Not sure what info you are looking for, but it is a good location for Universal, not so good for Disney and it is walkable to Pointe Orlando for very good dining options.

Spent a week there last August. Had cancelled an Oct. cruise and needed to use our flight credits. Great location, set back off I-Drive adjacent to another hotel. Dining and shopping in walking distance. Denneys and Bahama Breeze in front of hotel on I-Drive. Liquor store. The Pointe down the street and other direction is The Wheel at Icon Park, giant ferries wheel (too expensive).

We didn't want to deal with a rental car. Bought pass for the I-Drive trolley. Great for everything, goes to mall, lots of dining, Sea World, etc., etc. Handy map shows restaraunts w/stop number.

We found a city bus that goes to MCO and checked schedule. Caught bus on I-Drive by hotel to MCO, saved paying taxi fare.

Hotel was great, we had a one bedroom suite with kitchenette, nice fridge. Swimming pool was in a courtyard with the hotel looming over. Gas grill there if anyone wanted to use it. 

Sorry about the rambling wreck of a review. Nice hotel, great location, and the price was right. Worked great for us.

Forgot to mention, the free breakfast was pretty good, too. Waffle machine and the usual spread.

I'm not a fan of staying anywhere on I-Drive.  Too congested.
