It was alright

My friends and I stayed here for one night when we attended Halloween Horror Nights. The room was great. very clean and comfortable. The hotel staff was a different story. We called ahead to make sure we could check in, (as i’m 19 years old) and they told us we wouldn’t have a problem, that the check in age was 18. When we got there the manager told us the check in age was 21 and she huffed and puffed about it but still allowed us to stay. We got 3 rooms and 2 were ready early, so they told us it would be ready at 3, when check in actually was. It wasn’t, however, ready until 4:30, and the manager was very rude about it. I would recommend the hotel to anyone, just prepare for a late check in with absolutely no help from the staff.

Traveler's tip on nightlife

If you plan to drink while your out, ask the front desk to call a cab for you. They were there in 5 minutes flat and it was only 5 dollars from the hotel to Universal Studios.

Great Hotel - Great Location

As close to Universal as you can get without being on-site. They serve a good hot breakfast at the hotel so fill up before you head out for the day. Good restaurants nearby as well as all of CityWalk & I-Drive a short drive away. Clean nice hotel with helpful staff and a clean outdoor pool. If you are visiting off-peak don’t worry about the shorter hours of the parks because the lines are so much shorter which is great. If you like pizza Cici’s is great and cheap! TGIFriday’s is nearby and also very good service and food. Walgreen’s is also a very short walk away. Plan on renting a small car and pay the $12 per day for parking at the parks, it is well worth it - also your feet and you spouse and kids will love you. We all need that right? Remember you were a kid once - so act like one - they will love you for that too. Act young and have fun... Tony P, Wisconsin

You will get drenched on the Popeye & Bluto Water Ride, but the others are not too too bad. If you forget a plastic bag for money purses etc borrow one from a gift shop. The Spiderman & the Simpson’s virtual rides are not bad and you can always close your eyes and only feel a little rocking and shaking. Make sure you get an early start because time flies when you’re having fun.

I had a great time at this hotel. The bed was so comfortable I didn’t want to leave.
