Fantastic and beautiful hotel! Can’t beat it if you’re wanting to visit Epic Universe. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. No complaints! My room was nice and quiet as well which is a nice change from other Universal hotels, which I find important when going on theme park vacations so you get good sleep to wake up early.
