The rooms were nice and large, with a washer, dryer, and a kitchen. There are a lot of restaurants nearby, and it’s very convenient to Universal Studios. There is no restaurant on site, only a small kiosk that serves food and closes at 3 PM. I traveled with my daughter and appreciated the security at the gate and the hotel. Keep in mind that you do have to pay resort fees when checking in. The pool was great!
