I have stayed here 3 times while visiting Universal. The location and price are great. The staff are fantastic! The only problem is the hot water is awful and takes a long time to warm up. It was just an annoyance on previous visits, but this last stay I had to run the bath water for 15 minutes before it started to get hot! I will probably look for a different hotel next time.

Property has great promise, location is in a great place. There was work being done on the hotel outside so machines were taking up space the room I had was on the first floor next to the exit door which closed very loudly. There is a giant gap under our door That allowed noise and light in. The bed looked halfway broken at the bottom, the hotel, looked old, but improved in some ways.
