Family Vacation
Pros:

The hotel is very beautiful, & very clean! All of the employees seem to be very nice! Our bellman, Carlos, accommodated us very well from the time we arrived. He helped us get our luggage out of our Lyft. He made sure that everything was sorted accordingly then he brought everything up to our rooms. Carlos even decided to fill our ice bin up for us! He was very attentive and his service was above and beyond.

Estadia OK, porém longe da cidade.
Pros:

Os funcionários são gentis e sempre prontos a ajudar nas suas solicitações. Equipe do café da manhã é bastante simpática.
Hotel localiza-se na proximidade dos parques da Universal e do outlet.

Cons:

Localiza-se longe da cidade para participar de congresso no centro de convenções. Alem disso, a maioria dos deslocamentos pela cidade dispende tempo e uber ($$).
Cortinas da janela do quarto não fornecem blackout, assim como também entra bastante luminosidade pelas frestas da porta e ainda as luzes de emergência ajudam a manter claridade à noite, atrapalhando o sono.
Janelas do quarto não abrem para permitir ventilação natural. Fica-se o tempo todo com o ar do quarto dependendo do aparelho de ar-condicionado. Com carpete no quarto, isso não ajuda muito as pessoas alérgicas.

Good for the weekend
Pros:

I liked that it is walking distance to universal! I thinks it’s amazing! I also liked that they have a shuttle to epic universe! They have a really good schedule for it too!

Cons:

No one ever came in to our room for service . We ran out of towels and had to ask for them twice before we actually got the towels. I think that the breakfast is too expensive for what it is. The best part of my stay was the waiter we had at breakfast! I don’t remember his name but he’s Asian and he is the nicest man on this planet! We’ve had him twice and every time he is wonderful!!
