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….
