International Drive's largest claim to fame is the Universal Orlando Resort, home to two theme parks — Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios; the water park, Wet 'n Wild; and the entertainment area, CityWalk. 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.

People hanging out in the hallways was a bad sign already. Room did not look like the pics online at all. Horrible experience.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For the price it was really good... The staff were very nice..very close and convenient to Universal Studios.. I would recommend it if you are just going to spend the night, not if you are going to spend most of the time in it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"nothing special"
I was looking for somewhere to sleep close to Universal after a Mardi Gras concert...the location is great! However the hotel is run down and had a horrible smell in the hallway and room...check in was lightening speed fast and it was quiet at night, it served its purpose for us, but we will not be returning.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Worst hotel ever"
The staff there was really rude to me. There was no wifi in the rooms and room smelled awful. There was a hair in the shower that wasn't mine. It was one of my worst hotel experience ever. The cable in the room didn't even come in clear and only got a very few channels.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Old hotel, poorly maintained . Cheap. Poor breakfast. Will not go there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Upon researching a hotel close to where I needed to be for my business trip, I found that this hotel was less than three miles away from my final destination. I was attracted by the pricing, the location (directly across from Wet n Wild), and the beautiful pictures that were posted online. However, upon my arrival I was very unhappy about the appearance […] of the hotel and the staff was not very friendly and didn't even have that warm welcome smile I was hoping for. While looking for my room (which they didn't direct me to properly), the hall ways had a moldy stench filled with cigarette buds, the walls can certainly take a coat of fresh paint, NO ELEVATORS, and the building's canopy was falling apart (I prayed sooo hard that it wouldn't fall on me, every time I exited the back door to get to my car). On the other hand, I will say that once I entered my room, I was at peace. My room was well kept, clean, cozy, included hygienic items I needed and also included a fridge, good size television, and an iron. The continental breakfast tasted very stale; as if the bagels where recycled. Overall, I would say that some maintenance work is needed, and a little hospitality training for the staff. Especially seen that it is located on one of the busiest roads in Orlando. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"SAFA Meeting: 07/09/11"
The mattress in my room was way to "worn", and needed to be more sturdy and/or stiff for stable comfort. There was no "premium" channel cable network (i.e., HBO, Showtime, Starzz, Encore, The Movie Channel, etc). Other than that, I liked the staff and the room was clean.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Well-worn hotel."
Obviously older hotel (cracked concrete stairs) Shower/bath selector frozen as shower only. Very clean room & comfortable. Easy check-in & check-out.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"just OKAY"
read the reviews and was worried. The room is an average room. They tried to paint it and make it look updated. beds were alright. Location was great. The outdoor hallway and rooms do smell a little, but you aren;t paying much for the hotel, so you kinda have to deal with it. Our tub was broken and we asked and booked the room with a fridge since we […] had two babies with us. When we got there, no fridge and they were not able to give us one. they offered a zip lock bag with ice. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Staff made up for the rest"
The staff was very good to TRY to fix what was wrong, but some things were just not fixable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"rate promo was great value"
I wouldn't want to pay full list price, but for the great promo rate in March, this hotel was tops. I booked 3 nights, afraid to commit more without seeing it. I scouted another property in similar price, but ran away fast! I spent 7 nights at Metro Xpress. Clean and well-maintained for a moderate-priced property. Front desk and maintenance staff very […] well-spoken and mgr accomodated my request extra well. Towels are scratchy (sheets okay though), breakfast is gross continental, tv channels limited, no jacuzzi. Patio bar was nice feature. Bed was basic but comfy enough, AC in room pretty quiet. Indoor hallway access to all rooms, which I prefer for quiet and security. Be ready for loud and busy International Drive -- it's totally crammed with hotels, kitschy souvenir shops and icky chain restaurants that Americans seem to love. But that location suited me fine, close to where I needed to go and I had a car. Whole Foods short drive away. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Disappointing and underwhelming."
Our room was extremely low class, pretty much on the order of a roadside motel in Alabama. The furniture was old. The mattresses were sagging secondhand mattress from Marriott. The first thing we saw when we went in was a big iron burn in the middle of the carpet. The towels were thin and threadbare with very meager amenities. The beds were uncomfortable […] with thin cheap sheets. No frills or PPV on the TV. the furniture was scratched. The walls were so thin that people sitting outside our window sounded like they were inside our room. The next morning we arose early, ready to leave. I figured we would check out the "free breakfast" near the pool. I was looking forward to some nice hot oatmeal, waffles, hash browns, eggs, perhaps some breakfast meats. What breakfast? It was a doggone continental breakfast complete with danishes and coffee, oh yeah, and toast. In summary, we were attracted to the price, but we could have done better even for that price. We will never return, so don't bother leaving the lights on for us. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not happy"
In addition to paying all the fees to Expedia, the hotel charged me additional fees. The sheets were not clean.Genuine Expedia guest review

I`ve been in this Hotel 4 times, one forvacation and one for business. It's a good hotel, the only problem is the breakfast room, they destroyed the old one and now there is a little space outside, beside the swimming pool. It is terrible. Maybe it is better to have breakfast outside. The other problem is the internet access, it only woks on the lo […] bby. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
