Overall good stay. Under construction so no game room and some banging. Our AC was broken and they said they’d fix it 3x but never did. Main room never went below 71 which wasn’t bad but the bedroom wouldn’t go below 73, which was hot. 1 room has a light on outside of building that shines right in the room so it doesn’t get dark even with the shade drawn. Few staff members were arguing in the lobby very loudly. Wasn’t bad stay since we weren’t in room much just not excellent.

Just okay

Hotel was under construction. We had to pay a $60 destination fee (what the heck is that) fencing and semi trucks unloading boxes trapped out car in the parking lot. Beds Wed suppose to be a queen and they were very small. Bathroom felt dirty. Faucet was upside down and even fell off twice while we were there. When maid serviced our room trash was not taken. We have stayed at this hotel before and it was nice but it has gone downhill.

Lovely suite

We had a suite which was lovely & roomy. The lounge area & bedroom area was very clean & nice to relax in. We had two large flat screen TVs to choose from, a safe, a fridge & a microwave. The only downside to our suite was the bathroom. It is in need of an upgrade and the shower didn’t run hot and kept changing temperature throughout my showers.

we were placed in a room where the toilet and bath tub is clogged up. I ask for a replacement room which they put us on other room but we have a lot of things that we already unload on the first room and we had to load it again to bring them to the next room. The hotel needs a total renovation. It is not anymore competitive to other hotels. Location is very nice because it is just near Universal Studio. Parking is not very spacious and needs to pay daily at 27 dollars something and no complimentary breakfast offered.

Don’t expect to get what you pay for…

We booked a king room for our anniversary they “upgraded” us to a double queen suite, we said no tank you we prefer a king but they had none available. They did not communicate the change until we checked in and I said “no we were down for a king”. The hotel stink of marijuana on every floor. The hotel room barely any of the electrical slots worked, the desk in the room had bent legs so bad it’s a wonder it was even standing. We checked in at 330 (check in is at 4)and they said since we were a little early they would text/call us to let us know when the room was ready, after an hour of sitting in the parking lot with no communication we decided to cut our losses and go to the park. All in all won’t stay here again,

Staff was rude when trying to get to universal studios. The shower flooded every time we used it. We never got the right amount of towels if we even got towels. Breakfast was not included and was $18/person for mediocre food. Our first room the door would not even close so we had to request a different room.

Room floors were dirty and bathroom tub looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. Saw bugs crawling on the floor. Checked out and reported the findings to front desk. The person just said oh sorry to hear that. I asked for receipt, she said she would send via email, I never received it and was charged the full price even though I only stayed until morning of 24th. Terrible hotel, wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Construction of lobby is going on; that can wait, they need to shut down and redo all those rooms!

Interesting stay.

Not perfect stay but doesn’t look good when construction is going on; no daily housekeeping was done, as informed at check in; also having to ask for towels n sheets for a suite that should be readily available already; Last, room furniture is dated and worn out, my kids felt uncomfortable sleeping on a pull out Sleeper. Also when the fire Alarm goes off, there was no process to ensure ALL guest are evacuated and safe, especially when it’s late at night, and no communication with guest whom keep asking questions and front desk has no answers.
