All staff at the hotel were pleasant, helpful, and professional. Especially the front check in staff! We will be staying again next year for Halloween Horror Nights. Thank you so much! Also wanted to know that when the elevator went down due to someone activating the emergency alarm the staff were very patient with questions about what's going on and answered all our questions and promptly remedied the situation.

Our stay was amazing. There was no noise from other rooms. The view was excellent. The staff was very friendly. Food was great. Our only issue we found was that the glass door didnt fully close when using the shower so there was water leaking out, and the pillows could have been better. They were very lumpy. Next time I will bring my pillow with me.

The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet was actually really well done for a continental breakfast, we were impressed. The staff was pretty helpful and pleasant. We really liked the accessability to Universal either walking or taking the bus - it dropped off right at the front entrance to both!
