disney World. It was quite noisy and there were a lot of young people.

Room was clean, though we didn't spend much time in it. Used the refrigerator/microwave for breakfast. Easy walk with sidewalks to Paramount parks. Negatives were that the beds were full size rather than queen, but that's what we sleep in at home, so no biggie, and the cable was very limited, but also NBD as we were there for the... More
