No title - expert review
When it opened in the mid-1970s, this was the largest convention hotel between Miami and Atlanta. It's still a hotbed of business-trippers, but it also attracts plenty of pleasure-seekers, since it's right at the Universal Orlando entrance. Don't worry about noisy conventioneers - the meeting and co...

With the mirror-like exteriors of its bold pair of towers and the minimally detailed open spaces throughout its grounds, this hotel physically reflects its devotion to efficient convention business and the facilitation of productivity. However, its location at the entrance of Universal Studios makes...

Although this hotel had the usual trappings you would expect from a doubletree, the details diminished our overall experience. The lobby was drab, public restrooms in the lobby were horrible and our room showed signs of age. Service was great, however, ...

Didn't know we had to pay $10.00 to park our car at the hotel per day by valet or $5.00 per day to self park. The hotel's appreance from the outside was beautiful as well as inside. The valet's were very pushy and didn't let us temporarily park our car to check in without valeting it first. Once the...

Other than the fact that I called ahead and requested a non smoking room I think they put me in the smokiest smelling room they had. Also when I called the front desk to try and see if they could get me another room the desk person was rude. They said they would call me back in an hour to tell me if...

The room was very clean and nice. However, paying to self park was insulting and not on the level of a three star hotel in my opinion. I felt I was being taken advantage of.

There is a $5 per day fee to self park. The front desk personnel answer constant phone calls to the detriment of people in line. Wake up calls and messages are ads for time share promotion offer.

We arrived late, but called from the road for a non smoking room with a king size bed. We were told the bed could not be guaranteed at that hour.

When I arrived with my wife and 2 kids (4 yrs and 9 mosses), the desk clerk informed me that all she had was smoking rooms. I then told her that's unacceptable (due to despising smoke and the fact that I don't want my kids around smoke). She then proceeded to place me in a non smoking room with 1 ki...
