Hi Nickman
We have booked here for October from 16th-29th when we get back off Disney Magic. Did a lot of asking around when we booked and got nothing but good reviews (see if the link works below to one of the threads from January). Hope this helps.

hi nickman

my daughter & I stayed at Homewood suites universal in september of last year. The rooms were very very clean, loved the fact that the bedroom closes completely off from the "living" area, had 2 queen beds & a tv in the bedroom, nice sized sofa & tv in the living area, the kitchenette was fully stocked, apartment sized refridgerator/freezer (not the tiny ones like in regular hotels) stove top & sink.
breakfast was plentiful, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs w/ bits of veggies & ham, either bacon or sausage links (they serve one & then when it runs out, they serve the other & so on. it would depend on what is there when you get down there) fresh fruits, danish, cereal, make your own waffles, juices. Plenty enough to fill up on. Our room overlooked I-4 but was quiet, we could also see IOA from our window. The pool was sort of small, didnt use it at all, didnt care to use it as we were at the parks all day. You are just a minute or 2 drive from the entrance to the parking garage of Universal. We loved this hotel but I cant seem to find decent rates on it anymore.

what's the address of this hotel? I'm always confused which is which. We're staying at the one at 3100 Parkway Blvd. There is one on Palm Parkway. Which one have you stayed at cinamin?
