I had a wonderful stay at the hotel and appreciated the friendly staff and quick check-in. The location was perfect for visiting the nearby attractions, and the outdoor heated pool was a great spot to unwind. The only downside was the noise from construction work next door, which was a bit intrusive at times, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

Rooms

The room was spacious and quite comfortable, although it felt a bit outdated in decor. It overlooked the pool, which was nice but could compromise privacy.

7.8/10

Our stay was mostly enjoyable at this hotel, with a clean room, friendly staff, and a great location near Universal Studios. The breakfast wasn't the best, and some amenities like the safe and bathroom fixtures had issues, but overall, it was a decent experience. Just be cautious about the timeshare pitch they promote, as it can dampen your stay.

Rooms

7.0

The room we had was very nice, clean, and well-equipped, though we encountered a couple of maintenance issues like a broken safe.

Service

The staff were kind and accommodating, promptly addressing our concerns, especially when the AC broke during our stay.

Location

9.0

The location is convenient, just a short ride to Universal Studios and close to shopping, which we appreciated.

Dining

6.0

The breakfast was basic but served its purpose, with items like powered eggs and waffles, yet the creamer issues were a letdown.

Facilities

8.0

The pool was small but nice and never crowded, providing a relaxing spot after busy days.
