Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located conveniently next to Universal Studios, making it perfect for travelers looking to visit the theme park. The rooms, although spacious and cleaned daily, had a slightly damp odor typical of tropical hotels. The service was exceptional, with friendly and accommodating staff who went out of their way to make my 4-year-old feel like royalty. The dining options were delightful, with a pizzeria offering authentic New York-style pizza and exceptionally friendly staff. The location was unbeatable, with easy access to Universal Studios and various dining options nearby.
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely, and I liked having a new Starbucks location right there. However, the carpeted air conditioner caused some dampness issues, making the room feel and smell old.
