Days Inn - Orlando Maingate to Universal Hotel - Orlando 28.47647, -81.45678

Consider the price, everything is pretty good except the drunk people on weekend

Although all the things I read before booking I took the chance, for the price we paid for this hotel I definitely recommend it. Clean, room service, you need something they bring it fast. My family and me really enjoy it. Now if you are looking for luxury and to be all day in a hotel you don't want this. But if you are going to Orlando's attraction and need a place to "sleep" and "economic". This is the one...Once again I recommend it.

Location was about the only great thing about this hotel. We were literally 3 minutes from universal studios & island's of adventure. This hotel is great only if your only going to sleep. As far as looks, it needs MAIJOR updates. I went with a party of four and stayed in two seperate rooms. Our room looked horrible, one of our beds had a stain on the comforter, the sink looked like it was going to collapse and the television had no reception to w/e it is they're paying for in the hotel for our tvs. The shower worked when it wanted, as in the water would be hot one minute then warm then freezing. We never ate at the hotel so i can't critique their complimentary breakfast. I would not like to stay here again, their staff was scary and unfriendly. The area was great for such a dingy hotel. I think they should better manage this location, then it would be beautiful. I mean shoot the surrounding hotels are the hyatt & double tree, this was really a stick in the mud hotel. I don't think it was worth what we paid.The price you pay is only for the convienence to the parks.

Hotel needs renovation. The grounds are decent, but rooms are old and somewhat dirty. AC/Heat did not work in our room. (It was 45 degrees in morning) OK for a cheap hotel.

Good hotel for the price. Very good location. Needs improvement in the paint and construction.

The hotel two blocks from Universal and as long as your room is away from the on-site lounge, it is not bad for the stay. We stay here when we are in town for Universal because of the ease of getting to and from the park. If you are staying for more than a day or two, spend the money to stay at a better hotel.

this is the worst hotel i have ever stayed. Beds and pillows were filthy. i would suggest people to spend some more money to get a good stay.

Hotel needed an upgrade everywhere...the room's mattresses were awful and you could feel the metal springs while you slept. Cats were roaming around everywhere outside the hotel. Room smelled muggy and the a/c was loud. The only plus side was that it was near the restaurants and Universal Studios.

We were pleased with the hotel, the room was clean, the pool was cold, but then it was November. Very good value.

We stayed one night. It was an outstanding value and location. SO close to Universal. Disappointed in the 'breakfast buffet', if you don't have a voucher, you have to pay and it's not really worth it. You had five choices, no juice, no creamer. The room itself was alright. One of the comforters was stained but we didn't bother with because it was just one night. So for what you're paying and its location, not bad at all. It's an affordable place to stay before or after a day at the parks.

There was an unidentified stain on one of the bed covers. Other than that for the money and price it was a fair deal.

The price was great, but the hotel was obviously aging. The room and property were clean, but nothing special. The shower was hot then cold (and I mean COLD) then hot again, repeat this about 10 times in the course of a shower. The bed was a little lumpy, but overall not too bad. It was very quiet, and while in a great location close to Universal, it was set way off of the main roads making it both very quiet and secluded, but also a little hard to find if you have people meeting you there. Overall, I would stay here again as long as the price remains low.

Rooms are clean. Old hotel. Saff at the front desk we very nice and helpful. walking distances to universal, but a long walk. Taxi from universal to hotel only $5.00.

This isn't the best hotel but it's a great value. I have stayed there 3 times now and it's a good place to crash after a day at the park. It isn't a four star but its a nice place to rest you rhead.

i was a little skeptical of the room since i didnt check reviews until after i booked the room and it seemed like a lot of people were disappointed but we had no problems whatsoever. obviously its not a five star hotel but it had everything we needed and we have no complaints whatsoever. it is ridiculously close to universal which is where were going and you can't beat the price. so ignore all the bad feedback and give it a try.

our only problem was we couldnt understand anything some of the cleaning ladys said and both comforters had yellow stains it was nasty

Didnt tell us of free breakfast voucher, room wasn't cleaned at all for 2 days, tv not working

When we arrived, my wife forgot to print out the tickets for Halloween Horror Nights and luckily they allowed her to use the lobby's private computer to print them out. It was clean, comfortable and had a friendly staff. What else is there to say?

We went to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights and when I got there I asked if we could get a king bed instead of 2 doubles being that we were only there for 1 night and were not even going to be there long and she upgraded us to a suite. Yes it needs remodeling but the stay was great.

Overall a decent hotel. The room was clean when we arrived and fairly comfortable. The hotel is literally right across the road from Universal which was extremely convenient and very well priced for the location. Now for the bad news. When my husband and I arrived, there were no towels in the room and after a long day of traveling I was looking forward to a warm shower. I called the front desk and it took housekeeping almost two hours to bring me ONE set of towels. In the course of our three day stay our room wasn't turned down once. Again, marginally a nice hotel but the housekeeping staff needs to get their act together.

the rooms were clean and the ac was cold, but the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. the wallpaper and paint were peeling off . the floor was dirty, the towels were dirty, and the worst part was the tub was clogged and filled up with dirty yellow water that NEVER drained. not even a little. was still full in the morning when we woke up. the sheets were clean and the location was great. but i will never go back there.

Fantastic location to Universal Studios. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The "needs improvement part" comes from having no breakfast available or coffee makers in the room (only vending machines)and a "local phone use charge" automatically added on to your room whether you use the local phone or not (this charge is stated on the check in). If you are looking for a place to just lay your head after a busy day at the park, this location is fine.

It was just perfect after all day long at Universal. Breakfast was not that great but I met its purposed before driving back to Miami.

The quality, service, and cleanliness of the hotel is what you would expect from a 2 star hotel. However, the vicinity to Universal Studios is amazing! If what your looking for is a place to sleep while being a stone throw from Universal, this is your place.

We were able to check in early. It's not fancy but it was nice cool and served our purpose to be right next to Universal. Would recommend it to anyone!

It was a really nice hotel. The only thing it doesn't have is a continental breakfast. Other than that it was great.

The hotel was really close to Universal Studios, it was ok for the money. We haven't really used any of the amenities. Cleanliness could use some improvement.

Very friendly staff but first room had no hot water and then were moved to another room with no deadbolt lock (part missing).

You get what you pay for...the rooms had wear and tear but they were clean.

We just needed a clean room with clean beds to lay our weary bodies down on after running around at Holloween Horror Nights all night! The shower was surprisingly large and the shampoo and soap came in handy.

the hotel looks great from the lobby,until you get to your room. the room had a mold like smell to it. the bathtub was stained. the wallpaper in the bathroom peeling off the walls and there was some visible mold. i was so unsure the tub had been cleaned because of the stains i wore shower shoes. the only good thing about this hotel was the location. It was in fact right near the main entrance of universal and was about a 15 minute walk

Mediocre hotel, but for the price and convenience I would definitely stay there again.

Great location. Room floor was soiled with hair from prior guests. The first room we were in had a broken air conditioner. Managment wanted us to wait an hour to get maintenance there to check it out. Finally we were able to change rooms. The TV cabinet was broken and the door stayed open. The bathtub was dirty and the paint was cracked and peeling inside of the tub. The shelf/closet area was completely dirty and had prior guests pubic hair all over it. The entire room was so dusty we couldn't stay another day.

I was specifically looking for a hotel close to Universal Studios that would allow dogs. I was very happy with this hotel & how dog friendly it was, especially since we had 5 dogs. It is conveniently located to the park and they even have a contract with cab drivers offering a reasonable rate. Naturally, you get what you pay for with this hotel (it is definitely not a luxury place) and the condition of the rooms that allow dogs is not perfect, but overall I was satisfied with our stay.

Rates are good, staff is friendly, somethings do not work properly but it is a good hotel for the money you are paying for

Everything was great. I have stayed here before and of course went back and will keep going. Its in a great location, its clean and safe. For the price, it just doesn't get much better than that!

This hotel had tile floors, which I thought was much more clean than having carpet. We didn't stay long, just slept there after going to Horror Nights. It was quiet and clean.

Overall, everyone was polite, and the rooms were tidy, however there was mold in the bathrooms, many of the appliances in room were old and rusty.. it reminded me of a "cheap motel", however the location couldn't have been better for the price. The only direct aggravation was the cleaning ladies pushing their carts several times every hour from 7:30am on, and the lawn maintenance crew consistently making noise off and on from 8am sharp to about 11. After getting home and in bed around 4 a.m. that was an extremely unpleasant experience. I'd rather have just paid a little bit more, but I was looking for a good price. Now I know to pay the extra Hamilton next time..

The only thing that I would say that I didn't like was the fact that there is someone in the lobby as you check in waiting to get you to buy something. You have been traveling and the last thing you want is a sales person trying convince you to buy tickets. Overall it was a good stay for the price.

Great location for Universal but the hotel is in major need of repair. Ants in the room- lots of noise outside- beds were not comfortable.

The front staff was helpful and friendly. The non-smoking room was clean, comfortable, and didn't smell like someone had disregarded the "no smoking" signs. It was a two-minute car ride from the parking garages at Universal, and provided a shuttle service to a number of Orlando theme parks. The only complaint is that when parking behind the hotel to get to the back rooms, you must take a convoluted way around the hotel. Overall, I will definitely keep this place in mind when returning to Orlando.

I was worried at first that seeing as the price was low the hotel would not be decent, but to my surprise the hotel was very clean had a refrigerator and nice furniture !! This is the second time I have gone there and will continue !!
