    All the staff were great, helpful and polite. Suites with kitchenette, 2 beds, bath, small living room & desk was pretty good. Breakfast buffet in the morning was pretty good too. Tasty free coffee & tea in reception area was always well stocked (although offering ice water there too should be an essential). WiFi worked well in room. Beds were clean & cozy. The hotel amenities need improvement though. Pool closes early at 8pm and there’s no jacuzzi. The BBQ gas grills were completely broken and looked like they’ve been that way for years. The outdoor firepit hang out area advertised and highlighted in the pictures online never had a fire lit at all and likely never does. The hotel only had 2 luggage carts for the entire 500? rooms hotel (1 of them had a flat tire and barely worked) so you had to go hunting for one or wait for one for too long. Hotel easily needs to buy 10+ more luggage carts and put them on every floor near every elevator and plenty more in the lobby (I had to hunt on every floor to find one, twice). That way guests can quickly find them when checking in and out. Overall the staff were stellar and the room was good, but the amenities all need to be upgraded and some TLC.

    This location was a little below expectations. Service was ok - room for improvement. Rooms could use some dusting, especially behind and under the couches and bed. Breakfast was standard - sausage, eggs, cereals, oatmeal, waffles, etc. Always appreciate a hot breakfast. Area was kept clean and stocked during our entire stay. We did use the convenience store and it is helpful to have one when you need essentials or just late night ice cream. Location is ideal to everything, especially Universal. We took advantage of the free bus shuttle and it was perfect! Didnʻt have to pay for parking or worry about where I parked the car. Overall, would stay here again.

    This was such a great place for my family to stay on our weeklong vacation. We stayed in a suite with 2 queen beds and a sofa bed so all 5 of us had a place to sleep. We appreciated how quiet our room was at night. I only heard other guests in the hotel a few times. The free breakfast was convenient and tasted good. The thing we all really loved was having a full-sized fridge and a place to cook. I have to be really carefully about what I eat for health reasons, so it was great to be able to cook my own food instead of going out and not knowing if I was going to feel sick afterwards. My family also enjoyed being able to store fresh fruits and vegetables in the fridge. Our room had 2 sizes of saucepans and a frying pan for cooking. There was a glass measuring cup, measuring spoons and a strainer. On one night, we wanted to cook something in the oven, but there wasn't any kind of a cooking sheet. We contacted the front desk and within 15-20 minutes they were able to provide us with one. The staff was great. I would definitely stay here again!

    Location and staff great. Free breakfast was good as a perk. Overall property was clean. The suite had maintenance issues but the main issue was the brown stains found on one of the queen mattress that created my daughter to get very upset as she slept on it for 2 days and ended up sleeping on the couch that night. Not a good thing to remember a stay for.

    Nous avons séjourné 6 jours en avril 2026. Le petit déjeuner était super mais j’aurais aimer pouvoir y aller un peu plus tard que 9h30. Le service d’un employé pour gérer les demandes à propos de Universal était super. La navette vers Universal passe 4 fois matin et soir et donne donc différents choix selon vos besoins. Le personnel très courtois. J’y retournerais sans hésitation. La distance de marche entre l’hôtel et Universal est de 25 à 30 minutes. Nous l’avons marché 1 fois.

    I will not stay at a Residence Inn again. First, at check-in, we were told our room was no longer available for the first time. They reduced our rate by $100 per night. The room was not worth the reduced rate. The furniture was worn and torn, the sofa bed was stained and the room was not what we needed nor was it anything near the picture we were sent. Second, the cable was out for over 24 hours. Nothing like missing playoff games. Third, junk fees. A charge for using a Mastercard?!? Never again. I will be returning to the Hilton hotels for now on.

    I want to give a special shout‑out to Alexis Samuels, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Alexis went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of, and her assistance during checkout was especially appreciated. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine willingness to help made a real difference. Thank you to Alexis and the entire team for making our stay enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning on our next trip to Orlando.

    The breakfast was ok and the location was great for Universal there's also a shuttle to Universal and an in-house concierge for theme park tickets. First when we arrived the receptionist didn't acknowledge us we just stood there until he looked up, he didn't explain where anything was at only breakfast was at 7a. Once in the room we found there was NO TV service for the entire stay they claimed it was a network issue, the toilet didn't flush had to call for maintenance and I put in to have the room freshened up we left at 8:45 a came back at 4:30 p the room hadn't been touched towels and garbage still in the room. The maid showed up after 5 pm. I didn't go to the pool because there were signs to beware of snakes and alligators. Oh and the pillows on the bed were like marshmallows mushy and flat. Think I'll try somewhere else next time. Oh and we have an extra $33 charged I'm looking into also.

    ​The room was impressive and very spacious. The large bed was extremely comfortable, which we really appreciated. Having a well-stocked kitchenette was a huge plus—it featured a full-sized fridge and a large microwave, making it very easy to manage snacks and meals for the family. ​Breakfast & Location ​The included breakfast was good and convenient, providing a solid start to our day. The location was perfect for us as it offered very easy access to and from our destinations, making our travel back and forth completely stress-free. ​Special Holiday Touch ​The highlight of our trip was definitely Easter Sunday. The hotel organized an Easter egg hunt involving the staff and the guests. It was so much fun for the whole family and made our holiday stay feel extra special. It’s rare to find a hotel that goes above and beyond like that! ​Final Verdict ​A clean, comfortable, and family-friendly hotel with a staff that truly cares. We would definitely stay here again! Marriott remains to be my number 1 choice of hotels

    Stayed 5 nights here. Friendly staff and easy checkin. Free shuttle to Universal Studio. We missed shuttle but Uber only costed $7 for us. Our family loves the bright and spacious room facing the pool. Full kitchen has everything we need to cook simple meals. No tub but the shower has good water pressure and is easy to get in and out. Breakfast is good. Overall, solid choice if you are looking for a room with kitchen near Universal.

    I think we have finally found our Universal Studios hotel! We have traveled to Orlando approximately 10 times over the past few years. We have stayed at different hotels, trying to find the best value for our adventures to Universal and Islands of Adventure. This hotel exceeded our expectations - the price was extremely reasonable for all the hotel had to offer. Everything was clean, the breakfast was fresh and provided many choices, the staff was friendly, there was no additional parking fee, the room was a great size and the beds were comfortable. In addition, the hotel was very close to the parks and I felt very safe there. While we only stayed one night, this hotel would be great for a multi-night stay due to its well-stocked kitchen area and room layout. We will definitely be back! I don't know of anything.

    We checked in at 1:00 am, we got to the room and the ac wasn’t working. We contacted the front desk and to our surprise the hotel doesn’t have an overnight engineer that can fix anything and there was no other room available. The front desk lady is the only one working in a 300 room hotel, she was very nice and kept apologizing to me and saying it was out of her hands. The. The morning supervisor told me that since I had booked with Expedia, she couldn’t refund my money, not only I will never recommend this place but I will never stay there again.

Only issue we had was in booking you hotel we were told our stay would be $ said amount but on checking out we were charged $23 more. I must admit I did have few items I ordered from Amazon but I was told you don’t charge for packages so we couldn’t understand why the extra charge, this first time having this experience because I love Residence Inn.

    Wonderful stay! We stayed in a double queen room and it was plenty big enough for us (my son and I). It was clean, the kitchen had essentials if you wanted to make your own dinner, a nice big fridge with icemaker and even a pitcher to make your own drinks! Beds were comfy, the bathroom was super nice. And it's literally across the road from Universal. So if you do not want to stay on property, this was so convenient. The breakfast was also amazing, there was so many options. Will definitely stay here again!

After i went back up to the 3rd floor that our room was in. We waited and then a supervisor came up to our room and told us that our room was changed to the fifth floor. Ok. So we gathered our belongings and went up. After that, I went back down to get the room keys, and told the front desk that our room was changed by a supervisor. However, front desk guy said that it wasnt possible because there were no rooms. So i called my family and told them to gather their stuff and head back down to the third floor. Then we were told, that it wasnt a mistake and so i had to send my family back up

    Our room that we had paid for was given away on our first night. We only found out upon arrival as an email was sent to us during our flight to advise us that they were putting us in an alternative hotel due to them giving our room which we had purchased for and checked-in prior to our arrival. This wasn't a great start to our holiday having to have travelled for 24 hours with two young toddlers. Spent a lot of time arguing and chasing, something that we didn't need at the beginning of our holiday. The only staff that was helpful was front desk staff Kourtney.

    It was very clean and quiet. The area was more vacationers that you really needed to rent a car. I use Uber a lot. I didn’t find that there were a lot of places to eat. The pool was great having Universal Studios was close by, you could buy your tickets at the resort saved time and it’s convenient, I didn’t see any pets, but I prefer to go to a hotel that does not have pets.

My back hurt so bad every morning. We asked to switch rooms but hotel was booked solid until later in the week, so they gave us extra comforters to try and soften the bed. Didnt do much but helped a tiny bit.

The hotel was a perfect choice for us; 25 min walk to Universal, decent enough pool, room was superb size with very comfy beds and tons of space to even do yoga in the mornings. The only thing stopping me giving this a five star review was the breakfast was a bit repetitive and unimaginative. Aside from that totally suited our needs and would highly recommend.

    The only issue I had was that there was no lotion in the room - not sure if hotels are not doing that any more but I think that it's essential. Also there was loud music throughout the night coming from a nearby nightclub. To be honest it was disturbing but everything else was so good especially the staff that I didn't make it an issue.

    We stayed here for 5 nights family of four. Spacious room, comfy beds and everything you need from a bottle opener to dishwasher detergent. We could have stayed longer! You could walk to Universal however we got Ubers or travelled with Lyft which was cheaper. Cost around 6 dollars but price increases during busier times. There is a free shuttle from the hotel to universal. We used this once which was very busy. Pool area is small and quiet which we loved having 1 rest day the day before we headed home. Would definitely recommend this hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We were really pleased with this hotel. Very friendly staff, nice breakfast (not too busy) and a very spacious room. It was like an oasis of calm after a busy day at Universal. Free parking was great and location excellent to get to the parks 5min drive, 20min walk). We used the free shuttle bus every day and it runs at convenient times. We particularly liked the 5:20 bus back as we could then take the hire car back in and make use of the free parking after 6 at city walk. Room was nice and clean on arrival. We would definitely stay here again if in Orlando and recommend it to anyone looking for a budget friendly place to stay near universal. The only thing that could have been slightly better is more attentive house keeping. I think they must have had the number of people staying in the room as two rather than 5. Every other day was fine and they did a great job but we did have to ask for a toilet roll, replacement conditioner, tissues and the right number of towels. These things didn’t bother us as it reduces any wastage, but may bother other people.

    The breakfast was good every morning we was there. We didn’t use their transportation since we had our own but the beds was comfortable but if you use the sofa bed you will need to go buy a topper since it’s one that you piece together with different sections. We had room number 134 and I suggest if you have children ask for another room the shower literally drains into the middle of the bathroom floor or either be prepared to go by mop as I did to help soak up some of the water. This happens because it is a handicap, equipped room to roll a wheelchair in the shower. The front desk was very nice and did give us extra towels to help with the water also. The pool is a nice regular size pool but be prepared to take towels as there was no towels at the pool area.

    These were probably the largest hotel rooms I've ever seen. Our room had lots of space with a kitchen and utensils - everything someone might need for a few days. The huge bonus was the FREE transportarion to Universal parks. Make your reservation with the park agent near the front desk. Would definitely stay here again!

    Opportunities for this property include: - Security badging in elevators is needed. Should someone enter the building who shouldn't be there during daytime hours, they can access any floors with no problem, as the front desk is not manned 24/7. After hours, it'd be easy to piggyback with anyone else coming in. - My security latch did not work and I had to move rooms at 1:00 a.m., which was not favorable. - My room could have been much cleaner...the kitchen floor looked like it hadnt been scrubbed in quite some time. Details matter, and there were several other things that could have been cleaned like the side of the nightstand and the upholstery on the sofa. Lastly, for the light sleepers like me. I was in a King suite (both the original and second room). The air vent is directly in front of the bed and woke me up everyvtime the air turned on and off.

    Great if you are going to Universal. They offer transportation to Universal including Epic. They offer breakfast daily and free parking. There are food options nearby and Walgreens is also close by. Overall we had a great stay. On more than one ocassion my family was questioned on what room we were staying and I'm not sure if they thought my niece and brother came from off the streets or what. On the first day I asked for someone to refill the body wash in our room and this request was never fulfilled.

    Hotel is clean and well kept! The room was clean with free coffee and tea. I love that the pool started at 3 ft for my little one. The free breakfast was fresh, nothing fancy but just enough for free breakfast. My kids enjoyed it. Free parking was amazing! The location was great. The bed was extremely comfy. Be prepared to walk since there is only 1 elevator with wrap around units but if you park near am exot door you can use the stairs. All in all would definitely stay here again instead of the sea world location.

    Excellent hotel. Excellent staff. Excellent breakfast. Amazing room with very comfy beds. This is the place to stay. Only thing that would’ve made it better would’ve been to have more bathtub options for my wife and daughter but that’s a minor inconvenience for all of the other benefits. They tried to move things around but the hotel only has 4 bathtub rooms and they are handicap access. They have a shuttle that runs to Universal Studios in the morning multiple times and one that comes back to the hotel in the afternoon and evening for free. Just get your reservation in early for the shuttle and DON’T BE LATE!! The drivers have to stick to a tight schedule. This place is a great value and we will be staying here again on the next trip!

    The place is great for the most part. It’s close to universal with about a 20-25 minute walk to citywalk. The room was nice and spacious. However the worst part is that the ac units are right next to your bed and it’s pretty obnoxious during the night. Woke my husband up every time. Also the bed was pretty firm (not my preference). Otherwise the breakfast was great with many options daily. The front desk was always cheerful and kind. Also the Japanese steakhouse near by was great!

    Carry your own paper towel, hand wash because you won’t get it despite asking multiple times. Either those are out of stock, or the service personnel just ignore you. Giving 1less star only due to poor housekeeping otherwise the hotel is great.
