Great location. We booked to take advantage of the free express passes for the universal parks, so was a holiday within a holiday. We requested adjoining rooms, which was done. Large, comfortable rooms. Perfect for a short stay. We had a problem with the electric sockets/lights along one side of the room but didn't notice until bedtime. When I mentioned it at checkout (so it could be fixed for the next stay), they were very apolgetic & gave us vouchers for the starbucks. I am sure they would have sorted it the previous night if they had known. Beds were very comfortable.

Not worth it

Love the express passes, Rooms are clean and comfortable But other than the artwork around the hotel, there is nothing special to award the price per night $600+ the other universal hotels Royal pacific which we stayed at previously also gives express passes, also close to the parks with water taxi option and also was just as comfortable & clean in the room and it cost $150+ less per night Wasn’t impressed that when we purchased epic tickets at the hotel we were being pushed towards buying express passes and thank god we didn’t as we didn’t need them at all. Also while we stayed there they were doing renovations and there was going to be some noise and water interruptions eh uh we did experience since we are not ones for being out super early at the parks, although notified this upon check in… what was our alternate? We wouldn’t stay again, it’s not worth the additional and would rather pay a little less go back to royal pacific and we’d still get the express passes so wouldn’t see any difference except not viewing the artwork as we walk through hotel….

Fantastic Stay – Our Go-To Hotel Near Universal! We’ve stayed here three times now, and it’s consistently been a great experience. The location is perfect—just minutes from Universal, making it super convenient for park visits. When we take a break from the parks, the pool is a great place to relax and recharge. The rooms are always clean and comfortable, and despite the lively atmosphere throughout the hotel, the rooms stay quiet—perfect for a good night’s rest. The hotel offers several dining options to fit your schedule and mood: a full-service restaurant, a quick-serve spot, and a classic diner. There's something for everyone! A special shoutout to the staff —always wonderful and incredibly helpful, making each stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Universal!

I only have this 4 stars because there were a few things that fell short to what would have been five stars- the rooms were small And the placements of the mirror (although cool gesture to see what rock stars are your height) the placement of the mirror was awkwardly positioned. No one could get a full view of themselves farther than 2 feet from the mirror as the bed was in the way. Also, on a Saturday night we were expecting some fun activity happening in the lobby area, like maybe Music Bingo, or some sort of trivia or karaoke . There was nothing except the velvet lounge open for just 21 and over—- the singer was fantastic. We were expecting to continue the high energy from the park and rides at the most rocking’ hotel on the property. Also, the complimentary water cooler was always empty and needed refilling. Other than those details but key I believe, the service was great the accessibility to transportation to city walk and attractions were wonderful.
