Stay here the night before and after your Epic Universe visit. It is worth the splurge! Or stay longer with teenagers and the can come and go to the park. Get a room with a park view and watch the nightly park show from your room.

Our experience at Helios was a great one. From friendly and welcoming staff to the clean rooms. The service was always fast and friendly. Our room was facing the park and what a treat that was. We were able to watch the spectacular light show at night from the room. And you can see the entire park from there. We love all hotels on all the park properties but Helios was very nice because there was no walk or ride to the park. We literally stepped right outside and we were there. If we visit Epic again we will definitely stay there.

Staff was kind and helpful. Hotel was very clean, including the rooms. Our room had an issue with the toilet flushing every 15-20 minutes through the night that was not fixed during our stay and the controls for the lights on the room tablets were clunky and do not alway work. The window curtain controls did not work at all when trying to close at night or open in the morning.
