Below average accommodations
Bed wasn't comfortable, a/c unit controls didn't work properly and unit made too much noise. Bathtub was extremely slippery and there are no grab bars or any safety features. Parking lot was very narrow with poor signage and two way traffic forces you to stop and pull over to let other vehicle pass before proceeding

The staff was super friendly open arrival. The room was clean and ready to go. We walked to Universal each day, but there is a shuttle. The free parking at the hotel is a huge plus. They have a little place to eat and get water. I would highly recommend staying here. I gave it a good overall instead of excellent because the walls are thin and if you have loud neighbors, you hear everything.

Overall I have no complaints about the staff. The concern i had in this area was staff members not able to converse in English. To me it seems a necessity for all hotel staff to be able to converse somewhat in the country's language. My second problem was a missing room item. Namely a shower curtain. Granted one was brought to us once it was discovered but how can something like this be overlooked by housekeeping and their supervisor. My third problem was an extra cup of coffee. You pay almost $3 for a cup of coffee with no refills. With hotel staff stopping by for a free cup, it's possible the profit margin wouldn't allow the extra cup (yes, i did try the coffee in the room. It was vile). I do give kudos on the free parking and the overall room price. Considering the location near Universal Studios, they were both a very pleasant surprise. However do be aware if you're traveling with a pet, the pet charge is a daily fee and not a one time fee.

It’s a No for Me
We checked in on 11/29 and checked out on 12/1. The pictures posted on Hotels.com was barely anything like the hotel. The lobby looked most like the pictures, however, there were still some differences. Seemed to be no well lighting in the hotel along with scuff marks and other marks on the walls. When we arrived in our room, the first things we noticed was the trash had not been taken out and there seemed to still be dirt on the floor. In addition, there were also fuzzies/strings on the sheets of the beds and the light switch by the door did not work. The door also seemed to have a hard time closing and you could even see light coming through some. The shower had brown marks on the wall; looked like scuff marks perhaps? In addition, most each night we got the strong whiff of “skunk” smell (if you know what I’m talking about”. On the third night of our stay our key quit working to the door for some reason. I called the front and they informed us we would have to go all the way to the lobby to get a new key. Normally I wouldn’t mind this, but we were at the back side of the hotel on the second floor (no elevators) standing in the cold. Having to truck to the front was exhausting after a day at the parks. We also had a lot of times where we just did not feel safe staying there Overall, the employees were nice and checkout was easy (leave the key in the box at the front desk) but everything else was disappointing.
