Good hotel for Universal location with boat transportation to/from hotel and good value w. Fast Pass

Hotel is convenient and Starbucks on property is a plus

There were no activities for kids except for arcade and we were not told about it. So not very kid friendly

Charge for parking my car was unexpected and completely unacceptable as if I am paying that much for a room I would at least expect free parking.

Stay in a more modern hotel even if its a bit further away from the parks

Really close to the parks

The rooms need a proper renovation. Outside the building there was construction going on and we were put in a room without any window and with workers working during the day. Very expensive for what you get in the end

The staff were exceptional. After having reservation for months, arrived to be placed in furthest room at end of furthest wing and kept up allnight by unexplaned loud intermittent banging noise. Staff finally moved us late the next afternoon. Staff personally came to our room to check on us and brought card and gift since this was our anniversary trip.. we were expecting scheduled construction...but one day had no hot water..warm is being kind. Then tv didn't work. Staff went out of their way to help each time..they are treasures.

Enjoyed my stay and loved the hotel and everything about it.

Loved the pool and the gym and the adult pool. Lived the flow from our room to get to everything. Lived the singing from the balcony in the evenings.

Rooms a little outdated but it grew on me.

Wonderful, we will definitely be back!

The room was super spacious, we had a balcony on the bay and we were thrilled! The proximity to the water taxi and to the main pool was perfect. We could easily make it back for a swim and a soak in the hot tub after a long day in the parks. We loved the opera performances and the staff were always very friendly! When we arrived we had our luggage sent to bell services as we didn't know if our room would be ready so early and we were delighted to find that it was, the bellman who brought our luggage to our room was super helpful showing us around the hotel (thanks again Hunter!) Most people comment on the long line at Starbucks but when you compare it to the Starbucks in the Mouses' park, it's actually quite short. We never felt crowded at the hotel (and we were there during the Halloween Horror Nights events) The Universal Unlimited Express Pass and Early Entry features were an absolute must for us to be able to accomplish our goal to "Ride EVERY ride in the parks". We will absolutely be back!

Our coffee machine didn't work so we were a little surprised at that. It's a very high end hotel for the cosmetic damage we saw, this poor fellow was patching up the drywall that keeps getting destroyed by the housekeeping carts. The laundry room was a little dirty so it was inconvenient for folding laundry as I didn't want to put my clean clothes on the dirty surfaces.
