Good selection of amenities and the option to have a small suite was the deciding factor. Staff was great. Wasn't overly impressed with the food options but otherwise was a great trip.

Room was super clean, buses to the park were really frequent and we never waited longer than 15 minutes! Pool was nice too but didn’t use it a lot. Can also take the pool towels into volcano bay

Room was on the 1st in tower 2. It was steps away from the pool and lobby. Everything was very clean. Only thing I can say it the bathroom was a little small but of course I wasn’t there for the bathroom. I had a wonderful time there with my family. I will use this location for all of my future visits in the area!!

We loved staying here! I have two teens that loved the pools and the ping pong tables. The food was also very good in the food court and has a good variety! The rooms were super cute and clean and the beds comfortable! We had easy shuttle service to Universal and will be staying here again!

Clean rooms, friendly staff, super affordable. Wish they had an actual restaurant on site though. The cafeteria style was alright but a sit down restaurant would have been great.

For as large as the hotel is there was no sit down coffee shop or resturaunt, which is disappointing. They did however have a large Starbucks that was great! They do have a cafeteria that the food quality is probably great for kids, the fresh fruit was ok but fresher would have been nicer. The other two dishes were ok but not for the price that they charge.
There are resturaunts near the hotel which were great.

Check in was simple and easy, staff very friendly. Didn’t enjoy the onsite food hall, seem cheap food but pay a premium for it, the hotel are happy for you to get food delivered to the hotel which a lot of people did. Kids enjoyed the pool. Plenty of places local to walk to and also free shuttle to universal studios
