I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, spacious, with a great bathroom, and surprisingly quiet despite the hotel being seemingly full. The long bar with seating was a nice touch for enjoying room service or snacks with the kids.

The hotel was a great choice for a family visit to Universal theme parks. The rooms, though a bit snug, came with complementary Express passes for the entire family, which was a major benefit. However, the room was more basic than expected, with small beds and a slightly cramped layout. The service was overall wonderful, with some communication improvement opportunities. The location was excellent for park access, with clean surroundings and easy access to attractions. The dining options, while convenient, were not the healthiest choices available, but reasonably priced. The hotel facilities provided a decent experience, with some room for improvement.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were well equipped, and they even had plenty of towels for all of us; the toiletries were lovely. The bed felt like it was made out of a cloud, making it a dream to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night without tripping over anything. The only downside was the price, which was a bit higher than expected.

The staff was very helpful. They were surely trying to do all they could for the situation and even tried to blame the band; it was like they were saying, 'What else can I assist you with during your stay? '

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious for our family, but we encountered some issues with the hotel staff that affected our overall enjoyment. The location was excellent for accessing the nearby parks, but there were uncomfortable moments during interactions with the staff. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with complimentary alcohol at the Kitchen restaurant, but there were some service shortcomings that affected our stay.

I had a fantastic time at the hotel, especially enjoying the view of the theme parks from my room. The rooms were always clean, but there were some issues with the electrical outlets. The service was generally good, though there were a few hiccups at check-in. The location was perfect for visiting the theme parks and CityWalk, but the pool area could use some updating. The dining experience was top-notch with a great buffet. Overall, a memorable stay with a few minor setbacks.
