What guests think

Many mention closed or poorly maintained amenities, with restaurants, bars, and mini golf often unavailable, and pools sometimes out of service or dirty. Breakfast is typically a very basic continental spread, and several guests object to extra resort fees and inaccurate advertising. Expect a bare-bones stay focused on budget rather than comfort.

Do not stay here. This was not a resort but I was charged resort fees. The property was supposed to have putt putt, playgrounds, and other activities but this was not available. Breakfast was cereal and bread. The restaurant was not opened. My daughter went swimming and ended up with cellulitis and a major infection. We had to spend a good portion of our trip at the ER. We left and went to a different hotel.

First room given had the shower and sink clogged, a/c was leaking, wet rug, no proper sheets, no working phone and just falling apart, without even a trash can. We were offered a change of room but had to wait for next day after 3 pm, no exceptions, which we hesitantly accepted. Second room was in better conditions but as it is a big apt complex had to travel by car to the lobby to use a microwave since that is not offered. 2 pools and a Jacuzzi but one pool and the Jacuzzi is out of service and served as a mosquito nest. Great location and so much potential but owners settle on bare minimum, I guess.

Looks nothing like the pictures. There was a dead bug in my bed first night. When I asked them to change it, they said there was no house keeping. Ants. Breakfast was indeed cereal and bread ( hot and cold, croissants and bagels) cream cheese and jelly was provided. Pool looked nothing like the pictures. Very dark at night. But it was located in a great location, still stayed there for 7 nights. Customer service was okay. Arcade is very out of date. The gym room is terrible. The restaurant and bar never open. Really unkept. I mean it was $56 a night, what do you really expect?

The check in desk was quite sub-par service. Had a reservation and 1 person ahead of us (that did not), and it took 35 minutes just to check in. Not very friendly on aware. There were always fun things going on around us. The pool, basketball court, workout room, even laundry! Keeps you busy, that is for sure. Very close to attractions. Will stay here again, will be requesting a room that doesn’t smell damp.

No internet for the 13 day stay their and no reimbursement for it... no deck over looking the "pond" which is actually a sewer over flow gully. Room dated to the mid 80's water stains all over even on the ceiling... garbage beds... but i guess you get what you pay for at $38 a night...

Cleanliness

Cleanliness is a recurring concern, with repeated reports of musty odors and mold, stained carpets/linens, and pests such as roaches or bed bugs. Housekeeping is inconsistent, and some guests say they had to self clean or change rooms immediately.

The room was completely filthy, shower and tub were not cleaned. Towels smelled as if they had been sitting in the washer for days and thrown in the dryer. Stains all over the carpet. It says no smoking but you can tell people smoke by the horrible smell. Tv did not work or even turn on, the phone in the room which I would have used only in an emergency was completely broken. Pool was not cleaned so I didn’t allow my child to swim. Pictures online show an older resort which I was okay with, being outdated is one thing but being filthy is another. There are a ton of rooms vacant with broken locks and windows. The whole place was very sketch and felt as if it had been used in a horror movie.

The room wasn't clean. There were cockroaches, spiders, and ants. The place is really old and the bed made me itchy. They advertise their complimentary breakfast but the options are kinda sad. There were stains in the chair so we didn't dare to sit on it.

This place was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in in 68 years. It was dirty, there were roaches, there was mold, we were only given bath towels, and no washcloths, and no hand towels. A lot of the guests were very sketchy hanging out outside smoking pot. I should have known when I pulled in and they were very few cars there. We had booked for two nights and we only stayed for one. We should not have stayed the first night but it was late by the time we got in. The whole place needs to be torn down and rebuilt. It’s very old. I would never stay there again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

I’ve stayed at many different hotels, this was one of the most unsafe, dirty, disgusting hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I have to tell you I don’t need a 4-5 star hotel, even a 2-3 is fine as long as it’s clean. I took pictures wish I could post them. There was stains all over the carpet, dust everywhere, rust stains, the bed was terrible, luckily no bed bugs but we slept on top of the comforter that’s how disgusting it was. The door didn’t even lock and the bottom wasn’t closed all the way. When we first got there we found bugs, if it wasn’t so late when we checked in I would have gone somewhere else but we were so tired, I wouldn’t even cared if I hadn’t gotten my money back that’s how unsafe and dirty this place was. Im not one to write reviews but this one is a must! Do not stay here!! It should be shut down! There wasn’t even a fire detector in place, the holder was there but the part for the detector was removed. The safe was rusted completely on the outside, the carpet was coming off the wall and piles of dust behind the dressers, stains all over the wall, yellow, and other stains. I didn’t take my shoes off that’s how gross it was. I honestly almost slept in my car. This place should be taken off Expedia! Do not stay here!!

The pictures online are far from what this place actually is. Blood stains on the carpet, bathroom light was flickering like a horror movie, dirt and dust accumulated from years of not cleaning properly. Switched my room to a different one and it was infested with roaches lol. I just left and bought a room at Hilton. Don’t let the price entice you. Spend a little more on a hotel that cares enough to clean and doesn’t advertise as a nice place to stay while actually looking like a crackhouse.

This place was beyond nasty. As soon as I walked in, there was a strong mildew smell. The bed skirt, chair, and even parts of the walls were covered in mold—completely unacceptable and a major health hazard. The room felt dirty and humid, like it hadn’t been cleaned or aired out in ages. There was only one towel provided. I honestly couldn’t even relax because everything felt so unsanitary. Save yourself the frustration and find another hotel. This place needs a serious deep cleaning and inspection before anyone should stay there again.

The first room had been broken into recently and the frame was warped, preventing it from shutting correctly. The second room they offered had a similar issue with the sort, but it was more secure. The telephone in the room was broken, the light in the bathroom didn’t work, the room had a weird smell, we found trash under one of the beds, and the carpeting was bald or had holes in several spots.

Cockroaches in the room. Over an hour to check in. Paid for a room with microwave and wouldn’t move me to the room I paid for. Very dirty shower. Only served slices of bread for breakfast (only allowed 2 pieces per person). Mold. Room smelled horrible. Wall collapsing and not properly patched. Carpet baseboards hanging off covered in roach droppings and spider webs. Underneath the paintings and top of bed frames moldy and dirty. Desk and cabinets collapsing and leaning over. Toilet very loose. Curtain ripped down. Door latch only had 1 screw. Only two lights in the whole room (one of the lamps didn’t work). Despite all of this the pool was nice and the lobby looked nice. There’s a nice small pond next to the property. Exterior looked nice compared to everything else.

This hotel is absolutely unacceptable for any guest. The phone had all of the keys and mechanisms ripped out of it. The curtains were shredded. The fire alarm appeared to have been ripped off the wall, along with whatever else was attached that left some kind of plastic piece behind. Maybe it was a thermostat? From the advertisement, it looked like there should be a hairdryer and coffee maker in the room, but there were none. There was not even a box of Kleenex or a trashcan anywhere to be found. There were mold stains all around the base of the shower and the refrigerator in the cabinet. This did not surprise me because the shower curtain would not stay on the curved rod, and all of the water was pouring out as we were trying to use the shower! We had to mop it up with our towels once we were done with them. The air was turned off completely when we arrived, so everything was damp because it’s 100% humidity and 99 degree heat in the middle of summer right now. The light switch for the room didn’t even turn on a lamp. Fortunately, the one lamp in the room was plugged in and had a bulb that worked. There was shampoo, surprisingly, but no other hygiene items besides a wrapped bar of soap. I tried three times to contact the front office with the phone number online, and it just kept going in circles to the same voicemail. Even the number was not attached to the name of the hotel. When I called it, it says “Blue Water Balloons.”

Bugs in the room. Door would not lock automatically (you have to shove it hard for it to lock). Stains on the bedsheets and walls. Babies crying in the other room at midnight. Truly an awful experience. Just pony up the extra $50 to stay somewhere better.

The room was very inexpensive compared to other properties, and the location was convenient to lots of activities. However, if you stay here, bring your own towels, toiletries, and extra pillows. The bed was very uncomfortable, and the security latch on the door was broken. Checking in was the slowest process I have ever seen in a hotel. Finally, there is supposedly wi-fi on the premises, but it must be dial up, because it sure is not high speed.

Hotel is definitely showing its age with a lot of repairs needed in lighting, doors (specifically deadbolt didn’t lock) and the hinges of the bathroom door were rusting. We had a king bed which as with most hotels are just 2 standard frames with a king mattress. The mattress was definitely old and you could feel the springs. Lighting issues specifically on the exterior of the building made the whole nighttime experience feel creepy on what used to be a unique and appealing property. It was clean, staff very friendly and prompt when asking for a blanket. For the value paid (which included resort fees) I think you get what you pay for. Pictures from website are misleading so just expect a “resort” that’s showing it’s age and you will have a okay stay.

I was with three friends. They told us we would have two kingsize beds. Instead we had two FULL (smaller than queen) beds. Very crowded with four grown men in two tiny beds. The heater didn't work and it was in the 50s. I complained to the desk. They told us they'd send somebody to fix it. They didn't until the next morning, half an hour before checkout, so we slept cold. Weirdly there was no trash can anywhere in the room. There were only 3 bath towels, and no hand towels. (They happily gave me more when I went to the desk to ask). There must be 500 rooms in this complex in 10 different buildings, but it seemed mostly abandoned. It was like staying in a ghost town.

Arrived at 9:30pm, the line was wrapped around the lobby and out the door. I waited 2 hours and 2 minutes in line to check-in. A woman came in and said when she checked in the day before, it was a 4 hour wait. Many people had issues checking in, and the employees were not announcing anything, so multiple people had the same issues that could have been resolved with an announcement. Got to my room, and they gave me an occupied room. Went back to get a new room, and I got a room with a NON-working a/c/heater. It was 12:30am at this point, so I dealt with it, since I had to be up in 6 hours. All TV channels are staticy or don't work. Also found a bug shell stuck to the furniture. I guess one positive is there were no bed bugs... DO NOT STAY HERE

Checked into the property and immediately found mold in the room. Overall property was very run down and dirty. Could not stay due to unsafe conditions. Warning!! The management will not respond to requests from Expedia so they will not issue any refunds. If Expedia cannot contact management then there is nothing they can do. Obviously management knows this and does not respond. Do not book this property!

Our recent stay at the resort was nothing short of spectacular, and a significant part of our wonderful experience was due to the exceptional service provided by Emily. From the moment we arrived, Emily greeted us with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that set the tone for our entire stay.Emily’s professionalism, coupled with her friendly demeanor, truly enhanced our experience. She was always available to assist with any queries and offered personalized recommendations that made our vacation extra special. Her passion for her job and genuine care for guests were apparent and made a significant difference in our overall satisfaction. We are incredibly thankful to Emily for making our stay so memorable and are already looking forward to our next visit. Her dedication and outstanding service are true assets to the resort.

Our first impression at this resort was nothing short of exceptional, thanks in large part to the incredible Emily, a true Godsend who seemed to work tirelessly across every department. From the moment she appeared, the entire lobby was transformed by her radiant, peaceful, and utterly contagious energy. Emily’s humility shone through as she selflessly served a less fortunate guest with genuine acts of kindness, while also handling the more opinionated guests with remarkable grace and compassion. Her presence alone was a catalyst for joy turning around everyone’s attitude in an instant. Even the staff couldn’t help but light up, their faces beaming with smiles the moment she arrived. It was like watching a complete 180-degree shift in the atmosphere, all thanks to her. I rarely feel compelled to leave reviews, but Emily’s impact was so profound that I couldn’t let it go unrecognized. My friend and I are already planning our return she’ll be back every month for 9 days, and as long as Emily is there, you can bet we’ll be there too. Thank you, Emily, for making our experience unforgettable!

This was by far the worst experience I ever had. We had to wait two hours in a line with no one willing to communicate with us what is going on just to find out they gave our room away. I called 4 times that day to confirm our flight was arriving late at 11:30 pm, we were there just before midnight, at 2:07 after giving the person in front of us a room they told us they had none left due to a party that didn't check out and that it wasn't their problem.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! I booked a room early in the morning for a standard king bed room and paid for it, but when I arrived at the hotel, there were no rooms available, except a room with 2 double beds. My boyfriend and I drove 2 hours to get there and for some reason, they didn't hold a room for me when I already booked it and paid for it. How can a hotel do that to someone?! I booked a certain room for a certain reason, so my boyfriend and I could spend time together. The point is that I booked a certain room and they deceived me, so I had to drive around to find another hotel to stay at and pay more money. I can't believe they did that to me!! I was having a rough week at work and just wanted to go somewhere to relax, but I guess they just give rooms out to everybody on a first come first serve basis. They even messaged me and said they look forward to me coming and to let them know if I had any special requests, which I did not. Worst experience I've ever had with a hotel and I will never try to book a room with them again!! You can try your luck, but not me. I really hope my money gets refunded back to me because that is just horrible customer service, and the management is either not running it right or the employees they hired just don't care. Either way, I have been charged for the room already and I had to spend time and money on another hotel, which should have never happened.

Last minute trip to Disney. Checked in after park hours, we waited about 2 hours in line to get our rooms. The gentleman, Armando, who checked us in was very nice, pleasant, and helpful. While waiting in line, there was a disgruntled woman who was taunting the employees the entire time, making a scene in the lobby. Upon checking out, we witnessed the same woman being escorted off property by police - which was nice. Both of our rooms smelled badly of cigarette smoke. There was a booger on the wall in the bathroom. Main room light and sink lights did not work. Mysterious things on the floor. Room was in poor condition. Our second room seemed slightly better. Upside: The room was very inexpensive. The shower was hot and sheets seemed clean. Did not put a damper on our weekend in the parks :)

Perfect location for theme park visits. Close to restaurants, easy in and out. Not the cleanest or most up to date but beds are comfortable and can't be at it for the price

The property is definitely not “Lakefront”, it’s views are overlooking a retention pond with a broken down fence in front of it, I called the resort a few days before and was told I could do early check in but when I got to the resort they refused to allow the early check in and was rude about it. The hotel was not in a good area; the room was ok but there were no trash cans, and no rags. When I tried to take a shower the stopper for the tub would not go fully into the shower mode so I ended up having to lay down and put my head under the faucet part of the tub to rinse my hair. Also, it needs to be noted on somewhere here that the hotel charges a $50 deposit and no certain time frame for when it will be put back on my card; one person says 1-2 days and another says 4-5 days I’m not usually one to complain but the pictures are not accurate and while not the most posh or expensive hotel I could have picked for my anniversary, I will definitely not be staying here again.

The hotel needs updated. Not a lot of choices for breakfast. Although the pool was nice. We felt very safe staying there.

No frills, solid stay with a cranking cold AC and comfy bed. I have stayed here many times and sometimes there are glitches (Need a new batteries for the remote, phone not working, etc) but for the price, it is a good room in a great location and they do their best to accomodate you. I would reccomend it.

My family of 4 needed a "base" for activities in Orlando. This hotel served those needs. Maingate gave us a place to rest our heads. We did not use the pool but it seemed ok. We used the mini golf course which was fun but seemed rarely used. Breakfast was better/more than expected. Staff were friendly. It is a VERY dated property and could use some upgrading for sure but the price was fair and we were not expecting the latest, up to date, resort style hotel.

Dining

Dining is very limited: many describe a basic cold continental breakfast (bread, cereal, yogurt/coffee), occasional gaps in service, and on-site restaurants/bars often closed. Several guests questioned added fees given the modest offering.

Paid a resort fee for breakfast (which consisted of toast and fruit) and mini golf which was overtaken by overgrown trees. The property itself wasn’t very clean but my room for the most part wasn’t horrible except for the broken bathroom door. That was the second room that I had to get though. First room door and peephole was broken. 27 dollar a night resort fee was ridiculous for what was provided. Staff was not very helpful with incidents that occurred

The breakfast is not correctly listed as its ONLY continental. The rooms are old, smell of mold in alot of rooms. The doors dont close properly and are not secure. The space needs updating and renovating. The hotel staff however makes the space tolerable. But I would not stay here again. The location is perfect. I had to switch rooms 3x. With kids and luggage its not ideal.

This was one of the worst hotels I have stayed at. The hotel was not welcoming and looked creepy right away. It sucked to drag heavy suitcases up staircases to our room. When we found our room, we were greeted by a rusted out pipe right outside our room that was leaking water. We could also hear a very loud sound from outside the room that we found out wasbthe air conditioner when we got inside. The air conditioner was so loud and never quieted down. There was minimal light in the room. We only had bath towels and did not have wash cloths, hand towels, nor a bath mat. The bathroom door did not close nor work. It had no latch, so there was no privacy for the bathroom. The light in the bathroom barely worked, which made it very unsafe to shower. The light fixture in the bathroom was also very loud and noisy. If we were not overly exhausted, we would not have slept. The worst part though was the $14 breakfast fee. I've never seen a more pathetic breakfast. It's a crime to pay $14 for toast, cheerios, and juice. This fee is absurd and there should not be an ammenity fee for a hotel this bad.

First room didn't have a shower knob, mattress sagged, and room stunk. Transferred us to another room which was better but the sheetrock above the tub was falling into the tub probably due to a leak in the room above. Staff was not very friendly and service was slow. They only served breakfast one of the two days we were there. Good thing is that there is free transportation to multiple parks.

This place has seen better days! The pool was the best thing about it. There was trash all around; my husband complained to one worker and some of it was picked up. No one at the front desk knew where the ice machines were. The cold continental breakfast was toast, cereal, yogurt and coffee! AND you had to check in with your room #! Right outside of the pool gate, was a broken, jagged light. We told the front desk about it and a woman walking around with a clip board. We were there 4 days and never saw it fixed! I would also like to know how Hotels.com can charge a resort fee and then when you check-in they tell you there is another resort fee! We ended up paying another $125 above what Hotels.com told us. We cannot recommend this dump to anyone!

This hotel is in prime location but it was not like it's pictured or description it was given. There is no general store- Walgreens outside parking lot, same as the mini golf. There is 1 shuttle a day. The first room I stayed in was disgusting - there was condensation all over the furniture and floor. Had to wear socks so I didn't fall. No washcloths, hand towels or bath mat. When I mentioned these to desk clerks, one didn't know what condensation was and when I went to get washcloths one of the clerks rolled her eyes at me. I understand Fema has put people in there, talked to a resident that had been there a month. Guess it's better than nowhere ...barely. Electrical tape holding screws, mildew on door and walls. They should be paying you to stay in that room. The next day I said I wanted a different room and I got one by the pool. Totally different in a good way. The rug was dirty but the room had been renovated, no condensation! Slept good that night. Their breakfast is a cold food meal but ok.

Overall a horrible night. We wanted to stay elsewhere, but no rooms available. We were put in a non-smoking room that reeked of smoke. The desk girl stated "they can\'t control what guests do ". We also ordered on non-pet room. We were put in a pet room which reeked of animals and had multiple stains all over room. There is an active drug trade in the rear parking lot. No effort by hoods to hide it. Check in was 2 hours. Only one girl at desk while the other was riding around with, what I suppose to be, the maintenance man. Multiple doors on rooms were kicked in on both floors, forced open by tools and the locks ripped off. Several rooms were secured using screws and angle brackets. The pictures of rooms and the main entrance are false. Nothing about this place is clean, nice or safe. Expedia, and other booking sites, needs to remove them from their sites. Simply put, I WANT MY MONEY BACK !!!
