Quick trip

The hotel is in the process of updating and the finished product will look great. We got the halfway done look but it was still comfortable. The halllway was loud. Quick drink at the bar was nice and the shop and go worked out for us. Muffins and chocolate milk in the morning

Bad location. Pool is literally in an enclosed utility room. Multiple staff would not look up from their phone long enough to acknowledge guests. Not a kid friendly or safe environment.

The outside look nice but the rooms are durty looking and ugly. I was on the second floor and the people that were on the top of us were so noisy early in the morning weren't even able to sleep in. Also having to pay for parking at a hotel that u are paying for is horrible. I payed 2 day parking when i first got there, and they wanted to recharge me for the 2 day parking. Will never stay there again. Messed up my birthday vacay

The condition of this property keeps getting worse and worse every time I stay there. The outlets inside the room frequently don’t work or are shorting out. The showers have very little water pressure and the knobs are falling off. What makes it even more frustrating is the prices of the rooms and the price for parking keeps going up significantly. So we’re paying more money for a worse experience.

I liked the location close to Universal Studios, about 5 min to the parking lot. The neighborhood is a little sketchy I was afraid to walk around. The room we were in had a horrible moldy-vinegary smell that really didn't go away until we turned the heater on to mask it. I walked around in slippers because the floors were sticky in places. I did like that there was cardio equipment for a quick workout. I liked that there was a bar although I didn't order any drinks. The shower was clean and had good water pressure. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner and soap because the ones they offer were not good. I don't think it was worth the $200/night price tag.

Location A1

Hotel is honestly in the perfect place for a quick visit to Universal. A short walk to a free shuttle. And tons of walkable eats nearby. Staff was pretty nice as well. Cons are the freezing cold pool located in the garage, most outlets in the rooms don’t work, no housekeeping (even though they ask when you’d like your room cleaned) and very outdated ac units in the rooms.

Our room wasn’t made up once during our stay rubbish stayed in room for 3 days had to ask for towels. We had two sets of headphones go missing from our room and when I emailed I never received a response at all. Could hear people walking up and down the hallway all night doors opening and closing, noisy from the highway. We felt quite unsafe in this accomodation. Microwave, coffee machine didn’t work at all.

The room had a stink, the furniture is very old and some drawers were broken. The heater/air conditioning unit is so old and loud. We packed our bathing suits as the kids were excited about the pool and when we arrived they told us the pool is cold therefore we couldn’t use it. I called the reception for help and I was on hold for 20 minutes no one would answer. Upon arrival they told us they have an additional $39 parking fee per night that wasn’t disclosed on the reservation. Paying $35 parking at universal studios plus another $39 for the car to sleep in their garage is a lot for anyone.

The bathroom wasn't clean. The shower floor was dirty. The toilet moved when you sit. The outlet didn't hold anything we plugged in. The hot water took awhile to warm up. Parking cost $34 a night plus a surcharge of $21.
