Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable enough for a motel mattress. There was a small fridge in the room that kept drinks cold. The employees that I had contact with were friendly. There was a cafe in the lobby where I was able to buy breakfast each day. There was a shuttle bus to and from Universal and Universal Epic every day, which was super convenient. I did not like that there was not a table or chair in the room. The only place to sit was on the bed.

The room did not have a door even though it said 1 bedroom. The pull out sofa was horrible. There were people wandering around the property that looked sketchy. The doors open to the outside. It’s a motel and didn’t feel safe. I just wanted to leave asap.

If you want to the clean your own room, take out your own trash, then yes make reservation. Breakfast is15% off your price, so no free breakfast. The rooms are too dark. The good thing about this hotel is that it is in walking distant of Universal Theme Park.

The only downside that I experienced here is the terrible customer service experienced that I received from the guy in the registration desk early morning. I went to ask a question about check-out procedure and he told me to wait for the next person in-charge to ask my question. What the heck! He can answer the question himself but instead he told me to wait for the next person in-charge that morning. I understand that he might be tired working all night and don’t want to answer my question, however, his response is terrible.

The staff was friendly. The linens were clean, the pool was clean, there is a decent gym and the parking is free. The building needs to be refurbished. The A/C units leak water that leaves puddles in the outside hallways. The carpeting on the inside of the room is stained and needs to be changed. I can see they are trying. It is a good place if you're not spending too much time in the room. .
