The Continental breakfast was good, shirt drive to parks but overall dingy accomodations, room felt slightly damp from humidity. Someone with a key card, assuming staff, attempted to enter our room while we were sleeping. The top latch was fastened so they couldn't enter all the way but it was unsettling.

We stayed at this Holiday Inn because it was so close to Universal Studios and offered a free shuttle to/from the park. Our room was very cozy and clean, the shuttle service was very easy to get a reservation for, and we enjoyed the free breakfast this hotel offered!!

Stayed 3 nights for Universal Studios. Free shuttle was perfect for drop off and we opted to do a Lyft on our return since the last shuttle was at 8:40pm but still better than driving and paying for parking. Free breakfast buffet was a great start to our day with many options to choose from. Pool was clean and open late too. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and the entire hotel as well as our room were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

Great stay! The staff was nice and accommodating. We only stayed for a couple of nights and arrived early to head straight to Universal. They kindly let us leave our luggage and do a late check-in, which helped us a lot! We took a $10 Uber to Universal the first day, and the next day we used the free shuttle, a great perk. The room and pool were clean, breakfast was basic but nice, and there are fast food places nearby (Burger King and Wendys) . Would definitely stay again!

The positive is that is not far from universal studios. However, Is a old property, coffee machine in room was rusted. Room did not smell fresh. I requested a wake up call and never received it. Breakfast is included but is not worth it. I chose this property because of my loyalty to the brand. This property did not meet expectations.
