Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Even though close to bridge that allows walking to Universal, it would still be about a mile or mile 1/2 walk to park entrance, so we drove and parked.

The rooms are clean and spacious with contemporary decor. The location is great, less than a 5 minute walk to a bunch of restaurants and super close to Universal. The included breakfast was good. We requested an extra blanket, and they had it to our room in minutes. It’s an excellent value for the price.
