    "Jerry is available for taking you to the parks and to the other locations you may need (he took us to the bus station), with good fares." source Hostelworld

    "The location is fine, close to Disney, the staff is helpful and the hotel itself could be very nice (pool nearby a lake)." source Hostelworld

    "location is on highway so, maybe not the best but bus stop is just 3 minutes away, and all the bus info is given to you." source Hostelworld

    "Easy to navigate to the theme parks, but out of the way for downtown Orlando." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "It was ok for that price, but still I didn't expect that much dust (especially underneath the bed - there was so much dust I got a problem lying in bed because I am allergic to dust)." source Hostelworld

    "its like a motel, securitys good tho, with lockers & so on, staffs helpfull enough, its a bit out the way but there some good value shops close by, average so far as cleanliness." source Hostelworld

    "Bus to universal studios at least 2 hours although they will shuttle you there for reasonable cost." source Hostelworld

    "awesome place for the price but way out of the way if your arriving in Orlando." source Hostelworld

    "other than that an alright place to stay for the price." source Hostelworld

  • Room

    "At the same time let\'s be fair: Not the cleanest I\'ve seen but by far not dirtiest, at least rooms were swiped & trash cans emptied daily." source Hostelworld

    "this place is basically an old run down motel where they have have taken a previously single room and rammed in 8 beds (bunks)." source Hostelworld
