One night stay. Wish we would have stayed longer
Stayed for one night to get fast passes for 2 days at Universal. Well worth it. Hotel is amazing from the moment you see the entrance. Rooms are huge, well kept with a massive bathroom. Staff were very friendly and super helpful. Bar had some excellent live music playing when we went for a drink at the end of the day.

Great hotel in an amazing location
We stayed here for two nights with our two children and it was fabulous. We made the most of express passes and early entry to enjoy the parks butoves being able to pop back and use the gorgeous pool. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommended.
