It was ok
Pros:

Location . Staff very nice and friendly.
Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Our room didn’t have any cold water and the sink was leaking. We couldn’t use it .
When we were ready to go to bed, we discovered that our sheets had a stain that didn’t look good. We asked for new ones and they brought a new set.

Overall, the stay was disappointing despite the hotels convenient location.
Pros:

The only positive about this hotel is its convenient location near shops, restaurants, and UCF. Unfortunately, everything else about the stay fell short of expectations.

Cons:

We were moved from our first room after finding a stuffy smell, dirty floors, and ants, only to discover a shoe left behind in the second room. The head of housekeeping was dismissive and implied we brought the shoe ourselves, which added to an already frustrating experience. Although the front desk and general manager apologized, we will not be returning despite the ongoing renovations.
