Hotel Details
5618 Vineland Road, Orlando, Florida 32819-7827 United States

Hotel Overview

Across from the theme parks in Orlando, Florida, the recently renovated Best Western Plus Universal Inn puts the rides and shows of the resort area within easy reach.

Refreshed rooms and public spaces and a handy location make a practical family base, with restaurants, shops and the parks are close by. Shuttles and main roads run to the gates, and a pool and free breakfast round out the family stay. Restaurants and shops crowd the resort streets nearby, and the parks light up the sky most summer nights. Theme-park shuttles and main roads keep the gates within easy reach.

Universal's movie-themed parks and the wizarding world sit just across the way, with a vast new park opening nearby, the outlets and dining of International Drive run a short distance off, and the bigger resorts and the convention center lie a short drive south. Beaches on both coasts are about an hour away.
