Didn't love the food or drink options....but it was better than the more expensive Disney hotel in that regard.

Didn't love the food or drink options....but it was better than the more expensive Disney hotel in that regard. The buses were a little better too, maybe because they don't go to as many places or as far. The Disney bathroom was a little better. Also this place had a gym. It looked fairly large. The hours of the restaurant/convenience store could have been a little better. What's frustrating about that is you want to maybe take some pills with some food, and get to the park early, but you can't get the food, because the restaurant/convenience store isn't open yet. The lines at Starbucks tended to be long. I think the main advantage of this hotel is that you get early access to the park. My wife said "Yeah, and it's an hour early access, not half an hour like that other park. So then you get to walk right into the Harry Potter Gringots ride or maybe the castle. Also I love that City Walk is fairly close by. You don't love the food options? City Walk will solve your problem and more affordably. I agree Universal is just more laid back and in a lot of ways just works better for us and our teenager. I gave this a lower grade because of the hotel itself, but I see it as a vehicle to access Universal, that I see as a currently better overall deal and experience. There was also this point where suddenly it rained crazy hard with lightning. I give it to the staff for jumping into action and taking steps to mitigate problems from that. They closed off the pool at that moment and I think in that case they probably should have turned off some of the pool lighting at that moment. The lighting made me think it might still be open.

We spent a week at the property in early May. We arrived prior to the posted check in time and Bryan was able to find an available room for us which turned out to be an unexpected upgrade. The hotel and rooms are very clean. The staff was great! The complimentary shuttle service to the parks is very prompt. This is our 3rd stay at this property… Read more

We stayed here over Mother's Day weekend and went to Universal's Islands of Adventure. The suite was vey spacious with 2 queen beds and a kitchenette (mini-fridge, microwave, coffee pot, sink and picnic table) and another bedroom with queen bed. The beds were too soft for our liking and seemed to slope inward.

Nice hotel , clean and convenient to parks . I gave a 4 star because they do not fully clean you room or less you stay more than 5 days. I feel staff should clean your room regardless time frame . The beds come with only a thin cover , bring extra bedding for comfort. They don't tell you it's $15 a day for parking until you get there. Parking… Read more

The beds come with only a thin cover , bring extra bedding for comfort. They don't tell you it's $15 a day for parking until you get there. Parking garage is the only parking and it's next to tower 1 . If your room is in tower 2 be prepared to walk really far to your vehicle. Read less
