"This is the perfect hotel when going to Universal Studios. It's walking distance, but there is also a shuttle. My only complaint would be the lack of staff helping at the check-in desk. We stood there for a very long time before we had assistance and there appeared to only be one person working, who seemed overwhelmed, at least that was my thought by her attitude and lack of greeting."
