We had a great stay! However I feel it best to share both pros and cons. Pros Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. (Unfortunately I didn’t get everyone names as there were a few). I did get regular text updates from Marlyn, Wally, Devi, Richard) Check in was smooth. Everyone at the front was extremely nice and patient. Success in particular was an extremely helpful concierge. He was pleasant and helpful navigating the general area, dining recommendations and with general assistance at the property. Extremely clean rooms. Which is what was important to us. Very Spacious. Close to universal and it helps that private transportation was included to make it convenient. We made use of the cabanas which was really nice to hang out pool side. Cons There is construction so part of the street it blocked off. It didn’t affect us arriving but it did affect any deliveries trying to get to the property Dining Was very limited but we made use of delivery services No daily cleaning or turn down staff an amenity that I personal look forward to. The safe in our original room didn’t work properly and Our room lacked hot water but we were quickly changed to a new room with better pressure and lots of hot water. Small inconvenience to move however the staff took care of us right away Overall great stay for the price. Very clean. Great staff. Not overly crowded compared to resort properties. Centrally located. I would stay again.

Weed and Elevators

We have stayed at this facility numerous times. In the past I've seen drug deals going on in the parking lot which is gated. There are people occasionally coming in who are not guests at this facility. It always smells like weed. People always Park in the handicap spots without a permit. First of all, there are four elevators that service each tower. Even with three elevators, we should never have to wait 10 minutes to get to the first floor, but we do. The strangest thing was when we left our room to go to Universal Studios and guest services called me to ask if they could get in my room to fix our hot water problem. A problem that I never reported. The staff seems to do a good job and they're very friendly. I believe that the person in the guard shack probably doesn't know that he/she can kick people out for loitering/illegal parking/illegal activities, or perhaps the hotel doesn't give him or her the authority. Beautiful resort, but I aint coming back.

The 2 bedroom suite was perfect for our family of 6. We loved the option to prepare our own food. The pool was enjoyed by us all and staff were pleasant. I'm frustrated because 2 charges were put on my credit card that we did not make and I have contacted the resort multiple times and left multiple messages and they have not returned any of my messages. For this reason I would be weary of staying there again.
