Housekeeping does a terrible job if you stay here more than one night.
Pros:

I stayed here 3 nights. The room is nice. Great breakfast it was the same items every morning. Housekeeping they come in your room make up bed take trash out did not replenish cups,towels or clean surfaces or floor. It was like staying at a motel 6 hotel. Then in my room 404 there is a door the people complained about hearing my television on. Then dont have a door in-between rooms. One day I was hanging out by the pool at 3.30 pm my room was still not made up.They need new Housekeeping management I took a towel wiped the sink floor area disgusting dirty from the floor.The 3 days I was there Housekeeping staff did not clean the toilet tile floor they really dont care. A lot of the hotels want to charge a lot of money and give you lousy servicr.

Unclean, dirty and really bad staff
Pros:

The rooms were dirty; the maid didn’t even make an effort to clean them, floors weren’t even broomed. When I complained they made an annotation in a list that requested “full service”; seems it is common to manage unclean rooms. Even with the note the rooms still were dirty…

Vacation planner offers helpful and friendly service!
Pros:

Kassi gave us very helpful information so that we were able to thoroughly enjoy our Universal Studio experience. She was friendly and made sure we were able to catch the shuttle to the park and back to the hotel. Many thanks to Kassi!
