“In my opinion, this hotel is especially well-suited for families planning to visit nearby theme parks, featuring an outdoor pool, hot tub, and game room for entertainment; its proximity to upcoming attractions is a definite plus. Though some initial maintenance snags have been reported, I think the comfortable rooms and dedicated shuttle service to Universal parks still make it a worthwhile option. It seems the staff are very kind.”

excellent stay!

spacious roomfree shuttleself-service laundrytidy room

i stayed for several nights and appreciated the early park admission. the room was spacious, and i found the free shuttle service to the parks very convenient. i also liked the self-service laundry, helpful. housekeeping kept the room very tidy and fresh.

the menu was a bit limited. i would have appreciated a wider variety of dining options.

the hotel offers one quick service restaurant in the lobby. there is also a pick-up window by the pool. both serve the same menu. there is no sit-down dining available (which i honestly didn't mind).
