Excellent Location and Amenities

close proximity food options
The hotel's proximity to Universal Studios was fantastic, a short walk across the bridge (, made mornings easy!). The on-site amenities were great. I especially appreciated the variety of food options, including the buffet and Starbucks. The pool and jacuzzi offered a relaxing space after a day at the parks.
I experienced low water pressure in the shower, made showering less refreshing. This issue detracted from an otherwise enjoyable stay, and I hope it's something the hotel addresses.

peeling paint thin walls
The hotel was somewhat outdated, i saw peeling paint in the lobby ceilings. this was likely the loudest noisiest hotel i have ever stayed in. walls between guest rooms seemed thin and not insulated. You could hear everything next door. the room doors were not insulated or sealed properly, you could look right through the crease into the hallway.
