The room had loudest A/C unit.. turned off try to get sleep after all day at Universal Studios, but room start getting musty on top of that pillows are too old with no cotton inside left except middle of night found one from other shared bed.
I got that there is no breakfast served but when we checked in we been told coffee or tea is complementary which no where to be found. Asked the front staffs and staffs said yes wait for a moment but waited for 30 mins … keep looking at us but continue ignore and keep check in other people..(;0(

The room had a portable air conditioner that was loud and not easy to regulate the temperature. If it weren't for the convenience of the location to Universal I would not have stayed there and probably will not again on the future if I were to retun.
Nice rooms cool shower setup - convenient 24 hr market for necessities - nice bar and lounge. Didn’t see po and fitness center is just aerobic. Great vegan cafe and taco place right next door. Super close to universal studios - my son and I just hoofed it! Not sure if above but someone walking was pretty noisy at 6-8am, like really loud. I’d stay again - overall really good experience!
The staff were very kind, also so thankful they have 24hr service, because we got locked out while at universal hhn and we were able to get a new key from the front.
Don’t be fooled by the pictures of the lobby, that’s the nicest a part of the hotel.
The room was disappointing. It was rather large but had no couch were there was clearly a space for one. The fridge kept tilting and was not cold. The faucet head had a dirty ring around the base and was not properly attached to the sink! It kept popping up when you turned the water on.
The elevator was broken, fine no problem, but at least offer to help with bags so parents with kids don’t have to make multiple trips up the stairs with their kids.
The pools was an absolute joke. It’s actually a cold hot tub in the parking garage that you have to get the front office staff to unlock for you.
There is no shuttle to Universal Studios. You have to walk to the park itself….past the smell of urine, dirty poopy toilet paper on the sidewalk, men passed out in the park and heavy street traffic. Then the Universal shuttle on the park property takes you up the hill to the entrance.
Pretty Spartan place. More like a motel with fancy marketing than a real hotel. Nice lobby, but very slow check in, a rather indifferent staff, and pretty basic uncarpeted rooms. Everything worked, the shower was good, all was relatively clean (though strong disinfectant smells throughout). But keep price-quality in mind when you book. Don't pay hotel prices.
Unfortunately, this trip was for my daughter's birthday going to Universal Studios so the location was a 15-minute walking distance to the shuttle. No need to pay for parking so that's a plus. However there were a few issues starting with the elevator was out of service on arrival. Having to take up luggage up the stairwell to the 3rd floor with younger children. The room initially looked good however, there was hair behind the sink from either previous guest or cleaning staff. The hotel did mention was going under renovation so some of the areas were to be expected. It then rained and started leaking through the room. Had to place a trash can underneath to catch the rain which left a huge water mess in the kitchen area that spread to most of the floor. Having an electric vehicle and expecting to use the EV charge the hotel provides wasn't operational, the pool was very small in an open area and not well maintained nor heated. Outside of the location in relation to Universal Studios was a fairly disappointing stay.

The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. However, there were minor repairs needed in the room, the ac was very loud and the beds would make a loud rattling noise when moving.
The property is poorly maintained. Upon checking in I was told the elevators were broken and had to use the stairs. No help was offered with our bags. The room was sparse and clean. The mattress and pillows could be replaced. Not enough towels were provided and the staff was polite but hesitant to provide more. The shower faucet seemed previously repaired but worked. The AC fan was so loud it made getting to sleep difficult and woke me when it cycled on. Parking was awkward with most spots requiring blocking in another car. Keys were to be left at the front desk else your car would be towed. The one EV charger present did not work and the other spots had only wires. The hotel charges a daily fee to provide financial support to the staff. Shouldn’t this be the responsibility of the employer? It seems they are too busy chasing profits.
