I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and the location was perfect. It was just a short walk or boat ride to the Universal parks, making it incredibly convenient. The hotel facilities were top-notch, and the cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable. Additionally, having unlimited express passes for the parks was a major highlight.
Nothing that I didn't like.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff, especially Nicole at the front desk, went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and requests. The service was first-class and the hospitality was outstanding. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with clean pools and hot tubs that stayed open late. The water taxi service to the park entrance was convenient and incomparable to any other transportation options. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby parks. The breakfast options were excellent and the staff was always friendly and helpful.
Nothing, all was good.

We stayed in a club level room, which I highly recommend. The room was nice, with a comfortable bed and good pillows. The hotel facilities were great, including a spacious pool and a complementary boat transfer to the nearby Universal Studios. The location was fantastic, close to everything in the busy Universal area. The staff were very friendly and helpful, ensuring a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay.
Not one thing.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that any issues were dealt with efficiently. The room was lovely - it was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect for accessing the Universal Parks, either by taking a pleasant 10-minute walk along the river or a quick 5-minute water taxi ride. The best part was the Fast Pass access to all the rides included with our hotel room, saving us from long queues and providing excellent value for money.
Can't fault the property in any way.
