Budget for parking
Pros:

I chose this one to stay in though it was not really close to EPCOT. Overall, it's ok. The reception desk was very helpful and efficient. We felt very safe and secure. The room was good and comfortable. However, we did not expect the additional charge for parking. And the breakfast was inedible; we went down at 9:30 and found remains of food with no expectation of items being refilled. We went elsewhere for breakfast.

Great location and value, but overshadowed by a late-night security incident
Pros:

The Pros
Location & Value: Generally excellent value for money, situated in a fantastic spot right on International Drive.

Amenities: The Wi-Fi, pool, and gym were all of a good standard and easy to use.

Parking: Plenty of parking available. It is $10 per night, but I understand it caps out at a maximum of $50 per stay.

Cons:

The Cons
Dated Rooms & Odor: While the rooms were spacious and clean, they felt very dated. Additionally, during my first visit, there was a noticeable musky/damp smell across the entire floor.

Temperamental AC: The air conditioning unit was very noisy and struggled with temperature control. It would turn off once it hit the target temperature, allowing the room to heat up quickly before kicking back on again.

Major Concern: Late-Night Wellness Check & Management Response
On my penultimate night at 10:45 PM, I was startled by a commotion at my door. A security guard was attempting to enter my room to perform a "wellness check" on the floor. Fortunately, I had deadbolted the door, so they could not fully enter, but the guard was very loud. While I entirely understand the necessity of daily wellness checks, conducting them this late at night is unacceptable. It could be incredibly disruptive or traumatic, especially for anyone with young families asleep.

When I raised this with hotel management the following morning, the manager was incredibly blunt and unapologetic. He explained that their system had "failed" the previous evening, forcing the late check, but he completely failed to understand why a guard trying a door handle at nearly 11:00 PM was an issue. Procedures clearly need updating for when normal routines fail.

Cons:

false advertising not closest to universal only if you jump a fence and run across I-4.

Boa Localização, Melhoria da gentileza dos funcionários da recepção, porém, o custo benefício de localização e preço com
Pros:

Localização
Conforto das camas
Acesso aos parques
Boa Receptividade da Portaria

Cons:

Recepção, pouca comunicação e falta de gentileza.
Também não gostei da limpeza dos quartos e do uso de muitos plásticos nos utensílios descartáveis, troca-se a toalha diariamente, sugestão: perguntar ao hóspede se ele deseja a troca diária a fim de economizar o meio ambiente.
