Absolutely beautiful property, friendly staff clean room was amazing very close to universal, which was nice. The only suggestion that I would have is we were in a handicap accessible room with a shower that you could wheel a wheelchair in. It would’ve been nice to have like a squeegee because the water pulled in front of the toilet and we had to use towels to wipe it up, but besides that everything was amazing definitely will be staying here again if I come back this way.
They are still under construction and what they have finished wasn't done correctly. The staff was great and accommodating however it does not make up to the price is paid. Universal studios and city walk are close its like a 10 dollar lyft depending on the time you go and leave.
I loved the hotel…very nice!! The $37/night for parking was out of control!! No free breakfast or anything but a couple free drinks at the bar would have been great if we drank. Staff was very kind and helpful!!
The hotel was nice enough, but not what I expected for the price but in the right location the pool was in the garage in the back and he had to have someone unlock the door. It was kind of odd we didn’t want to use it with the kids also, the room was nice enough. I’d like the size we had a little deck in the back but the bathroom smelled a little musty, but other than that, everything was good.

Wouldn’t come back here, doesn’t look like they really care about the rooms, bed was clean and such amenities were in order but definitely noticed they don’t care about some of their lightings in the bathrooms we had some flickering bulbs, doesn’t really look like the photos, the carpet outside the rooms is dirty with stains and it feels murky within the hotel.
Rooms were larger than expected. No room service for 3 days and the pool was across the parking lot. Pretty close to walk to the Universal Studios Hollywood shuttle
An amazing location, so close to universal studios! I didn’t know what to expect but this was a great hotel and it was very clean. Highly recommend.

The parking was bizarre to say the least. Two rows of parking that pinned a car in if it was busy, so they asked you to leave you keys with front desk. Weird.
The reception area had a sign for a self serve coffee bar. I went down in AM for a cup of Joe and carafe was empty, so Keurig was nearby and I inserted a pod but device lacked water. I went to front desk explaining the situation and was informed Keurig was for employees only and coffee had to be created exclusively by employees. What about any of this was self serve? She made me feel like it was a major inconvenience for her to provide me a lousy cup of coffee.
I got two free drink coupons upon check-in. Those and location were the best things about this overpriced hotel.
