This hotel appeared to have been a much older hotel that Holiday Inn took over and just tried to put band-aids on the defects instead of remodeling. Not up to Holiday Inn standards.

Our Jr Suite was very spacious and comfy. There was a lot of storage, and I really liked the shower. Breakfast was amazing with so many choices! I also liked that they had drinks, iced coffee and snacks for sale in the lobby. Though I didn't use the pool, we did enjoy sitting poolside in the morning. I will stay here again.

Stayed 3 nights for Universal Studios. Free shuttle was perfect for drop off and we opted to do a Lyft on our return since the last shuttle was at 8:40pm but still better than driving and paying for parking. Free breakfast buffet was a great start to our day with many options to choose from. Pool was clean and open late too. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and the entire hotel as well as our room were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

Walls are way too thin! Could hear full on conversations in the adjoining room. You’ll be waiting for elevators early in the morning. The AC is either freezing or not. You’d think there’s an in between but there isn’t. Place is clean though and has breakfast!
