The room gave off a weird smell when I first arrived but other than that the room was great! Service was great and the pool/hot tub area is amazing! On site restaurant and store so you don’t have to leave to eat or get a quick snack. Loved how close universal studios was to the hotel and icon park!

My room was dirty and had food and some type of jelly on the bed. There was hair in the bed and towels andbit smelled like Marijuana everywhere. The staff lies and the front desk lady was screaming at people saying that there was no more rooms. I went with my two little daughter and i cannot belive this place was like this. I left immediately and they did not want to give me a full refund even though the said they where full. Poor service horrible experience and rude people. Just disgusting!
