Horrible hotel! DO NOT STAY HERE!! This place hasn't been remodeled, or by the looks of it Hasn't had a bedding change Since the 1980s. Carpet is filthy, bedding is stained and full of burn holes, "pillows" (they're cheapo 12" square garbage) smell like a locker room, and the bathroom was The bathroom had mold in every crevice in the shower. Literally Every seam in the fiberglass shower surround was BLACK with mold. Same with the tile floor. The tile baseboard was missing in multiple places with gaping holes into the wall. Toilet leaked between tank and bowl. Ceiling was moldy and had paint peeling off. Bathroom door was so rotted at the bottom that it didn't close, and every time we tried to slam it closed, it'd knock moldy sawdust on the floor. ONE light in the entire room worked. Two had open wires around the base below the bulb, about where you would grab to turn them on. TV was a first gen lcd Maybe 2005 or so. No remote. Snow on every channel. Coffee maker had mold in the water chamber. Mattresses were thankfully bedbug free, but had stains from prior infestations. Pool was ice cold and cloudy. Clientele staying here was HORRIBLE Cops were in the parking lot 3 times in one night, once for a domestic disturbance near us. ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Beg, borrow, etc, and spend an extra $20 to get something that isn't a disgusting slum of a room.
French fry in AC ! Peep hole in front door! Curtains falling apart! light with dead flies! If I could give it a zero stars I would! Don't go there! Room felt dirty & gross, very out dated, bed uncomfortable, moldy ac & poor customer service. Did not feel safe! at 11pm I saw druggies & thugs wondering the parking lot. Please Don't go there!
This is in an extremely convenient location, right off International Drive and central to many Orlando attractions. For that reason alone, I'd recommend it. However, be aware that what you are paying for here is more so location than anything else (and thankfully prices aren't bad!). The rooms are outdated and in need of serious repair in some areas, but you get a bed and four walls. Come expecting the bare minimum and you should be happy with your stay.
Wow. Justwow. The first room we were in, I believe was 127, was filthy, musty, just gross. That, my wife and I could stand. What we could not stand was that after we returned to the room at about midnight, we noticed that the doors did not seal completely and there was a peep hole that looked directly from the door, next to the lock, across the room and directly at the bathroom. Wide open for anyone to take a look in and have a peek at us in there. Freaked me out, I asked for a room change, and wouldn't you know it. A very similar thing on the next door on our new room. Looked like they had to pry the door open in the past and never really bothered to seal the opening all the way. Water damage to the ceiling, prevented the curtain from hanging to cover the window correctly. We cancelled our second night. Lots of people hanging around outside, urinating in the parking lot, looked to be dealing drugs. Very shady place. People leaving their doors open late and talking loudly, partying. No staff to help the front office or security to be seen. Very budget motel. Unless you are in serious need of saving 20-30 bucks, stay somewhere else. I took pictures for evidence just in case.
After reading the reviews I said to myself, "how bad could it really be?" The answer - even worse than you could imagine. Absolutely filthy and everything is broke or breaking. During a 5-day stay our sheets were never changed, just towels brought. TV image was distorted, phone and alarm clock in room didn't work. Staff was pleasant but everything else was terrible. Dead cockroaches, doors that barely close with a 1 inch gap on bottom allow all sorts of noise to enter rooms. Paint was peeling and holes in wall. It was so loud each night that sleep was difficult. A/C unit was working well but everything else was horrendous.
A average hotel for the $$$$. Within your budget but not a fancy hotel. A block from Universal. I stay 100 days a year for work. No issue with bugs here. Don't believe the bad write-ups. Staff is polite. Hotel nearly sold out every day.
Definitely not a good hotel. The staff is unfriendly and not helpful. Cable didn't work in our room and we asked 3 times for them to please fix it. I gave up.
Rooms are not clean and beds are horrible.
This hotel is the worst.
Location was great tho. Needs new management!
BED BUGS!!!!!******* This establishment is very inexpensive for a reason. At first glance you will not see them. I always check for bugs before bringing my items into my room. I checked visible places where they could be. I woke in the morning to find a bug crawling on my sheets. When I got out of bed and looked where I had slept there were two under where my body was. When this was reported to management they flipped up the mattress and there were more in between the mattress and box. Also there was blood all over the sheets I did receive my money back for my night's stay. Also management was very accommodating to fix the situation, but read reviews. Do your research! Parents don't bring children to this establishment.
**DO NOT STAY HERE.. I WOULD HAVE RATHER SLEPT IN MY CAR WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING** The minute we walked into the room, it smelt so bad it was unbreathable such as mold. There was no way we could have stayed in that room. We went down to the front desk to let them know and they gave us a new room. We went to the new room and it seemed fine. I stripped the bed as we brought our own bedding and called it a night. The next morning we woke up to BED BUGS on our own pillows!!! Went to the front desk and as I was telling the workers, a lady next to me said "your room has bed bugs too?!" I got nothing but attitude from the employees and they didn't seem the least bit surprised. One lady told us that they needed someone to inspect to room to "prove" that there were bed bugs. I told them it was unacceptable and demanded our money back and they shrugged their shoulders. Not once did management try to speak with us or did we get an apology from anyone. Absolute horrible customer service and the worst hotel I've ever stayed at, I cannot not believe they are still open. Will be reporting them to the state.
I booked this hotel because it fulfilled my two most important requirements: 1) it was one of the cheapest on Labor Day weekend; 2) it was a 21 minute walk to Universal Studio. (There was also a pool outside.) My friend and I went expecting the worst, and got more than we expected. The room was cozy and spacious with two beds, an armchair, sink outside bathroom and other standard appliances hotels usually have.
However, nothing was new or especially clean. The sheets and towels seemed to have always have stains. And perhaps I didn't tip on the first day, but they left crumbs on the bed and towels on the floor. They also didn't have fridge or microwave inside the room, only a very dirty coffee maker. We boiled more than 10 cups of water before all the black stuff were clear.
They have only 1 shuttle going to Universal Studios at 8:30am and returning at 7:15pm. I think there were more going to Disney. But once you miss it, you've missed the timing. The good news is the Uber ride was only about $6. We only missed it once. But everything worked well with us and we always got to the park before it got really crowded.
The only way to fully explain our experience is to tell the step my step story of our night.
After traveling all day, my younger sister and I came to check in wanting to have a relaxing movie night with pizza that we had gotten from downtown Disney. Pulling into the hotel, it looked like a safe area. There were families walking around and a Red Lobster next door. We checked in around 8 pm. The man working at the desk did not speak much English and almost did not believe I was 21 after seeing my license. I'm turning 25. He handed us a completely blank white key card to scan into the room (420 no, this is not a joke) and speaking Spanish radioed a man on his radio, not explaining anything to us. Walking up to the room, there were 5 men smoking cigarettes outside on the balcony staring at us. Once we got got our door (420..which had the number carved into the door) there was a middle aged man who claimed to be a security guard asking if 420 was our room so he could help us get into it after resentfully handing him the key, he held both up to the door until the door opened and just left us with ONE KEY, taking the other with him. The other key we needed for our ROOM. After dropping half of our belongings to our room, we headed to our car to get the second half of our things. When we returned, our key did not open the door. We went back to the desk and explained to the man who checked us in what had happened. He was very condescending and hardly explained anything to us- like why the man had let us into our room but took our only working key card. . He handed us two new blank white keys and had explained to us how to use a room key as if we were 5 years old. After getting back up to our room, we had time to thoroughly look over our room which was horrid. The lights were all tinted yellow, one of the lights next to our bed didn't even have a bulb and was falling off the wall. The two picture frames were hung on outlets and were extremely crooked. (I checked behind one to make sure there were no secret doors or windows for anybody to climb into our room while we were sleeping). Yes. This really happened. The air conditioning had mold visible everywhere inside of it and there were broken vents. The TV was fuzzy and the bathroom had tiny bugs all on the ground of the tub. The shower curtain had mold growing on it and the sink knobs had red sticky residue on them. We felt more clean NOT showering than using this shower. We didn't have a phone, microwave, or a fridge. The outlets did not hold any charger of any sorts. And to top it all off, we were receiving pizza coupons through our crack of our door ALL THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. We could literally see the pool through the crack of our door. There were 9 pizza coupons by the morning in our room. Instead of having the movie night as planned, we just decided it was better to sleep than staying awake relaxing in our room. We wanted to wake up and leave as soon as possible. Before bed, I turned down the air conditioning so the temperature of the room was comfortable enough to sleep in without having to use any of their yellow tinted bedding which smelled like cheese. We slept with beach towels under our bodies. We felt so unsafe because we were so afraid of that man who took our other key was going to try and come into our room while we were sleeping. To ensure safety, we pushed the nightstand up against the door, double locked the door, and I slept with a glass jar of salsa (it was all we had) and my sister slept with the iron from the closet next to her in case of an intruder. Once we went to bed, we hardly slept through the night, waking up to any noise outside of our room. We woke up at 6:00 am to find 4 more pizza coupons stuffed in between our door and had decided by then we had had enough and it was time to leave. This is the last time I will ever try to be cheap and save money on a hotel. I would rather feel and clean safe than save money!!!!!! Do NOT stay here. I would have rather slept in my car in a Walmart parking lot.
Run and stay across the street. The room was terrible. Safe had no lock. Mold around ac Wires hanging out of wall Patch work done on ceiling looked like it was about to fall. Took pictures to certify I would never go there again. Changed hotels to across the street to Four Points and it feels like going from a cardboard box and moving into a mansion.
The room had no safe, no fridge, no phone, no microwave, not indicated on the website. The hotel staff argued with my wife and I that we would be charged for smoking in the room my wife and I don't even smoke. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else I saw no sign of bedbugs, but several mattresses were being thrown away as we were arriving.
Outside of hotel is nice since it is outside. I walked around in the morning by the pool area with my daughter and found there was a cafe full of breakfast and food. The room itself was slightly disappointing since the furniture looked old and beaten. The beds were clean enough. I paid $35/night so I was mostly content with the experience. Oh and location was perfect.
Im giving one star just because i cant leave it blank.
With all these bad reviews, i feel very stupid still booking this hotel.
And the reason why i didn't bother reading the reviews was because I have stayed at this hotel before, and so did my traveling buddy back in December. Come to find out there are 2 Days Inn on international drive, and this was definitely not the one we stayed in. I am honestly surprised this hotel is still open. Its that old saying, you get what you pay for, we booked this hotel for $46 a night with taxes and fees includedTotal $185 for 4 nights. Check in was super smooth, we arrived around 12:30 am. We ended up getting a room all the way in the back of the hotel, and since we were 2 females we got hit on at least 3/4 different times walking to our room. There were guys hanging out at the deck smoking cigarette and weed, and just being stupid drunk harassing us. By the time we got to our room we called front desk to move us to a room closer to the front of the hotel so we could feel some what safer, not to mention the back rooms were very very noisy, like it was close to a bus or truck station. So by the time we unpack and get situated in our room and ready for bed is already 2 am.by 530 am i couldn't sleep because i was itching so bad, so when i turn on the lights i had bites all over my body, and when i pull the covers to check the bed there are BED BUGS..not 1 or 2.a bunchdisgusting, i wanted to peel off my skin. We packed super fast and went to check out, the receptionist offered another room, but i just preferred a refund. So it was 6am, we had barely slept and had no place to stay. Bottom line, don't stay in this hotel with all these negatives infoSave yourself the time and money and pay a little more for something a little better.
