8.8/10 Excellent! (1,228 reviews)

The hotel is nice and convenient to universal studios. The rooms are clean but having to call housekeeping everyday to get your trash picked up or fresh towels was a hassle. One time no one answered and we had to walk down to the front desk to get someone. With kids this was a pain and the elevators were always out of commission everyday. Our last day we only had one working one that was delayed with everyone needing it.

Outdated, mold in the shower, bathroom was not properly cleaned, crumbs on the carpet, and curtains did not close all the way with too much light getting into the room all night made it impossible to sleep. Staff is fantastic though.

Family-friendly, dog-friendly, clean, and a lot of activities avaliable on the property. The downside is that everything is an extra charge and expensive. Some staff was very friendly and helpful while others were rude and about as helpful as a poopsicle. Overall a nice stay and would consider visiting ...
