It cannot get any Better than this Place. The room was spotless. The view was intense. The detail to the experience is twice over Disney. The Staff "Aida - went beyond what I have ever had in any hospitality environment" A+ - Lizzy & Gabby at 2am fulfilled my needs and beyond expectations. Payton took care of my family with security that was very appreciated. These 4 I would Hire/Recruit from universal in a heartbeat.

The hotel was a dump. Peeling paint on the walls, peeling upholstery on the beds, tiny room, not particularly clean. They clean the rooms every other day (wipe down), but you need to request this. Same with fresh towels, coffee, etc. they can be provided but only upon request. Staff is polite, but needed to check in several times for requests to be accommodated. The hallways are filled with piles of laundry in the evening until mid-morning from guests putting out the old towels since housekeeping does not come. The perk of early park opening was nice, but we will go to another universal location next time. Left a lot to be desired. Highly dissatisfied.
