Rooms are a really good size and clean. The staff are impeccable, could not fault a single staff member, even the ones we didn't have any interaction with made a point to greet us and be friendly. The only bad point was the amenities in the shower. The soap didn't smell great and it could have done with a detachable shower head

Amazing stay! This is our second time here & we had another great time. We have stayed at pretty much all the Universal hotels. This option is great for a cheaper stay, particularly if you are visiting a family & want a suite without paying a fortune. Nothing at all feels budget in the hotel.

Amazing stay! This is our second time here & we had another great time. We have stayed at pretty much all the Universal hotels. This option is great for a cheaper stay, particularly if you are visiting a family & want a suite without paying a fortune. Nothing at all feels budget in the hotel. The staff are super friendly & the place is spotless. I don’t think we waited more than 5 minutes for a bus to the parks for the whole stay. I would 100% recommend to anyone. You will have a fabulous time! Read less

We loved staying at this resort. There is enough room for kids and parents with 2 separate rooms. We were on a budget so we walked to restaurants nearby and bought food from Walgreens which was literally across the street. The Islands of Adventure park was amazing and it was easy getting the resort shuttle there. We are looking at going back soo.… Read more

Everything about this resort hotel filled our needs. Later evening food, drinks and snacks? No problem. Fully staffed Starbucks? Yep. Avis car rental? Of course….and the Avis rep was absolutely amazing to work with!

Everything about this resort hotel filled our needs. Later evening food, drinks and snacks? No problem. Fully staffed Starbucks? Yep. Avis car rental? Of course….and the Avis rep was absolutely amazing to work with! Oh, and the main reason most people stay here, Universal, which also has a separate counter to answer questions and purchase tickets and bus transfers every few minutes. Being part of the early admission got us to the Hagrids ride line with a 5 minute wait. Worth getting up early! The gift shop was perfect for this size hotel, and all of the staff were extremely friendly and talkative. The pool is small, but perfect for a relaxing afternoon. The outside bar has a full variety of mixology and a typical resort drink price, or less. I was concerned we would experience noisy and loud conditions, based on past reviews. Not at all! Best part, the surprise suite upgrade when we checked in. 🌴💗 I would definitely stay here again, even if Universal wasn’t on the agenda. Read less
