The pool was nice. Outside of that the carpet was filthy, the toilet when I entered the room was dirty with feces, the staff was relatively friendly, but they did not stand out to me. No complimentary breakfast or parking was also frustrating.

Terrible! They woke us up at 6:45am

They were doing renovation works and they woke us up at 6:45 am!! This is my worst experience ever! I talked to the manager and she told me they were going to take care of that and the next day was the same thing. Terrible! I dont understaf why did they give us that room if the hotel was empty!! The only thing I liked is that it was 20 min walk distance from universal.

In this day in age is it really that hard to have a few USB Receptacles? Than you have the shower controls that make it impossible to have a hot shower and I would think that a hotel that is within "walking distance" of major theme park would having give their guests the ability to soothe aching muscles with a nice long hot shower a higher priority!! Finally really only one ice maker on first floor so that you have to walk the entire length of the hotel to get ice!!!

Okay hotel, bad odor

The lobby was nice. The pool looked okay. The game room was closed for remodeling. The room was okay except for the awful water damage odor. It reeked of mildew throughout and especially next to the head of the bed. The carpet had a weird sponge feel to it as well. The front desk said they're remodeling, but that's what they said when I stayed there about 7 years ago. We chose this hotel for the location and price. I'd say it was worth it to be so close to Universal.

This hotel is under renovation. We stayed on the 6th flr and the ice machine was not working and was told to go to the 5th flr which was being renovated. I had to walk all the end of a long hallway filled with dust and was totally unoccupied to get to it which gave me the creeps. Most of the time, only 2 elevators out of 3 was working and one was being used as a service elevator for construction crew complete with cardboard covering the walls. Parking was not free, paid $10 every day for parking which was just right behind the hotel. Breakfast was at TGIF next door with vouchers they provide you. Our room was dimly lit and the bathroom sink was cracked. The water was being turned off from 11am - 4pm. Not sure if it was due to construction or cost savings. Only saving grace was it was 10 mins to Universal.

I stayed here due to the shuttle to Universal which was convenient. Our suite was spacious and clean. The room was dated but well appointed, the bathroom needs upgrading. I had to take cold showers, there was only a few minutes of warm water, no real heat. A huge plus was that our room was tidied up every day of our stay! It was so nice to come back to a clean room. Paying to park was a massive letdown too, three nights wound up costing over $80 to park due to the fees associated with the app you’re required to use to park - a lame cash grab that I don’t appreciate. I won’t return due to the bad showers and paying to park nonsense, but if you go…it will be a clean hotel with nice staff.
