Remember that there are 2 Days inn in Universal. If you have a car, it is really good to stay in here, but if you dont have a car, it is really hard to get there and get to Disney(Universal studio is super close, though). Even though the fare is cheap, the facilities are great.

The name of the Hotel is actually Days Inn. Very close to the Universal parks. I didn't use the shuttles because arrived "late" (they leave at 10:00a.m.)

First off - this is not a hostel, it's a days inn. This was fine though, great location 15 mins walk from Universal front gate and near a lot of food joints. Just what we needed.

an exceptionally good value for money place to visit. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the shower temperature wasn't freezing. A few little things here and there could improve it a tiny bit (like having a microwave in all rooms and getting more cable channels) but other than that it was a very good place to stay. Close to universal studious, and with a free shuttle bus to take you to the disney theme parks, it is definately worth staying.

This place doesn't offers Airport Transfers. The Free Internet Access was just into the restaurant, and was not working well. Just worked at the first night that I was there. We needed to sit down, on the flor, in front of the restaurant to use internet. Doesn't have a microwave. And the pictures are totaly diferent from the real place.

Dont waste your time on the breakfast. Doesnt worth. Walk around 5 min to find a starbucks or something. The rooms were clear and the location is perfect. The swimming pool is ok, but the laundry was out of service

Excellent Hostel, great service, location and price... Almost at the door of Universal Studios with a real good rate. With public transportation available (Linx and Trolley), near of Outlet Mall, taxi to airport just $40 USD and takes 25 minutos. My staying over there excellent....

Please acknowledge that you are a Days Inn on the reservations page so it is less confusing for us. Also, the street address on the reservation is not the street address of the Days Inn.

First of all, this place is cheap so keep your expectations realistic. Really, how nice are you going to get when you're paying so little? However, even having said that, there are many issues that I have with the hotel/motel which I would not expect to have encountered. Upon arriving, I was given a room that the key cards did not work for. When I returned to reception to complain however, the staff member was very helpful and immediately moved me to another room, even making sure we got one on
