    Pretty good stay

    Wasn’t as bad as I thought after reading reviews. Definitely a value resort but my kids loved it and were so happy. The shuttle wasn’t so on time but we did make it to early admission which was worth every second and penny by staying in a universal hotel. We have food allergies so didn’t eat any of the food but it looked good! Check in was fairly quick and everyone was nice. The rooms do need some work. One night we were in a standard room which was ok. Very small. But it was clean. We then switched to a family suite. It was ok. Carpet was dirty near the beds. The pull out couch was falling apart but my son made it work. Can definitely use some minor renovations but in general it was clean and easy and I would stay here again.

    Not impressed.

    We stayed here in 2022 and loved it so decided to come back, however, our experience this time was not the same unfortunately and we have been left disappointed. The room was just not ok or up to standard. We were given a room in the bayside tower which is miles from reception and the food courts. The room was an adjoining room so we heard everything from our neighbours. The shower had two options, freezing or scalding, no middle ground. Most days we were woken by what sounded like 3 loud bangs and then a marble being dropped repetitively. This went on for hours, everyday. Really unimpressed. This building clearly needs a lot of work. It would also be better if you could put freestyle machines in every building, we had to walk miles to get a drink when there could have been a machine downstairs to prevent this.

    Not as bad as I feared, but not great

    Pros- -the room was much cleaner and nicer than I expected based on the reviews. Several of the reviews made me worried that this place would be pretty ghetto. It wasn't ghetto at all so I was relieved. That may be in a big part to the fact that we upgraded right away from a standard room that overlooked the parking ramp to a room that overlooked the pool. -The Bayliner Diner was pretty decent actually -On-site Starbucks Cons- -ONE giant hot tub. And it was closed for maintenance on the ONE night I wanted to use it. Do maintenence during the day when everyone is at the parks! With? After a long day of walking at the parks I just wanted to relax in the hottub for a few minutes. To walk down and find it closed sucks. -People smoke all around the pool area and I smells terrible because of it. Maybe get rid of the smoking areas? It's 2025. Make this place smoke free. All the cigarette smoke makes it feel trashy. -Bayliner diner should open at 6 the same as Starbucks. For people who are up early the only option is the limited and massively overpriced food items from Starbucks Overall, not as bad as I expected based on reviews, but would definitely choose a nicer hotel if I ever come back to Universal

    Great place!!

    Awesome place to stay!!! Love the Bayliner restaurant. Tasty foods including the ahi tuna bowl. The Lazy River and hot tub was enjoyable by all. Love how close to Volcano Bay it is and bus stops outside close. All in all we just love staying here If you have Comcast it can save you more. Starbucks in hotel was awesome!!

    Convenient, fun and not too expensive for FL residents

    Very easy going family place. Walking distance to the parks (a bit of a long walk, not right next door). Big pools and facilities, good informal places to eat, right next door to volcano bay. Rooms are spacious if you get the family room. A little more expensive than outside hotels but a lot cheaper than the higher end universal resorts with the proximity to the parks.
