We had a nice stay. The only issue was the water pressure in the bathroom and then there was no hot water for one night. The staff communicated with us directly with the issue and was trying their best to accommodate us with the issue. This is not the first time we have stayed here and it will not be the last. The staff was very nice and helpful. The cleanliness was not the greatest, but you can see that people were constantly cleaning and fixing. In the end, it was perfect for my family considering it was literally across the street from Universal Studios which was where we spent most of the time anyway.

No hot water

Upon arrival i was informed that there was no hot water. Everyone wanted a shower. They waived a 17$ resort fee for me but still had to pay almost 30$ for parking. They said i can stay somewhere else if i liked, i already paid through Hotels.com and canceling would not give me my money back. Gave me a free breakfast coupon but we left way before i could use it.

DO NOT BOOK

Horrible. No hot water for the entire stay and one of the days there was zero water at all. They didn’t do anything to compensate or offer anything. We had to call corporate to deal with this issue and ended up leaving to stay at another hotel so we could shower. Still waiting on a refund!

Sadly. There was no hot water in the shower, the coffee maker did not work, no sheets for the pullout sofa, and some electrical outlets were not working. The carpet was not clean in the hallway or roon. The rooms are really good in space.

Good stay across from universal

The proximity to universal is across the street. I liked that there’s a TGI Fridays attached to the hotel. Parking was okay, had to download an app to pay. Once that was done it was simple. Room was comfortable, big , two double beds. We got a really good deal. The toilet was low to the floor so as a tall person it was interesting. Overall a good stay , safe , clean , no loud people.

I chose for the location so I could walk to Universal and it delivers on that! There was an issue with the shower leaking but I decided it wasn't a big enough issue to have them fix it right away and was able to close the bathroom door so I didn't hear it overnight. The shower and everything worked and I was comfortable in the room. They do have a free shuttle to Universal but I didn't need to use it because it was only a 15 minute walk anyway. The area felt safe and relatively quiet. I did have an issue with some of the staff... It seems that they had a scam situation going on at one of the desks in the lobby or something because when I checked in the person gave me a paper that said I could get discount coupons for universal, but then when I inquired with the other desk he said I was entitled to a welcome gift of either $200 or tickets to Universal?? Which is definitely too good to be true. After telling me I needed to schedule a tour the following morning and talking around my questions I realized I was not getting $200 or Universal tickets and have no idea what the intention of this person was. I'm from Canada so I'm not used to this scammy nature of US businesses so I was really overwhelmed by this and it negatively affected my stay. Instead of heading to Universal right away I ended up going back to my room to decompress because he gave me a lot of anxiety just talking to him. There's other hotels in the area so I probably wouldn't stay there again to avoid that

We always enjoy our stay at the Holiday Inn and Suites across from Universal Studios. The hotel shuttle makes going to the attraction easy and convenient. I do wish our regular room came qith a microwave as the only one available is in the lobby gift shop and is closed at times.
