we did walk from our hotel into universal, a few more steps than parking, but it saved us $19 a day and it's a nice walk. Great hotel room. Comfy beds and pillows. Excellent heated pool! Really nice employees, just generally great. We would stay there again. It's connected to a tgi Fridays and they deliver room service for less than a regular hotel. Great food too. The wifi worked fine on my laptop, but not well on our phones. If you have an apple airport express, take it along to boost the hotel wifi. We were at the very end of our hallway, so that probably accounts for our phones not getting good wifi. [Details]

The strong points
Great mattresses, pillows and bedding and good soundproofing in rooms. Staff is helpful. Pleasant 15-minute walk to Universal.
The weak points
Bathroom ceiling was moldy, long-distance phone calls are $6 per minute and there are few restaurants closeby. The only place to buy groceries within walking distance is a Walgreens a 10-minute walk away.

Overall, this was good value for the price paid. Our package included a 4 day pass to Universal Studios, so the cost without that was superb! The hotel wasn't spectacular, but it was clean, the staff were helpful and it was directly across the street from Universal Studios. [Details]

Hotel has been newly renovated in contemporary modern feel. Staff friendly, helpful and eager to please. Great location with TGIFriday's next to hotel and offered very reasonable room service menu. Room was quite spacious although the washroom was a little small, but clean and attractive. Short walk to Universal Studios and City Walk, and on the I-Trolley route. Hotel was an integral part of a great stay! [Details]

We enjoyed our experience here. Room was wonderful and so was the service. The kids loved the pool. In order to access DisneyWorld you would need to rent a car for sure. It certainly suited our needs for sure. [Details]
