The I-Ride trolley (really a bus) stops frequently along the street. At the north end of International Drive are two shopping meccas: Prime Outlets-Orlando and The Mall at Millenia.

We were very happy with our hotel room....we did ask for a King Bed, got to the hotel at 2:45 and told it wouldn't be ready until 4pm...they offered us a Queen in a big room if we didn't want to wait and we were happy with that. The hotel seems older but very clean and had everything we needed.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Universal stay"
My wife and I liked this hotel. The staff was friendly, I'm not sure if they could read that we were the type that didn't want to be bothered or if that was the general guest treatment. In any case it was just the way we like it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great sleep before or after a day at Universal"
The location is the best you can get for Universal Orlando without being inside the park itself. The bed was very comfortable. Hotel is not high end, but would be perfect for families.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel - Easy Access to Universal Studios"
This was our 2nd stay at the DoubleTree and it was just as good as the first time. The room was spacious, amenities were nice, and the view was incredible. We requested a park view, so we were able to see Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure from our 17th floor window. The only issue I had was the slight musty smell in the room. Don't remember […] that being the case during our first stay. But that didn't deter us from having a great room. We brought our own pillows, thank goodness, because the pillows they had were way too squishy. They would flatten out completely within 5 minutes of laying on them. Overall, the price was right for what we were expecting. It was really crowded during our stay, but that's to be expected during Spring Break. When you stay here, make sure to request a high floor. You'll love it. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Excellent and inexpensive"
This hotel was very nice walking distance from universal studios, right next to the iride trolley that takes u to all kinds of fun places. Concierge was very helpful and we received warm cookies on arrival. We always stay here on our universal trips makes it so price effectiveGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Only stayed one night but it was very nice. We were going to buy Halloween Horror Nights tickets through the hotel but it sold out that night and the concierge gave us worthwhile other options. We had a great time! Our room was very clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great stay;)"
Close to Universal Studios...many restaurants around within walking distance, and many on site places to eat...very nice!!! Clean, friendly staff, shuttle to Universal (but not needed)...will definitely be back here with our annual passes.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel was very nice the only down side was being charge for parking. This is the first time as a guest in a hotel that I have been charged for parking. :(Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quick visit to Universal"
This was the most nickle and dime hotel I've ever stayed at. $12 a night for parking a night. The shuttle to the park only ran every couple hours and the front desk suggest we just take a cab.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Double Tree Hotel, Orlando Florida"
When we arrived, 1/2 hour past check on date, our room was not ready. We were told it would be 15 minutes. That 15 minutes turned into an hour and a half. During that time, we were not offered a cocktail, an upgrade, or an compensation. When we asked if we could be switched to another room, as we had dinner reservations and would like to rest & freshen […] prior, we were told that there were no room available. The manager finally "found" a room and we were placed directly next to the stairs & listened to a banging door all night. We were woken at 8am by the housekeeper banging on the door asking if we were ready to checkout so she could clean. Not the restful, getaway for the night experience we were looking for.

"Doubletree Universal"
Stayed overnight for a romantic getaway. Perfect for our needs. Very nicely maintained for an older hotel. We were allowed to check in early, which was great, since we had early dinner reservations before BlueMan Group. I've stayed here before and it never fails to impress.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very nice hotel and great location. Clean, staff was very friendly. The only thing was having to pay for parking. Prob find another hotel next time with free parkingGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel at Entrance to Universal"
The room was very comfortable. And overall clean. We ended up in a handicapped room which in & of itself was not a problem, but, it was not equipped for both handicapped & non-handicapped. We couldn't hang our clothes in the closet because the only rod was low & no second rod in a high position. The handicapped button to open the door was not working […] which made the door very heavy & hard to open. Other than these few minor "inconveniences" it was great!

"Great Location to Universal Studios and Citywalk"
Great location to Universal Studios and to Citywalk. On the negitive side, the hotel does need some updated maintenance. The room carpets and sofa were stained, and they need to be replaced. It was a nice big room though. We never saw any carpets in the hallways and elevator waiting area ever vacuumed in two days we stayed. There was lint and stuff […] on the carpets everywhere. On the positive side, the staff and valet were always very nice and attentive. If you want convenience to Universal Studios and to Citywalk, this is a decent hotel. Not great, but not bad. You pay for location, location, location. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Doubletree-Across from Universal - FL"
We arrived just after 5 PM. I had booked a "King" room, with one king bed and a park view. We were checked in with a "deluxe" room, that had 2 queens and a pullout sofa-slight overkill for a middle-aged couple. There's a choice of valet or self-park, but the difference was only several dollars.Doubletree is another one of those chains (Hilton Honors) […] that charges for a service (Internet) that many lesser hotels provide for free, (though there's free connection if you want to schlep your computer down to the lobby). The walls in our room (411) were in need of a significant painting job; they were scuffed and dirty at levels much higher from the floor. The location is right across the street from Universal's main entrance, but the main gate is a significant distance from the automobile entrance point on Kirkman Rd.

"Great place!"
This hotel is beautiful and was perfect for my husband and I. We walked to Universal every day and took a cab back for $5 every night. The concierge was very helpful too. We rode in a new Expedition back to the airport! The only negative I have is stay away from the restaurant. The breakfast buffet is really expensive, so we decided to sit diwn and […] eat instead. Our service was horrible, the food was bad and the orange juice is cheaper in the gift shop. Once we got our bill there was a 16 percent gratuity automatically added to our bill! We felt really ripped off. Otherwise our room was really nice and the location was great. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
I loved everthing about staying at this hotel. My only negative is that the doors on all the rooms slam hard and loud and can be heard all down the hall at any time of the day or night. You can also hear everyone talking in the hallway. Soundproofing on the doors would be an excellent addition.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"BEST LOCATION!!! 10 MIN. WALK"
We stayed for 2 nights and walked to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (about a 10 minute walk). Nice hotel and very convenient, right across the street from Universal. would stay again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location For The Attractions! Great Price!"
I have stayed a couple of times here. It's great! The only thing that you might want to be aware of is that they charge $12 for self parking. They do give you complimentary warm oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies. Yum!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Conveninent to Universal w none of the high prices"
This is a great option to stay at if going to Universal Orlando...however, not with-in walking distance to the park so you will still have to drive and pay to park. The hotel staff was very friendly and the rooms were very clean and modern. The night security guard even let us stay late in the pool b/c we'd just arrived...very sweet of him. Will stay […] there again! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice hotel but hidden costs."
shuttle service to the park was misleading. only runs a few times a day but there is cab service for a flat $5 fee. Thought it was ridiculous that if you didn't want to pay the $16 valet parking, it was still $12 to park yourself. Would rather have paid more for the room than feel i was getting ripped off.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had a fantastic stay....the only downer was the fact that we had to pay $12 a night for parking. Other than that, the hotel is clean, quiet and the employees are very knowledgeable and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to Universal"
This was our second stay at the DoubleTree. I am a big amusement park fan, so we spent the day at Universal, which can't be more than a mile from this hotel, and then walked to the Ale House to watch a UFC fight in the evening (the Ale House is on the same block). There is also a Starbucks in the lobby, a great outside seating area just to hang out, […] a tiki-pool bar, and a buy-one-get-one happy hour at the hotel restaraunt/bar downstairs. Although we did not order anything or need any service, the hotel staff we ran into on the elevators/in the halls seemed very friendly - every one of them asked how our stay was going and if the could get anything for us.

"The ideal choice for Universal Studios"
I've stayed at the Doubletree on Major Boulevard twice now because it matches everything that I want - location, good-size room, price and convenient access to other attractions (the I-Ride trolley stops just outside, giving you access to International Drive and Seaworld). It's a pleasant 15-minute walk to Universal Studios, the staff are helpful (they […] even granted requests for extra cookies) and there's a useful gift shop and deli. My only real complaint relates to the high-ish prices in the restaurants. Overall - highly recommended. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"CONFORTAVEL, BONITO E IMPONENTE."
FIQUEI UM POUCO DECEPCIONADO COM ALGUNS SERVIÇOS QUE NA MINHA OPINIÃO DEVERIAM SER AVALIADOS MELHORES: INTERNET NOS QUARTOS, CAFÉ DA MANHÃ E ESTACIONAMENTO. UM HOTEL COMO ESSE NÃO DEVERIA ABRIR MÃO DE OFERECER ESSES SERVIÇOS INCLUSO NO PREÇO. FICARIA MUITO MAIS SATISFEITO E USUFRUIRIA MELHOR DO MESMO.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
