We stayed here for our 3 days at Universal studios and it was very convenient. The water taxi to and from the park was short and readily available. I would recommend staying here again. The breakfast buffet right on the grounds and made it easy for us to grab a bite before heading to the park for the 1 hour early access. Also the express passes was also included for the stay which was a huge bonus and made our trip even better!

Excellent, everything was great, beautiful hotel, pool and scenery. The express pass and early access were nice inclusion, as well convenience of water taxi to and from the park. Only wish they inlcuded on demand movies in the room like disney. 20$ to 30$ to rent a movie is kind of ridiculous when you spend 500$ to 1000$ on a room.

This was a really nice location to stay at while visiting Universal Studios. The overall experience was nice. It was clear this place was do for some power washing and new paint. They are currently doing construction, while we didn’t have any issues with noise or anything it did take away from the overall experience. The restaurants were quite nice and the staff very polite. Something’s would have been better to know ahead of time, like before checking in, just go straight to the parking garage and park first. Overall would recommend. The mattresses are in need of replacement, very uncomfortable.
