Courtyard by Marriott Across Universal Orlando  

In Orlando’s attractions corridor, steps from a major theme-park complex and an entertainment-and-dining hub. About a 15-minute drive from the area’s headline resort area and minutes from outlet malls and a busy dining strip, this family-friendly, pet-friendly hotel puts you close to the action.

Rooms are simple and modern with air conditioning, TV, coffee maker, hair dryer and refrigerator. The property mixes family-focused practicality with playful touches — including an on-site fenced dog park called Bark Ave for furry travelers.

24-hour front desk, fitness center, video game console area, car rental desk and an on-site restaurant. Family- and pet-friendly perks include the fenced-in Bark Ave dog park — great for quick morning runs before hitting nearby attractions.

There’s a restaurant on-site for convenient meals, plus more than 100 dining and entertainment options just outside in the adjacent entertainment district. Expect a range of local and international flavors within easy reach.
