I want to start off by saying the staff was incredible but our stay was wrought with broken amenities. We got in late after a delayed flight and a long car rental line only to get settled into our room and discover the shower broken. The staff was very helpful getting us into a new room and refunding us one night but the following night we came back after a long day at Universal and the hot tub was broken. 😩 First world problems but I think this hotel has some issues. The staff is NOT one of them-again, they were awesome!

The room could use a more thorough cleaning. The floor was still somewhat dirty — which may be more noticeable since it isn’t carpeted. It likely needs more than just vacuuming to appear properly clean. There was also an unpleasant smell in the bathroom, similar to urine. Although there are six elevators, they seemed to stop on nearly every floor each time we went down, making the elevator ride take about 5–10 minutes. The staff is good, close to epic and shuttle to the other universal.

Very nice resort Pros- Brand new clean resort!! Access to epic universe in few minutes. Shuttle services to all Universal parks are easy. Resort swimming pools, hot tub, sand play area are too good!! Cosmos cafe and in house restaurant serves very delicious food!! Loved their chicken wings, pizzas, coffee!! Cons- Some staffs in cafe and restaurant mainly billing seems to be rude and didnt help with some pricing questions about the drinks!! There was many staffs very very warm and helpful also!! Rooms could have been bigger with more walking space. Big drawback is ,there is no access to elevators on both sides of the floor! Since it is built like a space ship, you have to always walk a mile to get elevator, if you get a room at the tail end!! There are atleast 100 rooms per floor!! Super long walks in the busy mornings to catch the elevator is annoying!! We changed our room just for this reason!
