Stayed here for a couple of nights to go to universal studios. Free shuttle was easy to access. Had to book it when we arrived at the ticket desk. Easy checkin. Pool and hot tub were great! Breakfast was delicious with lots of options. Best of all the staff were super friendly and helpful! I would definitely stay here again!

We liked that the property was close to Universal, but had limited shuttle times....we had to Uber constantly during our trip. Overall, the property needs an upgrade, especially being listed as a Universal partner hotel. There was poor housekeeping services (didn't show up the first day until after 5:00pm). The room was decent sized with 2 queen beds, although the fitted sheet did not stay on the bed. Bathroom was quite outdated with water pressure being a major problem. Toilet took forever to flush and had to be flushed multiple times whereas newer ones would have only needed one flush. Late checkout policy was confusing and should have been clarified upon check-in. Many Hilton properties don't accept late checkout until the night before/morning of, but they accept on check-in which wasn't communicated. Early check-in for a room that was already empty was $50 for 3 hours, which seems ridiculous. Being this is a Hilton Grand Vacations property, I expected more. I will utilize my Diamond status next time on a property that is worthy.
