After reading the negative reviews about this hotel, I was a little nervous to stay. People complained of smelly rooms, long check-in times, rude staff, and dated carpet/furniture. I experienced none of that. I am just a regular lady that stayed at this property for 4 nights - I am not a rewards or honors member nor was I asked to do this review. I just want people to know how this property really is and not be deterred or question their booking choice. Upon walking in, you can see the big courtyard with a pretty fountain/pond on the other side of the glass windows/wall. The lobby had lots of seating and was full of light. Check in was really quick and painless. A young man named Diogo or Doigio or Diogio (something along those lines, I apologize) helped us. We were 15 minutes early to check in - he gave us warm cookies which was nice after a long day of travel. The room was clean and smelled just fine.. there was a cute gelato shop in the hotel as well. If I had to point out the negatives of this hotel I would say the Starbucks workers were pretty grumpy and the rooms had barely any sound blocking/insulation. I could hear people in the hall like they were in my room, especially doors closing and elevator dinging. It did not disrupt my sleep that I could tell but it was noticeable. The area was safe and close to Universal. Overall I would probably stay again.

The property was extremely clean, and the staff was very helpful and nice. There could have been two things improved upon better lighting in the room and another option other than Starbucks for coffee. It’s a very nice place to stay and I would highly recommend it.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was a little older but overall, not bad. The amenities at the property were fantastic! Despite the fact that the laundry room was closed for 2 days due to updates, I was overjoyed when I got to get in it because it had brand new LG machines and it plenty of them to use all for just $4 a wash and dry!! 🙂

There was no conditioner in our room. There was 2 shampoo and shower gel. One small bar soap for washing hands. Went to front desk to ask for conditioner and bar soap and we waited no one came to our room so called the front desk again and they did send a conditioner and shower gel liquid instead of bar soap so we have to use the shower gel to wash our hands. We were too tired to call and ask for a small bar soap. It would be nice to have microwave but it’s ok we are gone most of the time anyways. The cookies are very nice.
