The hotel room was nice but what really stood out was the service I received from Lorna and Linda at the front desk. I had issues signing in and they happily helped me get my room while helping other guest. Thank you I’ll be back specifically because of the front desk service

"AVOID! Do not book this hotel!"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed October 08, 2025 NEW
There are plenty of other hotels to choose from. Do not ruin your stay by choosing this one. Zero rating if I could. Customer Service poor, room was so damp all our clothes were wet! The bathroom floor was a hazard as it was damp due to the awful air con system. Which was also so loud it keeps you awake. Breakfast poor quality. No facilities, it's at best a motel, not a hotel. They charge a 'resort fee' but it's most definitely not a resort. Parking extra too. Choose a different hotel, this one needs a complete refurbishment. AVOID! The name is very misleading, no 'Grand' here.

"Cheap and cheerful"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed October 02, 2025 NEW
Cheap and cheerful is the best way I can describe it. We was doing the universal parks this time which is an ideal location, there is a shuttle bus included, but it only runs to/from Disney and universal once a day, comes back at 6 which isn’t great when the parks are open later. So we had to pay for Ubers back each day. The breakfast was awful. Basically cold and left out dry food, and 1 choice of cereal. So we didn’t eat breakfast there, which cost us money as we’d expected to have breakfast included. We got hit with a $200 resort fee when we arrived and a $100 deposit. Which made the hotel alot dearer than expected! The rooms are outdated, shower handle was falling off and the safe didn’t work. They made the beds daily but that’s as far as cleaning went, and they changed the towels. Only used the pool once but it was warm. There’s a fridge but no other facilities for tea/coffee. Air con is great! It’s basically a glorified motel. But we didn’t spend much time there so wasn’t too fussed. I just wouldn’t stay here again.

"Worst Hotel Experience Ever"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed September 17, 2025 NEW
This was the worst experience I have had at a hotel. I changed rooms twice and all three were dirty and damp. The thermostat is set on 65 degrees and, if moved, the front desk claims that is what causes the carpets to be wet, the bathroom floor to be wet with long hairs embedded, and bedding, toilet tissue and towels to be wet. I was given 3 bath mats and towels to place on the floor so I wouldn’t slip. I had to put my underwear and leather sandals in my car to stay dry. Parking at the hotel is at a cost and, in order to get your paper permit, you must go across the lobby and listen to a sales pitch about a hotel club. Unfortunately I was unable to cancel my reservation and move to another hotel. Management has ignored my letter and pictures. The shuttle to Disney runs once per morning at 7:15 ( breakfast is at 7:00) and the return shuttle is at 9pm. Since the Animal Kingdom closes at 6pm I had to pay for parking at Disney. My advice is to avoid this hotel!
