Harmes Marsh Preserve Tours

This property has several good things about it that might appeal to families: -Seven clean pools, one featuring a mini water park -Daily and nightly activities -A nice spa with reasonable prices (for a resort) -Transportation around the property and to and from Universal -Friendly staff who try to get you what you need when asked -Gated entrance; secure feeling overall -A decent market -Kitchenettes within the rooms -Clean rooms and bathrooms The not-so-good: Very noisy! I was assigned a B room on the third level in section 2100. The A room next door must have had ten people in & out at all hours, shouting and never mindful of others. The pools had kids screaming all day and most of the night, and the walls were so thin that every scream could be heard. Lots of dogs. -Rooms were clean but basic and somewhat outdated, like what one might find at a Quality Inn or Red Roof Inn, for example. Not exactly a “resort” feel. -THIS IS A TIMESHARE RESORT! Attempts will be made to get you to attend their presentations, such as gift cards, free meals, and Universal Studios park tickets offers. But when I declined, they DID respect my answer and didn’t hound me. There needs to be another option for breakfast, at least…perhaps a diner. The breakfast onsite is a walk up and order reheated food from a very limited menu. They DO have Starbucks coffee, but they don’t take payment through the Starbucks app. -There is no daily housekeeping; they WILL replenish towels & collect trash however

Needs new sheets They felt like they had small balls from being super used Place need new bed with prosper new linen I stayed at a TownePlace for three nights that had better mattress and linen

I arrived with my family at Westgate and the check in process was easy. Staff helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. Loved the place. Very near the Universal parks. Will stay again.
