Recommendation on a good hotel near Universal

[yosh12]

Hi,

Looking for a clean hotel near Universal Studios /IOA. Will be going next September. Looking in the $60-70 range. Close to the park is good.

Thanks for your help

Try the Double Tree and the Best Western Universal, all right there by the park.

We stayed at the Quality Inn on International Drive. We were just minutes away from US. I really liked the hotel . There are two of them though, on Int. Drive. We've actually stayed at both, one is not the greatest. The one we stayed at last had an ironing board and Iron, coffee pot, microwave, and fridge. The address for this one is 7600. We are staying there again when we go in March. Also when an adult buys a breakfast/lunch/dinner a child can eat free. They also provide free transportation to US.

I'll also say the Best Western, but it may be tuff to get at $60-$70. There's one right across the street within walking distance. It has free breakfast.

Then there's the Best Western Movie Land resort directly across from Wet N Wild. This hotel costs a little bit less, and has more rooms, but they don't serve free breakfast. But then you're right across the street from WnW, and you can walk down the street for breakfast. Then you could drive your car over to the other BW and walk across Kirkman road to save the parking fee. Try my little tour here to get an idea of the area.

We are going in 2 weeks and will be staying for a week at the Radison.

Its $59.99 a night right now. I booked through Dreams unlimited but when I called the Radison to add more nights on they did verify that they are running the $59.99 a night and it wasnt just through DU.


Has kids eat free program, shuttles to the parks, 3 pools with waterfalls & a water slide etc.

Apparently I am not allowed to post a URL wihtout a certain number of posts :rolleyes: but if you do a search for Orlando area hotels or go to Dreams Unlimited it should bring it up. If not here is some of the stuff they have

We stayed at the Sheraton Studio City on I Drive prior to checking into the RPR. We loved it. Payed about $79 per night. The hotel was clean, well themed, very close to Universal, and the staff was great! I would stay there again!

We are staying at the Fairfield on Canada Ave. They have a free breakfast and it cost us $59 a night. You would have to drive or take the shuttle though.

We have stayed here several times. Close to themeparks, Five minute drive. On International drive. Lot's of dining options nearby. Clean but older. Have heard some bad reports, but have never had a bad experience myself. Rooms have great view of themeparks too(on North Side)
