Super friendly staff and in a convenient location!

The staff at the front were absolutely the sweetest! All ladies were so helpful. I needed a band-aid and they provided a few for me. I asked if they had a shuttle to Universal and we had missed it, but the ladies suggested we walk to the neighbor hotel which is Dockside Inn (a Universal Resort) and we hopped on their bus! It runs every 15 minutes. It was perfect. You do not have to be a guest of the hotel to ride the busses to Universal. The room was super clean. The hotel is close to a lot of entertainment/restaurants. We will definitely stay here again soon as we are annual passholders.

Love staying here. Everything is clean and nice. Only complaints is check in is slow and connecting rooms have are terrible, you can hear everything. Ask for a non connecting room which is lower floors only. You can walk to Endless summer in less than 2 minutes to take the Universal bus for free to universal studios.
