Rooms all have been recently renovated and include tasteful floral-patterned bedspreads. Otherwise, expect clean and basic, with a few modern amenities, such as dataports for those who pack laptops along with toothbrushes. The bed's in its own room, too, so you don't have to snooze in the same space with the TV and the kitchenette. If your neighbors look like retirees, there's a good reason. Folks who stay more than a month have to be at least 55.
All ages are welcome for shorter stays.
Expect a 30-minute drive to Universal or SeaWorld, depending on traffic. The bright, modern lobby and tiny toiletries in the rooms give the feel of a higher-priced place. The hotel just opened in late 1997, so everything's still nice and new. The area's still developing, too, which means many of the restaurants and stores are new and traffic is less frantic. The suites here, though not huge or luxurious, give you a bit more space than you'd find in a standard Travelodge.
