We loved our stay at Stella Nova. It was a great deal. We took the shuttle to/from Epic Universe. We ate multiple meals at the cafe, all were really good. The pool being all shallow was convenient for the kids. We also appreciated the Universal store in the lobby - it was nice to get souvenirs there instead of lugging from the amusement park.

We usually have our favorites when we visit Orlando but this time we decided to take a chance on Stella and it was a great experience. They are very attentive to their guests needs. The property was clean and well maintained. The food was great! The restaurants and shops inside the hotel were all very convenient. We would definitely return here for another visit.

Great place to stay for Epic Universal. Enjoyed the 1 hour pre-opening to the parks and the excellent bus shuttle service to and from the hotel to the Universal parks. The food at the hotel isn't that good, so plan on eating your meals outside the hotel.

Great stay! The property was beautiful, modern, and very clean. It’s within walking distance of Universal Epic Universe, which made our visit incredibly convenient. One of the best perks was the included one-hour early park admission—it was an amazing bonus and definitely worth it. The hotel also offers plenty of breakfast options, making it easy to start the day. We would definitely stay here again!

The hotel stay was very nice. The only issue was that somehow we were checked out of our room the final evening (not the following morning) so had to go down and resolve at the main desk. The proximity to Epic Universe was probably the best part. The pool was nice and lifeguards were very attentive.
