Reliably great!

I stay at this hotel *every year* when I go to HHN. It is incredibly close to Universal. Rooms are consistently clean, the beds and pillows are very comfortable, and the service is excellent. I love the new cafe they opened in the lobby building which is conveniently open from 6am - midnight every day. Breakfast was fantastic! I never have an issue finding a parking spot. I never have an issue with noisy neighbors. I will continue coming to my second "home" every year!

Great value for money

Overall, good value for money. Not great if you’re looking to spend all day at hotel but a great place to stay if you’re trying to spend most of the day at the park. The bathroom was small though.

The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable enough for a motel mattress. There was a small fridge in the room that kept drinks cold. The employees that I had contact with were friendly. There was a cafe in the lobby where I was able to buy breakfast each day. There was a shuttle bus to and from Universal and Universal Epic every day, which was super convenient. I did not like that there was not a table or chair in the room. The only place to sit was on the bed.
