The hotel is within walking distance to Universal Studios, but it's a LONG walk. There is 1 bus in the morning going to Universal and 1 returning, catch it, it's better than walking. A taxi is a good option at $7. The whole feeling of this hotel is DO NOT expect to be pampered. If your goal is to spend... more

I am not a hotel snob. I will stay at a 3 star hotel if it is clean. Honestly a clean room is always my main concern because I spend very little time in the room except to sleep and shower. Before I unpack I do a check of the room that I learned watching one of the news programs.... more

...and that's about it! the staff was nice, but the place itself is a dump! when we first arrived we were welcomed to sinks, photos, pipes, and other random things scattered about on the lawn. it looked like a yard sale that someone took a metal bat too. so after that i wasn't expecting anything special. our room had the... more

Great time!

When I read the reviews I was afraid because I had already made my reservation to this hotel. But we were very happy with our room. Our reservation was for a room with two double beds (for 4 persons) and we had the surprise to have a kitchenette (fridge, dishwasher, table) and a sofa. We had plenty of place and... more

I think that some of the previous reviews of this hotel do it a major injustice. Granted, it is not the newest hotel in the area, nor is it the most luxurious, but it does have some excellent advantages: 1. Location Situated right at at the entrance to Universal Sudios and an easy walk of about 10 minutes to both... more

We stayed here because it was the Holiday Inn and they are supposed to have a good reputation and they were closest to Universal Studios. We were not impressed with the room, but it was a typical hotel unit and was somewhat spacious. But, as we started to put the kids to bed and pulled back the sheets, there were... more

This is a wonderful place to stay. The hotel itself was an average hotel. No frills but a nice place to rest your head after an event-filled day. I loved the separate living room and bedroom in our 1-room suite. Often when you book a "suite" it means it has a couch. The bathroom was rather small and I didn't... more

Upon check in, we went to the suiet turned on the light, and started killing roaches. We backed out into the hall. I collected roaches in a couple of tissues and went to the front deck. The moved use from the 4th. to the 8 floor. This was a smoke free hotel, "NOT". Every one that wanted to smoke went... more

That doesn't sound inviting for a purpose. Do not make the mistake and stay at this hotel. Got a double suite (thinking I was staying in the finest they had to offer) but I was wrong. First we were hit with a strong musty, mildewey odor when we got to the room. All down hill from there. There were "private"... more
