Won’t be staying there again
Pros:

It’s great that it’s close to the universal theme park although the shuttle service was really poor took over an hour when we simply walked it within 12 minutes.

Cons:

The baggage service was awful. We felt like an inconvenience to them and they even damaged our luggage with no reimbursement.

Pros:

Location is very handy to visit Universal Studios. There is a complimentary shuttle service to get to the studios every 15 minutes. The studios are just 10/20 minutes walking distance anyway (... on the way in the walk is really steep and take longer).
The hotel is ok nothing really to impress or disappoint.

Cons:

We had a bed sofa for my 11 years old son which we had to setup ourself. There is a video tutorial provided via qr code to put it toghether but it felt ackwards to do it ourself. Also the quality of the blankets/sheets for the sofa bed is really poor.

L'hotel aurait pu faire parti des vacances, au final c'était juste un hébergement.
Cons:

Personnel de l'accueil désagréable au check in
Pas de considération de mon statut JW Mariott
Une chambre pour PMR a été donnée (robinet très bas notamment, assez désagréable)
Beaucoup de bruit dans le couloir / au dessus de nous

Cons:

There were hair and chocolate rap on the floor of our room. In the bathroom there was no space to put toiletries. Hotel charged $65.00, plus $6.50 tax, for valet parking. We could hear people walking in the above room. Bottom line, we did not get our money worth.
