This is a much more economical way to stay close to universal, you can walk to dockside which is literally 50 yards from the hotel and jump on the free bus to Universal Studios, which is why I stayed at this hotel for $70 a night instead of $300 a night at dockside

Perfectly Fine

It was fine. Nothing special, nothing terrible. We booked because it was close to Universal and we needed somewhere to sleep after Halloween Horror Nights. We were able to check in after midnight with no problems.

this is an older hotel, i found staff nice but they charged extra $35 resort fee once i arrived on top of the fees charged when booked. they only provide service to your room after 4 days (not acceptable when traveling with a family) i had to ask many times for sheets. the discounted tkts in the lobby is a time share and not discounted tkts, expect to be harassed every time you come in or out. didn't want to use shower because there was hair and black mold in tub. hotel is in great location maybe a mile to universal or "I" drive and was one of the best prices in that area.
