Nice property very close to universal parks and a good breakfast with the rate. We had a delay and change of departure airport due to Hurricane Idalia so needed a good value hotel. To keep costs down due to the unexpected holiday extension, my family and I shared a room for 6 with my sister and her husband - it had two double beds and a sofa bed for the children. The staff were great and room was lovely except for the sofa bed! My children were crying it was that uncomfortable. I ended up putting one child in one of the beds and sharing the sofa bed with my oldest child. They weren’t wrong, we both had to sleep on the floor for the night in the end as it was that bad. A great stay marred by a dreadful sofa bed. I’d still wholly recommend if you need a room for four or less though. As long as you don’t need to use the sofa bed !

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It sounds like you had a generally positive stay at the property near Universal Parks, and I'm glad to hear that the location and breakfast met your expectations.However, it's unfortunate to hear about the discomfort you and your family faced due to the sofa bed. It's always disappointing when one aspect of a hotel stay doesn't meet expectations, especially when it affects the quality of your sleep. It's important for hotels to ensure that all sleeping accommodations, including sofa beds, are comfortable for guests.Your recommendation for rooms accommodating four or fewer people without the need for the sofa bed is noted, and it's a valuable insight for future travelers considering this property. Hopefully, the hotel can address the issue with the sofa bed to improve the overall guest experience.Despite the sofa bed issue, I'm glad to hear that the staff and the rest of your stay were enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your feedback, as it can be helpful for other travelers looking for accommodations near Universal Parks.
