Two great swimming pools, one with a giant slide and the other with a lazy river, as well as small bowling alley and game room offered lots for young teens and kids to do. Within walking distance of Volcano Bay is a plus. Rooms are okay. Food is acceptable and prices reasonable but they need a second, better dining option.

The carpets were dirty, the curtains did not close all the way, there was a gap at the top, and all the lights on the property made it nearly impossible to sleep. It was hard to sleep with all of the exterior lights. The neighbors were very loud. The elevators were dirty, the carpets were dirty. While I understand the 1950 nostalgia I did not need cheap shampoo and soap from a Lowers resort. By far the most disappointing universal hotel I have stayed at and we go annually.

The property overall was an excellent stay, but they failed to mention that construction was being done. Rooms aren’t cleaned everyday so constantly have to beg for towels and such. I have never stayed at a resort like this. I went doing spring break so maybe they weren’t prepared for the crowd. They promised me a refund on parking which I have yet to receive

Originally booked a Volcano Bay room and when we arrived and checked in there was damage to the room. Broken clock, exposed wiring on a light switch, long walk to the main area, and terrible beds. However after talking to the front desk I was able to pay $7 more a day for a family room. Absolutely worth every penny. The front desk attendants were so nice and helpful they really turned the whole arrival around for us. Our other room was great with a separate living room space and tiny kitchen with a slider door to the bedroom. It allowed us to keep cold drinks and snacks in the room and even make popcorn at night. The hotel had wonderful things for the kids like movie in the pool, the arcade, malt shoppe, etc. Pool area was clean and amenities were nice if not a little worn. Shuttles to the park were easy and there were always open seats. Early access to the parks was worth the money to stay on property!
