"The hotel is located in the middle of the International Avenue. It is surrounded by resort hotels. The parking is very convenient. The distance between Disney and Universal Studios is similar. The uber is more than a dozen knives. There are publix supermarkets in a few minutes. It is very convenient to buy some food and drink. It is also very convenient to do it yourself. I don't want to have a good restaurant around the supermarket. There is a Japanese shop next to it. It is super hot, and I have to wait for it at 9 o'clock in the evening. It takes about twenty minutes to walk on the outlets, it is worth a visit, it is estimated that someone will not come out when they go in. The hotel will charge about 15% of the comprehensive service fee every day, which is probably the wifi parking fee, etc. You can't take it without your car. The room is large and comfortable, the balcony is facing the pool"
"Location, location, location! Good hotel, rooms are not big, but enough for two. Everything is typical for holiday Inns: food (french fries and hamburgers), service and so on."
Hotel near Orlando International Airport Area,Orlando
"The flight arrived very late at night, and it was easy to find after getting off the plane. I stayed there for two nights. The room was well soundproofed. There was no buffet breakfast in the morning for the two days, and the breakfast was average if you ordered it yourself. It would be better to eat somewhere else in the airport."

"I didn’t know what it would be like before I went. I was pleasantly surprised after I arrived. I think this hotel is warm and the food is delicious. The environment is beautiful and the facilities are complete. I recommend everyone to book this when you come to Orlando."
"Clean and well decorated. Room service needs to be called by yourself. There is a free shuttle bus to pick up and drop off different Disney parks every day. Oh, by the way, guests of this hotel can enter Disney early. We only found out on the last day that it was useless. When we arrived at the hotel, we asked for a card the day before yesterday, so we could enter the park half an hour earlier. If the arrangements are made, we can play a few more times. items."
"Every day when the baby and her father wake up, they go to the balcony to wait for the giraffes to come over for dinner. They can go out to play after watching them.
There is a special bus waiting area to go to all parks. It is very convenient to go every 30 minutes (you can see the real-time waiting time on the Disney World App. When you check in, the staff will help you bind the hotel to this app). If you need any service in the hotel, you can use a smart device in the room to summon a crew member. The staff are very enthusiastic.
There are many activities in Jumbo House alone. I stayed in the hotel for a day to eat and walk, but it was still not enough. I hope that when the baby is older, I will have the opportunity to come back to play. I didn’t play in the swimming pool, game room, night tour, etc."
"It didn’t start out well at the beginning. Property is huge but took awhile to check in due to long lines. After getting checked in and going to room on the other side and making it to the 17th floor, realized the key wasn’t working. I had to go all the way back down and wait in line another 30 minutes to address the issue. It was really annoying that I had to wait this long to get help with a simple issue. The room was nice and comfortable and had a great view but I noticed food on one of the pillows. I didn’t bother to alert staff. I just didn’t use that particular pillow. Aside from this, I think the food choices at Descend 21, could be much better. Th fries were overcooked but burger was just ok. Pool area was amazing!!! I could have stayed there all day! Hotel is also in a great area."
"Loved the view service at front desk were super nice and politely. I liked it so much I had to stay an extra night, even tho I knew my pockets said no but My heart said Yes.
It was worth it. You have to experience it yourself and you will see......Thank you all for the wonderful service that made me feel for 2 nights like I was a Millionaire and that was just with good kindness heart. Gracias"

Perfect
AAMohamedOverall experience is not bad but not as expected! Rooms are small and it’s missing a lot of important amenities for a family trip most importantly the microwave. The self laundry room operate by coins and the coin machine there is not working so you have to walk to the reception to get changes. They don’t charge resort fee but the charge $28 for a self parking which is far away from the building! You have to walk all the way there and pay $28 plus tax a day! There’s shuttle but don’t operate after certain times. Rooms are quiet, clean and full of towels. Location is not that great putting that you have to walk to the parking to get to the car and drive to the international drive near icon park. I don’t think I’ll book there again.
MMaria PortoExcellent location and very convenient for anyone visiting Universal Studios. Pools are a must and the hotel is very friendly overall. Highlights: airport shuttle (paid, Universal ShuttleStar), bus transportation to Citywalk all day every couple minutes (included), park early entrance (included), pools open till 10pm, market and Starbucks in the lobby. And, the biggest plus for me was the fact that they don’t have a strict check in rule: as long as they have a room available, you may check in (if you’re traveling in crazy hours with kids, this makes all the difference!).
Staff is great, very friendly and helpful despite the hotel being very busy at all times.
Rooms are clean - you don’t get service everyday but you can ask for anything and they leave you at your door. Again, despite the hotel being very crowded, kids running everywhere, everything was clean at all times.
Will definitely stay again.

GGuest UserWe happened to come across the Residence Inn as our flights were delayed and we needed to find new accommodation as our previous hotel was at capacity. So I did book this quite quickly and frantically however im so glad I found this hotel.
If you are looking to stay some where that is less crowded and without a million kids running up and down hallways then this is a good choice.
There is also a lovely pool area with spa to hangout for the day and laze around.
The breakfast is simple yet satisfying with both hot and cold options and you can even make Mickey Mouse waffles.
The only couple of very teeny tiny negative comments (which not all at the fault of the hotel ) is
1) this is not an ideal area If you don’t have a car unless you like walking. You will not be able to simply walk out get a coffe and comeback unless you are willing to walk at least 20 mins and cross major roads ….However you can Uber eats food drinks alcohol etc for as little as $2.00 USD so you don’t even have to leave if you don’t want to.
2) our air-conditioner did not work so the room became really humid I didn’t bother saying anything because we opened the windows and the cool air helped cool the room down
I would definitely stay here again if I had a car or just wanted to have a place to chill and never leave the hotel 😊

GGuest UserHotel was located between both universal and Disney . Free shuttle bus however the shuttle bus is very busy. Hotel breakfast very basic and disappointing. Not many options. Bedrooms are modern decorated however some issues . Bed bugs and ants had to ask to change sheets . They didn’t change and when I asked for room to be cleaned I kept being ignored until eventually had to get senior staff involved . Ant’s definitely a problem in the hotel . Liked that they offered free full size bathroom products this was useful . AC is at one temp and can not be controlled so can get very cold in the room and bedding is thin.

CCarmelWe liked our stay at this hotel. Liked the location and our room.
Staff are accommodating.
Breakfast was good but hopefully a breakfast buffet will be available too so as to have more options for the free breakfast included.
Definitely would rebook here for future travels and staycations.

GGuest UserThis hotel is in an absolutely fantastic location for Universal Studios - that’s without a doubt the key selling point. It’s next door to a DoubleTree Hilton which charges a lot more but is directly next door so with the Best Western you can stay just as close but for less. I had a problem with the air conditioning kicking in and out all night and the buttons wouldn’t fix it. I rang and reported it to reception the next morning, and when I returned I asked at reception and the person manning the desk didn’t know anything about it. I was worried. However I shouldn’t have been as when I got to the room it had been fixed by maintenance and remained on (phew) for the rest of my stay. The cleaners were great and serviced my room every day, leaving it lovely and fresh for when I returned from the theme park. The overall state of the hotel is a bit tired but this shouldn’t put you off booking - a hotel this close to Universal should mean you spend most of each day at Universal! If you’re planning to spend more time in the hotel, and don’t just need a comfy bed to stop over, then this may not be the hotel for you. However if you’re looking for a good price and a great location this is for you for sure! Just to note, there is a free shuttle to Universal it leaves once in the morning and returns about 5.30 (check most up to date times with the hotel). It’s free but quite small. Not a problem as Best Western is the first stop but it does pick up from a Hampton as well, and gets quite crowded. All in all, I’d give this hotel a strong 4/5!

GGuest UserThe hotel is just fine for an overnight stay as it is located 11 minutes from the airport. Which is convenient for us who had a flight with a late arrival.
Parking is free.
The breakfast is simple, correct and included.
The security service is good as there is a guard watching the hotel day and night.
Cockroaches? Yes we have seen it. Given the heat and humidity, that must explain their presence on the ground floor, but that shouldn't allow the staff to ignore their presence, leaving one the night of our arrival until the morning of our departure.
The bedroom is large, the two queen beds are perfect for a family of four.
GGuest UserThe location was perfect, we were the center of everywhere we needed to be. It's 25 min from the airport. We definitely enjoyed the tiki bar by the pool, good music, food and drinks. Breakfast began at 6:30am but didn't end until 9. Most places stop serving breakfast by 8/8:30 so this was a plus. Staff was friendly and service was prompt. Good place to stay.
Almost forgot to mention there's a mini store in the lobby area also.
