The hotel was undergoing reservations but upon calling the staff said renovation would be completed before my stay , that did bot happen there was no pool, laundry or dining amenities available. I booked an 11 night stay so laundry services at least was needed. I am not sure what the policy is but my entire stay housekeeping never came to my room, even after I placed the dirty towels which we only used to stand on outside of the shower in the corridor right outside of the room they never replenished so I ended up purchasing a cheap bath mat on my own. We walked around the room in socks and the bottom got really dirty as though the floors had not been cleaned in a while, and in walking the hallway there was a blue and pink capsule on the floor for at least 8 days that I was there. I went to the front desk for the basic bathroom amenities i.e. toilet paper which they only supplied one at a time. They informed no extra pillows are alloted to rooms. There was no night latch on the door just a flimsy lock so we would stockpile all the suitcases at the door every night. I live outside of the USA and roaming can get very expensive so free wifi at a hotel is expected even if its in the hidden fees but for almost 3 days the hotel was without wifi so in between roaming and racking up charges I would have to walk in front of restaurants to connect to their wifi. To top it off the bathrooms stopped flushing on the last day there. This was the epitome of the hotel from hell.

This has to be the worst place I have ever stayed at. It might not seem like it by the pictures but once you are there, the entire place is trash. The rooms are gross and falling apart. The pool is under construction. No phone in the room and had to walk to the front desk to ask for things. They don't have shuttle service and food. They have nothing really. Please don't book here. This place is garbage.

Fourth stay at this hotel. Definitely my Orlando home. Love the staff, the service, the location. Simple and affordable but everything you need! Love it for EDC Orlando! Staff accommodated my best friend and I as we wished and made us feel at home. The manager is a beautiful woman who is helpful and her staff are well trained. They will see me again soon

The hotel has a very good location but the cleanliness is poor. The room was only cleaned once in a 6 night stay. There were cockroaches in the room. The pool was not available and there was no breakfast. They only had coffee in the lobby but it was not always available. I had visited the hotel in previous years but found it to be in disrepair.

This was THE BATES MOTEL in real life. They didnt have an elevator and there were wasted plastic bags of garbage in the hall. Not to kention the big balls of ANTS that wre plaguing the vathroom. I couldnt put my toothbrush or anything else in there for fear of it being infested. They also had all the dcposed wires from the ceiljng necause they were missing evey other ceiling panel.

The staff were lovely and checked us in right away and did not make me pay a pet fee, for which I was very grateful. The beds were very comfortable. However, the rooms were very dirty and the fridge in one of our rooms never worked. We reported it the first night and no one came to repair it. It feels like the hotel is an old building in need of lots of repairs. We did notice there is a renovation happening so we are guessing all of this will improve in the future. We were just grateful there was a space and we had a place to go to escape the hurricane so for that we thank you. It served the purpose we needed.
