If you’re planning to go to Universal Epic Universe, this hotel is a great option. Besides being new, clean, and overall excellent, it offers early park admission — a perk that can completely change your strategy for the park.

Really enjoyed this property. Even though it was just my wife and I. The rooms are set for family’s with two queen beds. They have no king beds, and a lot of the rooms can be paired with a lock off for bigger groups. Room was clean and spacious. The good in the Cafe was very good (croissant sandwich in morning and Stella burger at night). Proximity to Epic was walking distance or you can do a quick bus ride. Pool was open late, which was nice to cool down and relax after a long day in the parks. Bus transportation is well thought out and easy to get to any of Universals parks. Well done Universal!
