I really enjoyed the pool, its not real big but it has a deep end and there's 2 jacuzzi. The beds where nice and comfy not dead beds, I did take a shower but the water only got look warm. Wasn't a fan of how much a bag of chips where, but I know it comes with the territory. Anyways its definitely worth it because its also 9 min from universal.

Overall, I had a good stay at Best Western Orlando Gateway. The location is great and very convenient. The hotel could use a little TLC, but the customer service made a positive difference. There was a party at the pool area that made my original room very noisy, but the front desk was very understanding and immediately changed my room with no hesitation. The hallway on the 5th floor had a strong smoke smell, although thankfully the room itself did not smell at all. Interestingly, the hallway where my original room was located had no odor issues. Overall, a solid stay with responsive staff and a great location.

Check-in was easy, staff was friendly. Didn't like that I was only about 30 mins early, after a 5 hr drive (330 instead of 4) and there was a room available, but would have to pay $20 extra. But rules are rules! Still an enjoyable stay, and if in the area I would definitely stay again. The staff was very helpful and cordial.
