Frommer's Review
Location alone (right across the street from Universal Orlando) earns this hotel a star. Built for the convention trade, this former Radisson has reasonably nice rooms. Rooms on the west side of floors 6 through 18 offer views of the Universal parks and CityWalk. DoubleTree's famous chocolate chip cookies are complimentary upon check-in (though you may want to buy some to take home because they're that good).
Facilities: 3 restaurants; grill; lounge; outdoor heated pool; kids' pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; arcade; free transportation to Universal and SeaWorld parks; transportation to Disney/airport for a fee; car-rental desk; limited room service; guest laundry; valet

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
