Excellent location and can’t beat the perks of the included Express Unlimited pass. Front desk was very helpful and got us distilled water for our CPAP machines so we didn’t have to leave the hotel to find a store. The club was very nice to grab a quick snack, although it wasn’t worth the added cost of $200/night. Plenty of food for breakfast and dinner, but very slim pickings for lunch (just chips and cookies).

I believe, like many hotels, this wonderful place looks like it needs refresh. It seems rundown after the pandemic. I was there in 2017, and it was a lot nicer. Still had a nice time in 2025, but this place feels tired.

Felt welcome from the minute we walked through the door, the VIP Service team are amazing and went the extra mile for our daughter’s 10 birthday. Highly recommended and worth the extra cost for the express passes and walking distance to the main 2 parks we visited.

Fantastic Stay – Our Go-To Hotel Near Universal! We’ve stayed here three times now, and it’s consistently been a great experience. The location is perfect—just minutes from Universal, making it super convenient for park visits. When we take a break from the parks, the pool is a great place to relax and recharge. The rooms are always clean and comfortable, and despite the lively atmosphere throughout the hotel, the rooms stay quiet—perfect for a good night’s rest. The hotel offers several dining options to fit your schedule and mood: a full-service restaurant, a quick-serve spot, and a classic diner. There's something for everyone! A special shoutout to the staff —always wonderful and incredibly helpful, making each stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Universal!
