I was able to get this hotel for $100 a night. Was not the most fancy or elegant but it did the job. Walking distance to the venue.

Liked: Very close to Hard Rock and City Walk.

Liked: Clean; affordable; room service and housekeeping were great.
Disliked: No balconies for a non smoking facility.

Doubletree Hotel is within walking distance of Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Hard Rock Live, and CityWalk. The Florida Mall is also a 15-minute drive from the hotel. It's a great place to stay if you're vacationing on a budget.

Liked: Centrally located near many different things.
Disliked: Parking fee I was not informed of.

Disappointing

Liked: The Starbucks
Disliked: No clean at all. The room was not clean and the services was not ok

Good

Liked: Room was large and location to universal was fantastic! Bed was comfy as well. During this trip, we stayed at 2 hotels and this was the preferred hotel.
Disliked: Bathroom a tad out of date but still a nice hotel room!

Liked: The rooms were clean. The hotel common areas were clean. The luggage hold was a great asset. There is a Universal Sudios desk where you can buy discount tickets & get information about the parks. We loved the salesperson, Denise. She was great with advice.
Disliked: All of the elevators were not working. It was a wait sometimes. One day, I had to walk down the stairs from the 7th floor in order not to miss the bus to Universal Studios. The ice machine on the floor I was on didn't work. Nor did the one on the floor above me.

Good

Liked: Loved the amenities and location.
Disliked: Front desk staff wasn’t friendly, no housekeeping and the pool bar was closed the whole weekend for some reason.

Great stay, definitely ask about...

Liked: I liked how convenient everything was. Rooms were nice, water was hot. And the fridge was cold!
Disliked: I didn't like how I paid $30.00 to park... and I spoke with the people at the front desk and they said I would receive a refund for that.
