My boyfriend and I just checked out of this hotel and let me say - if we could give zero stars, we WOULD HAVE. To start - the rooms are dingy. They smell weird, the bathrooms are gross, and I swear that bathroom door weighed more than I did so it was a struggle to get in and out of. Additionally - we were constantly having problems with turning things on and off. Some of the lights didn’t work, the TV would turn on but wouldn’t turn off or change channels, and some of the outlets didn’t work. Of course, we could’ve called for maintenance to come check it out, but alas, we couldn’t! There was no damn phone in the rooms. Furthermore, we had a jumble of issues when it came to the “free shuttle service” they provided to Universal. Our stay there started with a walk to Universal using the path they recommend, but we felt unsafe taking that walk and decided to get back from Universal using the shuttle service. So, we looked into how to use it, and we saw we had apparently needed some sort of “reservation” to get on these shuttles, despite not previously being warned that we needed one. I then tried to make reservations for this bus, but absolutely nobody would answer the phone! When I finally got ahold of someone, it was an AI bot who told me they no longer provided a bus service to and from Universal. I was then very frustrated as it still listed this service on their website, so I was determined to get ahold of an actual human being to confirm that they did or didn’t do the buses anymore. It took my boyfriend and I seven different phone numbers and over an HOUR to get ahold of someone. To make matters worse, every single one of the numbers we had tried said all of their answering machines were full so it’s not like they could even call me back. I was extremely disappointed in the fact that the front desk OR universal travel group at the hotel could answer the phone and I will NEVER be staying here again.

For this hotel to be advertised close to universal they have not put any money into this hotel it was an older hotel the toilet barely flushed . The bathroom sink was always stopped up the cleaning staff made up the bed but failed to clean the bathroom and give us new tiles and I’m pretty sure one of them stole my watch will never stay here again.. hallways were not cleaned elevator was not cleaned .fridge in room didn’t work and the air just wouldn’t get cold .. I have stayed at holiday inns before and never like this and for this to be advertised as across the street from universal next time I’ll stay farther out and just drive since I had to pay for parking anyway
