Hotel Reviews Maingate To Universal (Days Inn)

HM
Mature couple
Canada, May 2008

Their site advertises a "Denny's" on location, however, that has long been gone. There are very friendly people such as Mike at the Tiki Bar and Jonathan the security guard. I really enjoyed my stay as it is within walking distance to nearly everything and they do have the best outdoor pool in that location.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The room and the surroundings were filthy, our children wouldn't want to swim in the pool. People who lived in the hotel were mostly youngsters or schoolclasses. The only place near the hotel where we could eat was Dennys, that served only american style food (lots of fat). We were also charged too much at first but after discussions with the personell they corrected it. You should take in to some other Days Inn on the International Drive instead, because that street is full of shops and restaurants.

I was utterly delighted with the Days Inn, Caravan Court, Orlando. It was right on the trolley line, and it was door to door to the convention center. The pool was great. The connected Dennys staff were great. THe quiet latout of the area was perfect. I'd stay there again in preference to the Hilton, or Doubletree, if offered it, for the same price. Excellent all round.

1. Upn ariaval the gave me the key to open the door. The key did not work. I had to stay outside my room for 30 min's till someone came to help me 2. Upon arriaval they took $30 deposit 3. When I left at 3:30AM the receptionist told me the following: "She was doing internal auditing and my $30 deposit was going to be mailed to me" - As of right night - 10 day's later, I have not received the money! I will never recomend this "project motel" to anyone! thanks
