Really not sure where to start. Pros: - excellent location for visiting Universal Studios - it's cheap - Great if you just need a place to sleep: (we were seeing a show at the Hard Rock - arrived around 6pm. Left by 10am next day) - beds are clean with comfy pillows Cons: - rooms are old and beat up - tiny bathroom with dirty shower curtain, no soap, only light was in the mirror, no counter space - tv was so dim you could barely see it, and it could not be adjusted - beds were FULL size, not even queens! - $25 for parking in a lot with broken gates - no bar or restaurant - only thing is a beat up Fridays next door - window blind with holes - very noisy a/c but it worked - sheets felt damp due to the ac - carpet seemed dirty - Universal shuttle is awful. It only runs TO the park 3 times in the morning, and FROM the park 3 times in the evening. If you want to go to the park at night, you have to drive, walk or Uber You get what you pay for. I would not stay there again.

We went to a local Fall-Festival at the nearby Theme Park and stayed here so we wouldn't have to pay additional parking or fight the crowd leaving. It was within walking distance to our room and fit the bill nicely. We opted to spend for the additional room upgrade to a suite and late checkout (3:00pm) which haled us rest from the VERY late event ending time (2:30am).

Expensive for what is offered. Room was huge but had minimal furniture, places to stow belongings, and overall felt like a dorm room. No hot water in the shower, lukewarm at best, faucet was about to fall off the wall and the floors felt/looked dirty. Outside windows had visible debris on the outside making the view subpar. Do not recommend

Yanna was very unprofessional and rude here I arrived to check in to be told my room was not ready I gave it another HR. And was told the same thing waited another hr at this point it’s now 5pm I asked my husband to go in now they offer free parking. By 6pm I receive a text how was my stay I responded back my room isn’t even ready. Yanna hotel staff responded back ummm ma’am your room been ready. Explain to me how my room been ready you asked for my number to send me an update when my room would be ready and they failed to do that. When I tell you if you could choose any other hotel Plz Do Not Stay here. Room ready at 6pm but advertise 4pm check in. Parking was ridiculous. They charge for everything like their hotel is top notch.

Beds and pillows were comfortable . The comforter was a little small for the bed though. The shower had sand in the bottom but was clean every where else. Plenty of towels and hand towels but no wash rags. We had a great time and would recommend it to everyone.

We arrived at 5:30pm to be told our room was not ready yet and we were in a Que to get a room after 4 other people. We finally got in a room, we booked a king, this one has two fulls and we went to shower this morning and there was no hot water. When I told the desk at check out they said they’d tell maintence but offered nothing for our terrible stay. Would never stay there again or recommend it to anybody
