Staff were friendly and attentive and the check in/out was really easy. Parking was safe/gated. Breakfast was either a muffin or packaged oatmeal, but the hotel was walking distance to really good food of all kinds. We walked to and from Universal studios and Xavier even gave us a printed map to walk there from the hotel. There IS a free shuttle for part of the way (the steep part). We would stay here again.

Loved the shower and covered parking. The vehicles were secure. Very polite check in personnel. Only thing thing I missed was free coffee in the morning from the lobby. It would’ve made 5 star. Thankfully, there was a 711 in walking distance…but it was a very cold morning.
