Our family travels to Orlando once a month and we have stayed at the Hawthorn Universal on Canada Avenue for the past 7 visits. We used to stay at the Hawthorn LBV and yes, these two properties are very similar. However, last year we stayed for one night at the Hawthorn Sea World and we were very disappointed. The hotel was older and our room was in very bad need of updating. The wallpaper was peeling, there were stains on the carpet, the furniture and appliances in the kitchen were old. The layout of the room was nothing like the other two locations. We were very surprised. Needless to say, we have never returned to this hotel. But we have always been happy with the LBV and Universal Hawthorns. For this months visit, I found the brand new Homewood Suites at Universal. We got a great rate from HotelMart USA so we are going to give it a try. They just opened on May 12th so it can't be too bad!
