Hotel Details

Location

Just a 5-minute drive from Universal Orlando Resort and within walking distance of numerous fast-food restaurants, this Wingate sits on International Drive with a trolley stop outside.
The hotel is 1 km from Universal Orlando Resort and 8 km from EPIC Universe. Walt Disney World is a 16-minute drive away, while SeaWorld and the Orange County Convention Center are each 14 minutes away. The iRide trolley stop directly in front provides access to SeaWorld and International Drive attractions. Multiple fast-food chains (KFC, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Domino's, etc.) are within 0.3-0.5 km on foot. Parking is free and on-site, but there is no airport shuttle; Uber or Lyft is the most practical airport connection.

Accommodation

All rooms include a private bathroom, microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, and a 32-inch flat-screen TV. Beds are comfortable, but the property is older with carpeted floors and no operable windows.
Standard rooms feature a queen or double queen bed, a work desk, ironing facilities, and Neutrogena toiletries. Some suites offer two cable TVs and a separate sitting area. Connecting rooms are available upon request. The air conditioning can be noisy, and the lack of opening windows may lead to musty or humid conditions, especially on lower floors. Lighting is limited to table lamps. Bathrooms vary; some have updated showers while others show wear. No rooms have balconies. Daily housekeeping is provided unless a DND sign is hung.

Dining

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 7:00 to 10:00, featuring waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sausage patties.
The breakfast menu includes self-serve waffles and pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, toast, donuts, cereal, and coffee. Options are consistent throughout the week; fruit and yogurt are typically available on weekends only. The breakfast area can run out of items if demand is high, and restocking is not guaranteed before the end of service. There is no on-site restaurant or bar. Several fast-food restaurants and diners (IHOP, Waffle House) are within a short walk or 5-minute drive for alternative meals.

Wellness and Leisure

The outdoor swimming pool is open from 8am to 10pm year-round, with sun loungers and umbrellas provided.
The pool is free for guests and includes sun loungers and beach umbrellas. The fitness center is also free and open 24 hours, though equipment is basic (treadmill, some weights). There is no spa, hot tub, or other wellness facilities. The pool area may have variable chlorine levels; rinsing after swimming is recommended.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, free parking, a 24-hour front desk, business center, and laundry facilities are among the services offered.
Parking is free and on-site with no reservation needed; an electric vehicle charging station is available. The front desk operates 24 hours and can store luggage before check-in or after checkout. A business center and meeting room (92 m²) are on site for a fee. Daily housekeeping is complimentary; laundry services (self-serve and paid dry cleaning) are available. Safety deposit boxes are free. The property is wheelchair accessible with accessible parking. Pets are not allowed. A $50 security deposit is required at check-in and returned after checkout.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Take the free shuttle to Universal Studios at 8:35am for a single morning drop-off, but plan your own transport back if you stay past the 5:30pm return time.

  • 02

    Request a room on a higher floor away from the laundry room and elevator to minimize noise from hallways and machinery.

  • 03

    Use the free luggage storage after checkout if you have a late flight or want to explore nearby outlets and restaurants.
