Hotel Landy absolutely exceeded my expectations! I was pleasantly surprised to find an arcade on-site—such a fun little bonus. While I didn’t make it to the pool, the area looked inviting and well-maintained. My room was spotless, and every staff member I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and genuinely warm.

This place is a hidden gem in Orlando. I’d 10/10 recommend it and will definitely be returning. It’s not just a hotel—it’s a great home base for your Orlando adventure.

The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Universal Studios and I-Drive, making it super convenient for park visits and exploring the area. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep.

Rosen Inn International Near the Parks
Staying at Rosen Inn International was a great experience for me, especially since it's just minutes away from Universal Studios and other major theme parks in Orlando. The rooms were spotless, the staff went out of their way to be helpful, and I appreciated the free parking and refreshing pool—perfect after a long day of sightseeing. While the hotel does get busy, especially during peak seasons, that’s more a sign of its popularity than a flaw.

It’s not fancy, but it delivers exactly what budget-conscious travelers need: comfort, cleanliness, and a prime location.
Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando
Staying at Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando was a great experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk or quick ride to major attractions like Disney, making it super convenient for families or tourists planning a busy itinerary. The hotel faces an interesting building with a unique look (kind of like a quirky landmark), which adds character to the area. Inside, there’s a mini Starbucks in the lobby—perfect for grabbing a morning coffee before heading out. There's also a small convenience store nearby, though prices are on the higher side, but it's handy for last-minute essentials. Cleanliness is top-notch throughout the property, and the room itself felt fresh and well-maintained. One thing to note: no complimentary bottled water or kettle provided in the room, which could be inconvenient if you’re used to brewing tea or hot drinks. However, the room does come with a microwave, which is useful for heating up meals or snacks. Breakfast is solid—good variety and quality, though sadly no Chinese options. Still, plenty of American-style choices to keep everyone happy. The elevator area has a soda vending machine and ice maker, so you can always grab a drink or ice late at night. All in all, this place offers excellent value, great access, and a comfortable stay. I’d definitely return.
Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort
The room was incredibly clean—every corner was spotless, which made the stay so much more enjoyable. That said, this resort is massive! If you're checking in, definitely ask for a room close to the lobby. Our room was a good 10-minute walk away, and dragging our bags through the corridors wasn't ideal. It's especially tiring if you're traveling with kids or elderly family members. While the overall experience was fantastic and worth every penny, location within the resort matters more than we expected. Next time, I’d request a closer room upfront to save time and energy. Still, it’s an amazing place with great vibes and top-notch cleanliness—just plan your room selection wisely!
Residence Inn Orlando at Millenia
The room was spacious and incredibly comfortable, with plenty of room to move around and relax after a long day exploring the city. The location is excellent—just a short drive or quick transit ride away from all the major attractions in Orlando, including Disney World and Universal Studios. I appreciated how easy it was to get around without feeling rushed. The staff were friendly and efficient throughout my stay, making check-in and check-out smooth. Everything about this property felt clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. I’ve already started planning my next trip back—this place truly delivers on comfort, convenience, and value. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Orlando!
Holiday Inn & Suites Across From Universal Orlando
Staying at the Holiday Inn & Suites Across from Universal Orlando was a great experience overall. While the hotel has a slightly dated appearance, it truly captures the festive holiday vibe that makes it stand out. One thing to note is that complimentary water isn't provided in the rooms, so I’d recommend bringing your own bottles—especially important when spending long days at the park. Though it's directly across from Universal, the walk takes about 20 minutes, so waking up early is key to making the most of your day. The shuttle service is available but runs infrequently and fills up fast—plan ahead if you're relying on it. Despite these minor inconveniences, the location, value for money, and unique atmosphere make this a solid choice for families or anyone wanting to be close to Universal without paying premium prices.

Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a stress-free, enjoyable stay.

Definitely a solid choice if you're looking for value and comfort.

Located just a 15-20 minute walk from the convention center, Residence Inn Orlando Convention Center offers unbeatable convenience for business travelers and event attendees. The breakfast spread is fantastic—fresh, varied, and always satisfying, with local touches that make it feel special. I especially appreciated the complimentary luggage storage, which made checking in early or leaving late stress-free. The hotel’s location, comfort, and thoughtful amenities truly stand out. If you’re visiting Orlando for work or leisure, this is definitely a top pick. I’ll be booking here again without hesitation.
Rosen Inn Closest to Universal
Staying at Rosen Inn was an absolute delight! Located just steps away from Universal Studios, the convenience couldn’t be better—no long walks or transfers, just a quick stroll to the park. The room was clean, well-designed, and spacious for the price. The only minor note is that the bathroom is a bit compact, but the smart dry-wet separation makes it feel much more functional and comfortable than expected. The bed was incredibly cozy, perfect for a good night’s sleep after a full day of theme park adventures. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value with its unbeatable location and thoughtful layout.
