I was very surprised at the qua.ity of this "budget" level hotel for Universal Resort. New and fresh and casual smartly designed, I found it to look and work well.

Hotel is gorgeous. Shuttle to and from park is super convenient and parking very cheap. Three teens and two adults slept comfortably and plenty of room to share a meal at the table in the two room suite. Highly recommend.

There was some negative experiences, but overall this resort deserves a 5. The price and rooms are fantastic for a themepark resort. You will definitely not receive anything like this at a Disney resort. I love Disney, but Universal had the magic on this trip overall.

There was some negative experiences, but overall this resort deserves a 5. The price and rooms are fantastic for a themepark resort. You will definitely not receive anything like this at a Disney resort. I love Disney, but Universal had the magic on this trip overall. We booked a 2 room suite because my son is 16 and likes to have his own room. The room is spacious and beach themed. It's very bright and cheery with a nice view of I-Drive and the Universal parks. The staff was excellent and did a great job of managing the temperature/Covid checks keeping it from feeling clinical. It has just become part of the experience and not overly frustrating. The amenities in the resort were really nice. Burgers, Sandwiches, and Salads, from the restaurant were overall what you'd expect, but not bad at all. Great chips and fries. The only major frustration was a combination of cleanliness and expectations. My wife read that they don't clean the room daily. This is true, in fact, they don't clean the room at all unless you ask. And they only perform a basic cleaning and refresh of the amenities. This is fine, but even scheduling it was an issue. So, we came back from the park after our first night at the hotel. This was about 4pm. The room hadn't been touched. Prior to this I had not been aware of the limited cleaning schedule. I contacted guest services via text and asked them about it. They said I needed to schedule the cleaning. So, I did just that and asked for 10am the next morning. I knew I'd be out then, and since we wouldn't be in until 4 or 5pm or later it gave them some flexibility. We got back from our 2nd day at Universal (Islands of Adventure this time) at 5pm and they still hadn't cleaned the room. I contacted them again and they said they were still working to clean the room and don't schedule specific times. This frustrated me because they seemed to schedule 10am with me the day before and didn't tell me the time would not be honored, or even close. This is where failing to meet expectations comes in. The last full day in the hotel they finally cleaned the room, but failed to clean the 2nd bedroom in the suite, with no reasoning. So, basically each night but that one I had to take out the trash myself and rebag the trashcans. Relaying all of that, I don't want you to think that would in any way make me skip this resort in the future. I still think it's worth 5 stars as the guest services staff was really responsive and did everything in their power. Read less

Rooms are poorly insulated. Laminate floors I the rooms magnifies the sound from the room above. Can hear full conversations through bathroom walls. Towels are like sand paper.

Rooms are poorly insulated. Laminate floors I the rooms magnifies the sound from the room above. Can hear full conversations through bathroom walls. Towels are like sand paper. Staff was not helpful when asking for a quieter room. I even asked to downsize from a suite to get a quieter room and a good night sleep but the front desk was not willing to help me. They said they were sold out but yet the place and parking garage was not crowded at all. Gee, where would we have moved if there was a plumbing issue with our room? Seriously you don’t keep a spare room open? I felt like I was being lied to. We are season pass holders and enjoy universal. Next tile it’s the Marriott for us! Read less

The endless summer resort lacks spacious accommodations. The theme is nice, but the 2 bedroom suite lacks any luxury. The frig had no freezer, the bath was tiny, and the beds come with 2 small pillows
