My stay was a mixed bag, honestly. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, making it really easy to get to both Disneyland and Universal Studios. The breakfast was decent, with plenty of options to choose from, but the experience felt a little chaotic at times. The pool area was well-taken care of, which was great. However, I did run into some room issues that were frustrating. Overall, the hotel offers good value for what you pay, but it does have its drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was amazing for getting to the Universal parks, and I found the rooms clean and cozy, making it a solid choice overall.

We had a decent stay at this hotel during our Universal Studios vacation. The location is excellent, very close to the parks and plenty of dining options. Although the staff was friendly, the rooms could use an update and a deeper clean. The breakfast was okay, but it could definitely be improved with more options. Overall, it was a mixed experience, but we would consider staying again due to the convenience it offers.

5.0/10

The hotel had a decent location, but I encountered several issues during my stay that detracted from the experience. The breakfast offered some variety, but many of the items were subpar. While the staff at check-in were helpful, the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the facilities left much to be desired. Additionally, the check-in process was frustrating due to a time-share sales pitch I had to endure just to get my parking permit.

Rooms

The room had a strong smell and showed signs of neglect, including painted-over mold in the bathroom.

Breakfast had options like boiled eggs and fruit, but the hot food and pastries were disappointing and dry.
