Arrepentido. Dont do it

Mala experiencia . El check inn es en otro hotel que no fue donde se hizo la reserva. Ahí entregaron la llave y el hotel queda a 1 milla más lejos. Las sábanas con cabellos y eso me deja pensando de la higiene y los cuartos muy viejos. No tienen personal en la recepción. Es un número a marcar . No vuelvo a rentar ahí en mi vida. Mesay silla de plástico .baño azulejos rotos . Bad experience. The check in is in another hotel that was not where the reservation was made. There they handed over the key and the hotel is 1 mile further away. The sheets with hair and that leaves me thinking about hygiene and the very old rooms. They don't have staff at the reception. It's a number to dial. I don't rent there again in my life. Mesa and plastic chair. Broken tiles bathroom.

Great value for Universal.

Great value and very convenient location to Universal Studios. The parking is tight, but very easy to exit through the alley. The beds were soft and the stuffed animals the kids brought were always ruched in waiting for us to return.

I liked it there, I had everything I needed in my room. The fridge and microwave were super handy, the staff was nice and very accommodating and it was clean. There was room service every day and some of the cleaning staff made my bed as nicely as I have only experienced in higher-priced hotels (thanks again for that!). I felt safe there and found its location very convenient as I could walk to many places, including several shops and grocery stores. I found it a bit noisy towards the parking lot when it got busy, but I've often had that with higher priced hotels as well and it was otherwise perfectly fine and I slept well there. I'll definitely come back next time. :)

We enjoyed our stay - The hotel is old but the priece and location are great. bed and bathroom are all right - The a/c was an old model but it worked amazingly well. Good Amenities. Only bad thing was that bed sheets wasn't really clean I watched some hairs and doubt it was for washing.

Good value for the price.

Took the family to Universal Studios and stayed 3 nights. This is an older facility so take that into account. If you're looking for a fairly clean room, a hot shower and a fairly comfortable bed to sleep on, and don't mind it being an older facility, then this is the place for you. It had 2 queen beds and a fold down couch so everyone was able to have plenty of room to sleep. Room is small but provides the necessities. Everything worked like the air conditioner, tv, mini fridge, microwave etc. The room was cleaned and beds made every day which was nice. It was only a few minutes from Universal Studios so I would say the value was good for the price.
