The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Universal Inn

Your Concert-Ready Stay Near Universal Orlando

Modern, affordable, and newly renovated, the Best Western Plus Universal Inn puts you just three minutes by car from the entrance of Universal Orlando Resort—perfect if you're catching a show at nearby venues. This laid-back hotel offers a relaxed, convenient base with comfy rooms, a refreshing outdoor pool, and free perks like breakfast and WiFi.

Each guest room is equipped with a microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker, and cable TV with HBO, giving you everything you need to fuel up and chill out between concerts and sightseeing. Whether you're heading to a festival or a big-name tour stop, this hotel's location and value make it a top pick.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and this hotel delivers. You're only a few minutes from some of Orlando's most popular venues, and the area offers easy access to rideshare services and taxis for late-night returns. Guests love the peaceful atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind after a loud night. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout, you’ve got flexibility to fit your schedule. Plus, the free WiFi and in-room coffee help you recover in comfort.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly place near the action
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making a weekend escape out of a show
  • Fans wanting a quiet place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, it offers a daily continental breakfast—perfect after a late night—and the surrounding area has a variety of walkable dining options. You’ll find late-night eats and fast food nearby, and with a microwave and fridge in your room, leftovers or snacks are easy to manage.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a quiet base than a party spot, you're just a short drive from Orlando nightlife hubs. Whether you’re looking for bars, lounges, or late-night bites, there’s plenty nearby. Plus, being close to Universal means you’re also near themed bars and entertainment at CityWalk.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Many mention how convenient it is to get to Universal and concert venues, and appreciate the added value of free breakfast and parking. The recently updated rooms also get high marks for comfort and cleanliness.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the breakfast selection is basic, and the pool area is on the smaller side. If you're looking for luxury or on-site nightlife, this may not be the spot—but for the price and location, it’s a solid win.

The Bottom Line

A top choice for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet, and affordable stay just minutes from the music scene in Orlando.

Orlando theme parks visit.

Liked: Clean, well sized room. Quiet and good block-out curtains. The location was excellent- walking distance to Universal theme park.
Disliked: The breakfast served was not that good compared to there other hotels we visited on our tour. Maybe a little attention to detail in the room as we had to ask twice for coffee pods.

Better than expected, would stay...

Liked: The staff was friendly and breakfast, for US standards, above average. The room was sufficiently big, the housekeeping staff very efficient. Never had to beg for an extra towel or anything, really. This hotel is very close to Universal Studios and Island of adventure and truly in walking distance. The free parking is a huge bonus. There are quite a lot of restaurants nearby.
Disliked: There is a single elevator and sometimes the wait could be a bit long. Taking the stairs was a good option. Of the 4 days I stayed, only one day did they have the waffle makers in the breakfast area which had an added value, but the other days it was not put out. This I found somewhat strange. But this was, all in all, a minor detail.

It's fine if you aren't...

Liked: Close to Universal. Felt clean. Waffles.
Disliked: Beds were uncomfortable. Staff seemed apathetic. The shuttle was not convenient at all. No shuttle to the new Epic park. Powdered eggs were gross.
