We did not feel safe. Rooms were small. No restaurant. Went to another hotel.
Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: Not what I expected from the pictures.

Very good location for Universal...
Liked: I booked for the proximity to Universal Studios and for that it was excellent. The staff were also very nice, and our room was quiet and spacious.
Disliked: The pool was not much to look at. I didn't care but my niece was disappointed.

Underwhelming hotel, great location
Liked: The property was close to universal and we could easily walk there.
Disliked: The property was “under construction “ but seemed done, and badly. The shower worked-ish, the bed barely had a blanket, and the finishings were a little concerning. The bar was also not open on the scheduled hours (but the one person at the desk was able to grab anything separately bottled) The gym was relatively laughable.

Disappointed, had high hopes because...
Liked: I appreciated the free bottles of water in the room.
Disliked: Parking is $37 a day and you had to park double cars and leave the keys at the desk if you were behind someone. The room had a weird smell and everything in it was falling apart or didn’t work. Only found one outlet that worked near the bed. The bed was really squishy and it was hard to sleep, the pillows were just blobs of stuffing. The wooden window coverings don’t block out the light and one was even broken. Not sure why they don’t also have curtains. The road its on can also get noisy. The lamp shades were all torn up and dirty. The floor was dirty, and felt like it wasn’t cleaned at all. The bathroom didn’t feel clean and especially the shower. Hair and dirt that could’ve easily have been cleaned up. The shower heads are a horrible set up, and if you have one on, the other will still have water coming out of it. I even lost water pressure during a shower and that took forever to get the soap out. To me in general, it didn’t seem like the housekeeping had a supervisor check the room. With all the other ratings of the place that I’ve seen, I was shocked at the condition of the room.
