Shower- almost unable to shower, pressure inexistent…. Parking was advertised in Expedia description of the hotel to be free but it is 34 dollars per night. Location is ok, can’t really walk unless you want to hike up the steep long hill- another misinformation by Expedia describing this hotel as a walking distance. Rooms are clean and spacious but not worth the price.

Perfect location for Universal Studios, it is within walking distance to the Universal Studios shuttle. Just note there are homeless people in the area, but we never felt unsafe. Omar at the front desk went above and beyond for everything that we needed! Omar rocks!!!

The property was close to Universal, if you wanted to hoof it up hill you could walk within 20 or so minutes . Otherwise a 5-7 minute walk took you to the tram that was super convenient for park entry. The room and property was clean and welcoming. It would be nice to have a small continental breakfast, but they had a 24/7 market that helped. Also a cute little donut shop with a great breakfast selection a few doors down. Would absolutely stay here again!!!

Low quality stay
Second time at this hotel and did not have a good experience. Worst people were right next door, which is no one’s fault. But the walls are thin and we heard everything all night long. Shower had no water pressure at all, very hard to shower. Security lock was missing screws and dangling from the door. No ice maker on first or second floor and no heater, instead portable room heater. Also had to move lamps because the lamp in between the beds had plugs that were too loose to charge a phone.

Property was close to universal studios. Easy to access and room was a good size. More of a hotel for adults, not really a place for a family.

I have stayed at this hotel before and never had an issue until this time, when I checked in the woman at the front desk was a bit rude and had a bit of an attitude and she told me there was an issue with my room and didn’t think anything of it until we realized there were no pillows available for the sofa bed??

We had a great stay at the property itself, the beds were so soft, although when we left to walk anywhere it felt very unsafe and dirty. A suggestion would be shittle service directly from the hotel to Universal Studios like Disney does. Also, the additional pay for parking in the garage $34 a day should be included in the nights stay, across the street is not safe at all.

Everything was good. It's too bad the pool wasn't in service, which was one of the main reasons we made the reservation. My family was also disappointed, too.

A lot to be desired.
Horrible check in experience, no water pressure in the shower and toilet was clogged. Only benefit was location is close to City walk and universal studios.
