The staff was very warm, welcoming and helpful. The room was exquisitely clean and very impressive with the 2 queen beds and a sofabed. The morning breakfast was just what was needed ith several options to choose from from a hot to a cold breakfast. Parking was very easy and always available.
if the need arises, I will definitely book here, again.
Room was clean and well appointed. Breakfast was fine. The location is great and the price was excellent. The pool did not look clean enough to swim in and the walls, windows and doors are thin. I had a difficult time sleeping due to all of the sounds that came through the walls and outside.
My kids and I LOVED our stay here! The staff, the room and just everything was so great and affordable! Will definitely be coming back and making this location one of our family go-to hotel spots for each time we visit the area!
Rooms clean, housekeeping amazing, breakfast attendant handled 2 large schools and regular staff like a champ. Oh, Vheck in and check out ladies very professional and kind. Ty Best Weetern UCF.

Room was clean and comfortable. However the noise from the street was loud and disrupted sleep. Plus I was promised a floor fan that was never available
I picked this hotel because of location. And because of the Artemis II moon launch nearby, traffic and people were everywhere.
On check-in, the service was efficient and beyond helpful to provide me with use of a travel item I had not packed. A+++ rating!
As a frequent traveler, I rate this hotel as the best breakfast facility I have ever used. The space was adequate for the large turnout. The space was superior in layout for ease of use, with meticulous presentation of the many offerings, and each day all food was fresh and well prepared. To top it all, a special touch to the space was added by introduction of elegant flowers.
If all that wasn’t enough, the hostess was most effective in keeping the room clean and adequately supplied for all with her most pleasant demeanor.
This hotel is the service model for what travelers want!
