The hotel is conveniently located a short distance away from Universal Studio parks. Our room was spacious and clean woth a nice view of the pool. The elevator was fast and quiet. Front desk staff was very welcoming and efficient. The only negatives were the poor TV reception. It just never worked. And the attendant at the little restaurant by the elevators was very rude. Overall we loved the location and the size of the room.

Great location and close to universal studios, Right across from Universal hotel: endless summer dockside, and have access to the shuttle that would take you to universal parks, The hotel is a little older in my opinion but it’s great for the location. Staff is great

Very comfortable beds, great laundry room, helpful check in staff, good snack shop you can buy water, snacks, some food etc. Pool is really big although we didn’t use it. Lost one star due to the shuttle service to Universal not being great due to the times. Weird morning times especially and not frequent at all. We weren’t able to get it due to the times not suiting us. Ubers were between $6-8 to Universal Studios and around $8-10 to Epic.

Good service, Clean rooms with comfortable beds, ACs that work, elevators are quite fast, but there should not be a resort fee because this is a hotel not a resort. It is much better than some of the other places in the area, especially if you are paying a cheap price like I did ~$81 per night. I needed a refund on my last night because I had to check out a day early but couldn’t get one, however that wouldn’t commonly be available at hotels.
