Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the spaciousness of the rooms, especially the King Suites which include refrigerators, microwaves, and separate dining areas. Its location near Universal Studios and Icon Park is appreciated, coupled with convenient shuttle services to Universal. An all-you-can-eat breakfast, where kids sometimes eat free, is a popular perk. While generally well-maintained, some guests have occasionally noted the impact of renovations or encountered minor issues.
