"This hotel is very good, the rooms are large and clean, the scenery is picturesque, the Italian food in the hotel is very authentic, and the boat ride to Universal Studios is full of scenery. The only downside is that the bottled water provided in the room is charged, but there is no notice, and it is directly deducted from the hotel deposit. After negotiating with the hotel, the hotel refunded this part of the water fee. This is the only hotel in Orlando that does not provide free bottled water."
