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.

Comfortable
Pros:

I loved the shampoo/ conditioner and body wash with the hand soap and lotion that right there simple but elevated the stay. Staff was very friendly which was very inviting.

The beds were amazing extremely comfortable felt like I was sleeping on a cloud experience.

I found the hairdryer and iron accessable and that was a plus for sure

Cons:

Had a minor toilet plumbing issue the second day nothing to elaborate on figured it was something with the pipes

Good location, but the hotel is a bit outdared
Pros:

The best thing about the place was location and spacious rooms and big beds.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the hotel feels old. It was dusty, the bathroom was not cleaned properly and the vending machine "stole" some money when we wanted to take some coke.
