I booked 2 rooms here for 5/15 - 5/18 as the 2nd part of our vacation after leaving Clearwater Beach. As we pulled in, we immediately noticed that there was a lot of construction going on, and the whole front entryway was a complete mess and all dug up. The rooms were not going to be ready for a couple... More

The hotel was dated and worn. Some of the furniture actually had chew marks on it.They must have given themselves the plus because they do not even have available the things that they advertise that are suppose to be the reason for the plus. The hotel is not walking distance to universal studios as advertised. Would not go back.

Outside and lobby appearance was very nice. Easy to get to from the main road and plenty of parking. Parking free-a number of Orlando hotels charge patrons for parking! The room was clean and comfortable. Linens soft and fluffy, bedding good quality. We stayed a number of days and had good cleaning service each day. Front desk staff was very... More

We love staying at Best Western Plus Universal Inn for a variety of reasons. First of all it is very close to Universal's Islands of Adventure and Studios. So close, you could walk to the parking area and from there take there moving sidewalks to the parks or to City Walk. Secondly, the rooms are clean and comfy. Though there... More

This hotel was very clean and had everything we needed for a two night stay. We had a room with two queens. The beds are extremely comfortable. Nice tile bath, in room safe, and mini-fridge. The breakfast was OK. We've stayed at lots of Best Westerns. Always the same and would like more variety, but it was sufficient to fill... More

I have now stayed at this hotel three years in a row, six days each time. It has very clean, comfortable, well-appointed rooms; nice pool; good hot breakfast and within walking distance to quite a few restaurants. Twenty minutes from the airport.

I stayed here with some friends, my brother and my sister for a 4-day trip to go to Universal Studios Orlando. The hotel is clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The location is decent and is within a good distance to the theme parks. If you're on a tighter budget and you don't want to pay resort hotel... More
