Very disappointing stay — misleading amenities and broken promises I had a frustrating and disappointing experience at the Stella Nova Hotel. The room was missing several amenities that were clearly advertised on their website. Despite multiple requests and being assured repeatedly that the issues were being addressed, nothing was ever delivered or resolved. As a gesture of apology, the staff promised to waive our parking fees—yet those charges still appeared on the final bill. To make matters worse, the hotel charges $30 per day for parking, even for guests. Sadly, the experience did not live up to expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless major improvements are made.

5/5 Amazing Stay at Stella Nova Resort! Our stay at Stella Nova Resort in Universal Orlando was absolutely fantastic! The hotel was super clean, modern, and beautiful maintained. From the moment we arrived, the Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcomed!! One of the best parts was the location: just across the street from Epic Universe, which made getting to the park a breeze, even though they have shuttle buses to all Universal Park including Epic. Highly recommend this resort.
