What guests think

Across reviews of Cambria Hotel Orlando near Universal Theme Parks, travellers highlight modern, clean rooms, generally friendly service, and a convenient base for Universal Orlando and nearby dining, with many considering it good value for a short stay.

Common drawbacks are very limited parking shared with restaurant patrons, loud music and late-night crowds from the rooftop affecting upper floors, and a strong food aroma in the lobby and elevators. Guests also report the pool closing early, intermittent hot water, non-daily housekeeping, and rooms that favor a modern look over storage space. Expect a stylish, convenient stay with lively nightlife overhead but plan ahead for parking and quiet.

Facilities

Rooftop pool and bar are a highlight with views, but the area is small, closes around 6 pm for dining service, and noise can carry to upper floors. Parking is very limited and often used by restaurant visitors.

The property itself is very nice, clean, and well kept. However, the parking is atrocious. They give you a parking pass but there are not enough spots. The parking lot fills with people going to the rooftop bar and your parking pass doesn’t matter. When we asked a staff member where else we could park he pointed to a parking lot of another business that clearly had a tow sign. Not wanting to be towed and having no other options we had to sit in our car and wait for someone to leave the rooftop bar.

The only thing that needs to be clear is the pool is a hooka bar & lounge. The pool hours are only umtil 6pm. Very few loungers (4) very little room to sit by the pool without being at a table in the resturant.

Not a good option if you are looking for a quiet hotel. The rooftop lounge played loud music until 11:00 PM. It was so loud, you couldn't even listen to the,TV. Very annoying

Our room was on the 6th floor, it was very noisy due to the people coming and going to the restaurant. The pool is located on the 6th floor also, but can't use it after 6pm because of the restaurant. We just wanted to sit and enjoy the views but couldn't.

Never write review but I booked this based on reviews so I’ll give my honest opinion :) My balcony room was very clean. I can’t complain about the stay as a whole. You’re not going to get a “Disney magic” vibe from this hotel but it’s in a great location, has a nice Mexican restaurant across street and a Walgreens very near, which was convenient. The ONLY THING that annoyed me was the fake advertisement of the pool area. Do not book this hotel if you want to chill day at the pool!! They have built a restaurant on the rooftop with an awning, and the tables/chairs for the restaurant takes up the whole area. The restaurant and hookah lounge is cool, and I respect that they are capitalizing on the food industry business; however, the pool as a chill day relaxation area is just not possible. No umbrellas, THREE pool loungers squeezed in between tables, and pool towels that can wrap around a 10 year old. The pool itself we didn’t even bother going in because there was brown dirt or something on the bottom. They claim they clean it daily, but I know what my eyes saw. We spent ten minutes up there and decided to pay for a day pass at an actual pool resort instead. If I am coming back to Orlando, I’ll probably spend the extra money to go to a resort hotel because that’s the experience I want, and chill by the adult pool. Overall I wouldn’t say avoid this hotel because it is nice, I just wouldn’t book it if you’re looking for a place with a nice pool to hang at.

The hallway and the room smelled like spilled alcohol. The shower had hair in it from “private parts”. Found a used floss stick behind the pillow.. I’ve stayed there prior and never had an issue, was disappointed. On check out day a maid knocked on the door at 10 AM, I yelled hello, and she immediately opened the door. She was on the phone so must have not heard me but checkout is 11 AM

It was an extremely disappointing and upsetting experience. Although I booked the stay from June 12 to June 15, I checked out early on the morning of June 13 due to serious cleanliness and safety concerns. I found blood on the bed sheet, and a pubic hair on the conditioner bottle. The room (322) was very damp, and the floor was slippery. I even slipped and fell, and my child nearly fell too. When I checked out, I politely offered to show the photos and videos I had taken as proof. The front desk refused to look and simply said, “You are all set to go.” They also refused to send a staff member to inspect the room while I was present. Later, when Expedia contacted the hotel for a refund, the hotel refused. I called the front desk myself and was shocked by the staff’s attitude. She was dismissive and defensive, saying I kept complaining and that she had checked the room and found “no issues.” But why did they refuse to inspect the room or review my evidence when I was still there? I have photos and videos clearly showing the problems — it is not up to the hotel alone to say whether the room was acceptable. Even more upsetting, when I asked to speak to a manager, the staff said she would pass on the message, then hung up the phone on me before I could finish speaking. I called again immediately, but they never answered. This is unacceptable and unprofessional behavior. I am sharing my experience because I believe customers deserve to be treated with respect and fairness. I

I will be staying here again.

A beautiful property near the Universal Studios theme park. I could see the different rides from my room, all lit up at night. The hotel was spacious and clean. Both hotel restaurants had above a 4 star rating and smelled delicious (I didn't get a chance to try). The pool was lovely, although it closed at 6 each day due to the bar. Beds were extremely comfortable, A/C worked perfectly and the hotel has a text service where you can ask for anything you need by texting them. Gym also has everything you need for a great workout. I had to find a room in a pinch and this was one of the most affordable ones in the area. If you're headed to Disney or Universal, highly recommend this spot.

The hotel is fine but not great. There was an issue at check in because the cc I booked with is virtual. I had to pay with a different card but the first night was already charged to the original card and the whole balance had to be charged together, plus a $100 security deposit. I asked to have the name changed on the second room we had booked, we asked for extra towels (2 bath towels in a room that sleeps 4) those things were never done. Housekeeping is every third day but coffee service has 2 cups and 2 coffee pods. The rooms were very humid, floors were always damp and towels didn’t dry.Parking at the hotel is sparse, but you can walk to Universal or it’s a short drive.

Check in took a long time. Didn’t have parking so we had to park far at a restaurant & had to walk alone at night (woman with 2 daughters. The room was much smaller than expected & didn’t feel clean. Bathroom had rust and grime in creases. We didn’t have enough towels even tho the reservation was for 4 guests. I called down to get some brought up and was told they were out of towels and could only give me pool towels but I would need to go down myself. They accommodate people not staying at hotel for the rooftop bar/pool. They had valet services and hotel guests do not. Would never stay here again.

Great hotel in a good location. Convenient for main roads I4 etc. Free parking which was a great bonus. The only niggle was the volume of noise and revelling (guests and external) from the 6th floor pool bar. I suggest to avoid a room on floor 6 at all costs 😳

Staff doesn't follow up with request. Stayed Sunday through Friday, room wasn't cleaned until Thursday. Was told when I arrived that room would be cleaned on third day, it wasn't. I requested towels and garbage pick up at around 9pm on Wednesday and it wasn't handled until Thursday at around noon. Other than that, everyone was nice. The food at the roof top bar was good. The pool water was very cold and the pool was clean. Stayed on the 6th floor so we didn't smell the food from downstairs, but you definitely smell it on the first two floors. The fitness center was nice with cardio machines and there were towels and cold water available. The location is a twenty minute walk to Universal or $6 Uber ride. There's a Walgreens and KFC within a two minute walk and a very nice Mexican restaurant across the street that's pretty tasty with good drinks. If the hotel can clean and refresh daily, I would stay again. There are a lot of pluses but not picking up garbage and refreshing daily is a major no for me

I stayed at the Cambria Hotel in Orlando for a business conference, and my experience left much to be desired. Upon arriving after a long day of travel, I found that my room key didn’t work and had to go back to the front desk to get it reset. This was an inconvenience I didn’t expect. The real issue, however, was being placed in a room just two doors down from their rooftop restaurant, which plays loud house music until 2 a.m. With the doors open, the noise was unbearable. Despite being six months pregnant and needing rest for an early morning conference session, the front desk refused to move me, citing that the hotel was “sold out.” This lack of foresight and concern for guest well-being is unacceptable. Guests should feel valued and have an environment conducive to rest. I will not recommend this property for business travelers or anyone needing a peaceful stay. I will also be contacting corporate about these issues.

I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HOTEL! From I walked through the doors of Cambria the service was impeccable. The check-in process was super smooth and my room keys were already programmed. There was a sundry to purchase anything I forgot which was awesome, even though there's a Walgreens next door. My room had a lovely queen bed which was nicely made with quality, plush linens.The bathroom was spacious and fully equipped with lush towels a rainfall and handheld shower. It was a plus to have two restaurants within the hotel which we dined at 3 nights. Tamara offered authentic Indian cuisine and the other restaurant on the rooftop offered burgers and other flavors. Overall it was a fantastic stay.

They also hold a fee of $100 per night. Parking was terrible. There are better hotels in Orlando to stay at. I didn’t even wait to check out. I left early in the morning. Never staying there again. Don’t fall for the price online either. Another couple called corporate on them. Especially on that woman named Maria at the front desk. She was mean for no apparent reason.

Extremely poor service. Very rude staff at reception. One person in particular who checked me in seemed like he wanted to be rude for the fun of it. Restaurant and bar was randomly closed Friday. Staff lied that they have not updated the hours. In fact there was just no one to show up for work. At reception they lied the hotel was full and I could even check out 15 mins later! It is off season and there was barely anyone at this hotel! Horrible service. Do not book to stay here!

The hotel is beautifully decorated, clean, and overall I really enjoyed my stay. The ambiance was lovely and the staff was friendly. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars mainly for a couple of things that affected the experience. The lobby consistently smelled like Indian food—while not unpleasant, it's not a scent I personally enjoy in common areas throughout the day. Also, I found the prices in the lobby store to be steep—$8 for a bottle of water is even higher than what you'd find at a theme park. Another letdown was the lack of breakfast. The property was listed as having breakfast included, but there was no breakfast service—only a coffee bar with pastries and sweets that were also quite pricey. Still, the hotel itself is stylish and comfortable, and I would consider staying again if those few details were improved.

The stay at the Cambria was wonderful as far as staff communication & the cleanliness of the hotel & rooms. Everyone was extremely nice & helpful. The parking was a big issue. The lot is extremely small. They have a really nice rooftop restaurant & pool that’s open to the public. Saturday night we had to park all the way down the street farther way from the hotel. After walking in Epic Universal from 10am to 9pm it was brutal. Then the website says breakfast but really there’s no breakfast or room service of any kind. They have 2 restaurants on site. They have a coffee bar that does coffee & muffins but that’s it. We were expecting a real breakfast cafe inside. Then there was no microwave to warm up food. Thank Goodness for the iHop down the street within walking distance. The hotel is close to lots of restaurants as it is near the corner of Universal & International Drive. I was just really disappointed with no breakfast & the parking on a day I’m visiting a park. It was inconvenient. I gave it overall 3 staffs but it’s not a reflection on the staff, but they way the built a hotel with such a small parking lot & they got two restaurants but don’t offer continental breakfast for customers. If you a looking for a place that’s close to Universal Studios & Epic Universal & don’t mind these two issues the price is right on this place.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel, and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment I arrived, the service was attentive and welcoming. The highlight of the stay was without a doubt the top-floor pool and dining/bar area — an absolute gem. The pool offered breathtaking panoramic views of the city, creating the perfect backdrop for both daytime lounging and evening relaxation. It was well-maintained, with plenty of comfortable seating and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooftop bar and dining area were equally impressive. The ambiance was upscale yet relaxed, and the food and drinks exceeded expectations. Whether you’re enjoying a craft cocktail at sunset or starting your day with a rooftop breakfast, the setting truly enhances the experience. My room was clean, stylish, and quiet, with all the modern comforts I needed. Between the thoughtful service, incredible rooftop amenities, and overall attention to detail, this hotel easily became one of my favorites. Highly recommended — I will absolutely be returning!
