Prime location for Universal Orlando, impossible to beat how close it is (walking distance). Staff and general vibe of the place is good. Good facilities in general, room is big enough for a family of 3-4 Getting unlimited express passes for Universal Orlando is an amazing perk (without this perk the value of staying here would be diminished a lot though). Pool view room at a high floor is nice. You get a good view of the parks from the room and the pool as well.
