Family loved this hotel, ideal for Universal Epic

Stayed one night to be close to Universal Epic and to get early entry. Wished we had stayed longer. Kids claimed it’s the best hotel they have ever stayed in (and they have stayed at much more expensive hotels!!). Excellent value for what we paid. Epic is just a few minutes walk.

We stayed for 4 nights and loved everything about the property. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The male bartender was great and knowledgeable about different types of alcohol and made us feel like old friends. The pool and hot tub were great as well.

Not worth the price in my opinion. It is a new property and comfy beds. Didnt like that they clean the room every other day. The only day that they did clean wasnt a detailed cleaning, very superficial not even mopped and took care of stains. Decent pool its walking dostance from epic and has free shuttles to the other parks. I dont think i would stay there again because for the price it wasnt worth it

The Epic Universe Hotel

This is the budget friendly epic universe hotel. Early entry. The hotel feels like you are undersea or on a submarine. The AC was amazing. The food service in the lobby was good. The staff was friendly, and you can walk to the park in 5 to 10 mins depending on when you catch the traffic light for crossing the street.
