The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Near Universal Orlando

Spacious Suites and Laid-Back Comfort Near the Music

Modern, casual, and perfectly located, Residence Inn by Marriott Near Universal Orlando offers a relaxed, apartment-style stay just over a mile from major music and entertainment venues. With thoughtful amenities like a full kitchen in select rooms and free parking, this all-suite hotel is a great home base for concert nights and theme park days.
Guests enjoy access to an outdoor pool, fitness center, and free bike rentals—plus plenty of spots to unwind after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 1.4 miles from top venues like Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you’ll be close to the action without the noise. The 24-hour front desk offers flexibility for late arrivals, and the peaceful shared lounge and terrace are perfect for decompressing post-gig. Free private parking and easy rideshare access make getting to and from concerts hassle-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want space to hang out and pre-game in-suite
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples planning a weekend getaway with music and magic
  • Fans who want a quieter, more relaxed post-show recovery spot
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value with extras like breakfast and a kitchen

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up hearty meals, and the daily breakfast buffet—including continental and Full English/Irish options—hits the spot even after a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the in-suite kitchens (in select rooms) and outdoor grill area let you keep the party going or recover with a midnight snack. You'll also find several walkable eateries nearby for quick bites.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s just minutes from Orlando’s buzzing nightlife, with bars, lounges, and clubs surrounding the Universal area. Prefer a quiet nightcap? The hotel’s terrace and lounge offer a low-key vibe to wind down with friends or meet fellow concert-goers.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms—especially the suites with full kitchens. Many highlight the friendly staff, free breakfast, and close proximity to Universal. Reviews frequently mention the hotel as being a great value for the location, with easy access to both theme parks and concert venues.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury resort, so don’t expect high-end finishes or fancy on-site nightlife. Some guests note that the breakfast area can get crowded during peak times, and the lack of daily room cleaning may not suit everyone.

The Bottom Line

Residence Inn by Marriott Near Universal Orlando is a smart, comfortable choice for concert-goers who want space, convenience, and chill vibes just minutes from the music.
