Good Hotel
The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The check in and out was very fast. The only thing I was disappointed with is that in the area of the mini-market they were always playing Spanish music. They need to have a variety and not cater to just the Latino's. We all live in America and have different tastes.

good to be there****
We stayed there only 2 nights. We spent only thru the night to get showers and sleep. There was nothing we could say bad things abt this hotel. We checked in around 09:30Am and our room was ready. Beds are very comfy. But I could hear next door talking that was a mom was talking to her child at 11:00pm.

Good Stay!
They staff was very nice! Hotel was right new to the water park and 5 minutes away from Universal!!! Food everywhere. Only downfall was parking after 9 at night you are searching for a spot sometimes not finding one and parking down the street. Only on major nights thought!

Retired at last!
I recommend this bargain!
This hotel featured a central location close to the freeway, but not on it. All staff were friendly and helpful. When we made a request, we got what we needed and the desk followed up to make sure that we were satisfied. The hot tubs and pool were clean and they had a quiet deck chair area above the pool for adults only. The only thing I would have added was free breakfast. Thank you Best Western!
