I ran through a search for you, too, since I had stayed at that hotel several years ago and didn't like it because they catered towards busloads full of affinity groups (like school groups, etc.). I found a recent comment on the hotel in another thread dated October 8, 10, 2:05 pm post #62 by The _Banking_Scot. Here it is (in italics):
Hi,
I stayed at 2 DTs in the past fortnight in MCO;
(1) By Universal Studios- very nice, rooms are in two towers with a large pool. Rooms have been renovated since the last time I was there ( 5-6 years ago) and looked like the refurb was very recent
The refurb info is good to know, but I, too, would like to see more recent info and whether others have had busload group experiences. That DTree is convenient to Universal but I would recommend staying at the Hilton Garden Inn that happens to be very nearby. HGarden Inns seem to never attract large groups, perhaps because HGarden Inns seem to be an almost invisible hotel choice in the Hilton family. Most people don't seem to know quite what to make of them. IMHO, the HGarden Inns are mostly occupied by business or individual families. YMMV.
