Stay was great
Pros:

Stay was great. I didn’t like the pillows they very soft so bring a pillow. The area is very good for eating and shopping. The room was updated on floor 4 since we last stayed here and it was a very big room. Staff was very friendly and welcoming when we came. Thanks for everything!

Family holiday, disappointed!
Pros:

This hotel did not live up to my expectations. I was very disappointed with the quality of the room, the breakfast and the pool…the only truthful part of the description was the proximity to Universal Studios!

Consistently a safe, clean, and comfortable stay near the Universal parks
Pros:

The rooms are spacious and.clean. The beds are comfortable for a good night’s sleep. Everything is on par for this level of hotel. The people here are so friendly and the location is ideal for a stay near the Universal parks. This is our second year staying here, and we will be back next year.

Great stay for a getaway!
Pros:

Wonderful stay! Very friendly staff that was more than accommodating with all the influx of people for the music festival. Hotel was clean and very comfortable to stay in. The area was local to lots of eats and was safe enough to walk about at night. Overall would stay again anytime

Close to Universal- Clean, quiet.
Pros:

I traveled with my service dog and my friend for a trip to universal. This hotel is very close to universal and I enjoyed a quick to and from with uber. The rooms are clean and the hotel is very quiet with great staff. The location was the BEST. 10/10. The only reason I gave 4 stars was for two reasons- one, the lack of water access. The drinking fountains are weak and do not fill any bottles well, and I found it odd that coffee was served but no water, and I believe this would be a better addition as water is a necessity for going to universal. Overall, my stay was wonderful and I will come back.
I do have to mention that while wonderful, some staff do not know the entire ADA law about service animals. I was requested my service dog be vested or have “An ID” as this is not the correct law and service animals may not be required to be vested or shown an “ID” (IDs do not exist in the United States). The woman who requested this was very kind and polite but this does need to be corrected by management.
