Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Mostly praised—many reviewers cited fresh-smelling, clean rooms and well-maintained property; isolated issues (dirty baseboards/corners, shower floor wear, caulking) reduce score slightly.
Service
8.3
Generally positive—staff described as pleasant, helpful and professional in many reviews; a small number of complaints (reported unhygienic staff, limited control over rowdy guests) lower the score modestly.
Location
8.6
Consistently strong—multiple reviewers mention excellent proximity to malls, restaurants, arena and family destinations; convenient for local attractions and shopping.
Room Quality
7.8
Mixed—rooms are often spacious, nicely furnished and have comfortable beds; some reviews mention dated rooms, pillow quality issues and need for deeper cleaning or finishing remodels.
Amenities
8
Solid—parking, updated lobby, bathroom updates and small conveniences noted; some amenity negatives (limited coffee options, breakfast variety) and few unmentioned amenities keep this at a standard level.
Value for Money
8.4
Positive—several reviewers explicitly call it good value/affordable for a clean stay; isolated negative "waste of money" comment but overall perceived as good value.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Mixed to slightly weak—many guests praised the breakfast as 'great', but multiple remarks about poor variety, subpar offerings for some, and only decaf coffee lower the score.
Overall Experience
8
Generally favorable—numerous 'great', 'cozy', 'perfect' comments reflecting a pleasant stay; occasional negatives (noise, rowdy guests, dated rooms, isolated staff hygiene concern) moderate the overall rating.

Great, cozy and comfortable
Pros:

The location was perfect for our trip and kept us close to family. The room was clean, nicely furnished, and spacious enough for two guests with two suitcases each. Parking was always available, and the hotel had a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Best of all, the room and hotel smelled fresh, unlike a lot of other (older) Orlando hotels.

Cons:

The room and resort were clean and well-maintained. The shower floor is showing some wear, and the caulking could use a little refreshing. We wear shower slippers anyway, so it was a minor issue compared to all the other positives!
