Located a short drive from restaurants and Universal Studios, Quality Inn & Suites Universal Studios is a convenient choice for families on a budget. The 106 guest rooms are simple and efficient, with flat-screen TVs, safes, and coffeemakers, though decor is somewhat dated and guests have spotted bugs. There’s a nicely landscaped outdoor pool area with lounge chairs and shaded seating at tables. The hotel
has a small fitness center, and offers a free breakfast including waffles. The hotel is just off the interstate, so some rooms can be noisy. For a similar price range, guests may also want to check out Best Western Plus Universal, which is within walking distance to Universal Studios and restaurants.
Scene
Chain hotel with pretty outdoor pool area
Set far back from the interstate on a quiet street,
Quality Inn & Suites is generally peaceful. Guests tend to be in town to visit theme parks, and include families and couples. The four-level, beige-stucco building has a
water fountain at the entrance, and a nicely landscaped island extending through the parking lot. Inside, the lobby is spacious and bright, with a pale green couch and patterned armchairs. The plain breakfast room -- with beige tile floors and simple, black and white tables and chairs -- can get busy in the mornings; a pleasant patio with tables and chairs shaded by black-and-white-striped umbrellas is
located just outside. Playful, yellow pineapple statues adorn fence columns surrounding the pool, and a small yard with palm
trees provides a pretty piece of scenery. Vinyl beige lounge chairs are available for
relaxing poolside.
Location
Near fast food restaurants and other hotels, and a quick drive to Universal Studios
The Quality Inn & Suites is conveniently located on a quiet side street near several fast food restaurants -- despite the short distance, guests may want to drive, as they'll have to walk along the interstate. An I-RIDE Trolley stop is right outside the
hotel providing easy access to International Drive. Universal Studios is just under a 10-minute drive. Disney World and Sea World are within a 25-minute drive, and
the hotel provides a free shuttle to those attractions. The hotel is also
within a 15- to 20-minute drive to the Orange County Convention Center.
Rooms
Spacious rooms with dated decor and coffeemakers
Rooms are spacious with yellow accent walls and pale
green bedding. Some of the decor is a bit dated, including the generic wall art, heavy
curtains, and brown-patterned carpeting. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and safes; rooms with microwaves and mini-fridges are available. Suites are available with an additional sink and a couch. Bathrooms are stocked with Quality Inn brand bath products, and have
wood laminate floors, beige granite sinks, and shower/tub combos. Guests recommend opting
for a room in the front of the building, as the back faces a major roadway and can get noisy. Bugs can be an issue in some rooms.
Features
Poolside lounging, small fitness center, and free breakfast
The hotel's most notable feature is its outdoor
pool with lounge chairs and a small, pretty lawn. There's also a small fitness
center with a few machines including a treadmill. The free breakfast includes
waffles, and additional seating is available on the patio near the pool. The business
center has one computer and a printer. There are also vending machines with snacks and sodas, as well
as an ATM. Free shuttle service is available to nearby theme parks. Wi-Fi is free.
