amazing FAMILY trip

the front desk agent was not very helpful during check in. i experienced a delay getting to my room. this caused me stress as i wanted to settle down after traveling. MORE training could improve efficiency.

Acceptable visit

the location proved very convenient for visiting universal studios. a shuttle service operated between 7am and 11am. the cleanliness of the room was satisfactory, and the bed provided adequate comfort.
the bar prices seemed very high, and drinks were small. i found the pastries at the breakfast shop to be quite hard, even after heating. the coffee had a noticeable salty taste.
