It’s a No for Me
We checked in on 11/29 and checked out on 12/1. The pictures posted on Hotels.com was barely anything like the hotel. The lobby looked most like the pictures, however, there were still some differences. Seemed to be no well lighting in the hotel along with scuff marks and other marks on the walls. When we arrived in our room, the first things we noticed was the trash had not been taken out and there seemed to still be dirt on the floor. In addition, there were also fuzzies/strings on the sheets of the beds and the light switch by the door did not work. The door also seemed to have a hard time closing and you could even see light coming through some. The shower had brown marks on the wall; looked like scuff marks perhaps? In addition, most each night we got the strong whiff of “skunk” smell (if you know what I’m talking about”. On the third night of our stay our key quit working to the door for some reason. I called the front and they informed us we would have to go all the way to the lobby to get a new key. Normally I wouldn’t mind this, but we were at the back side of the hotel on the second floor (no elevators) standing in the cold. Having to truck to the front was exhausting after a day at the parks. We also had a lot of times where we just did not feel safe staying there Overall, the employees were nice and checkout was easy (leave the key in the box at the front desk) but everything else was disappointing.

Good, clean, great location!
Stay was good. The bath tub leaked so if you are prone to hearing noises keep the fan on so u don’t hear it. Room was nice clean and no smell so that was good :) bed hard. Didn’t sleep well but I like softer beds so no neg towards that. Pillows really fluffy! Don’t hear much from outside or other rooms. 2nd floor is nice. Parking was good but got packed by 11pm.

Stay somewhere else!!! Very poor quality!
The room hard to find. Hidden in far off corner and not in good quiet way! It was closest to noisy highway and hotel was not even close to half full! Loud people, skateboarding or something thru the parking kept us up. Room was old and outdated. Hard to believe rated very good! For the money, no breakfast and very low quality. Couldn’t relax in entry lounge when first got there-kids running around and laying all over the furniture!

This was an average hotel in walking distance to universal. The shower fixtures were a little janky and not caulked on. There is no breakfast included and the cafe on site was sub par. There was a large parking lot party the weekend we were there that was pretty rowdy. Overall we were only at the hotel to sleep and took the shuttle to the park. The shuttle doesn’t run late so we had to uber back each evening.

The the room was smaller than it appeared in the advertising pictures. I was assigned to a room that had a connecting room next to it the walls were very thin as far as sound barrier goes! I have never had such an experience, as the conversation from the guest in the next room were as loud as if they were talking right beside me! I spoke to the front desk about getting me assigned to one of the few rooms I noticed that didn't have a connecting room. I was told that they didn't have any available at the time. That was the big negative about the experience of my two night stay there. Needless to say I will not be staying at this hotel again!! 1

Not sure how it's 3 star
Not sure how this is a 3 star hotel. Felt more like a cheap motel. The reception area and little cafe were cute, and the landscaping was nice, but the rooms were not very clean. There was a weird smell, discoloration all over the bathroom sink, and exposed wires in the bathroom. Their idea of "updating" was spray painting the lamps and poorly repainting the walls in what looked like endless layers. One of the rooms keys they gave us didn't work. Should be a 2-star motel.
