Rosie at the front desk is so kind and takes time to help you with any and all questions. I had a silly question about my reservation and she answered ally questions and made check in a breeze. The hotel is nice and the breakfast portions are great! I highly recommend this location.

5 stars for the customer service alone. Bonus points for the free Universal shuttle and free parking. Had the service not have been as great, it'd be a 4. Nothing fancy, but the place was clean and comfortable. Convenient location to the Universal parks, restaurants, and chain retailers.
