I loved how close we were to Universal parks/City Walk. I also loved the amenities provided at the hotel such as pool, splash pad, lazy river and slide as well as arcade and bowling alley. I didn't like the check in process, it was a long wait just to check in(I understand it was spring break which tends to be extra busy in Florida, but I feel like it could be more streamlined, felt underwhelmed compared to check in process at Disney hotels). The staff was wonderful though, Meredith, who checked me in was really nice/helpful and even upgraded us to a suite, which was a lovely surprise.

We stayed here before and liked that it had enough room for a family of 5 and was close to Universal parks. This time started out great as we were able to check in early at 1pm. However, one of the only 2 elevators in our building was broken when trying to go to 3rd floor, and both TVs in our were not working the entire trip. We texted and called regarding this multiple times and were told it was a cable issue. Maintenance also said he couldn’t fix. We also had no cleaning the 2nd day we were there, which we weren’t told at check in. They only clean rooms every other day. The final straw was the cockroach that ran across our floor the second night. We had to throw out all of the food containers on our counters.
