We stayed there in May, 2002 for about 10 nights on a bid through Priceline ($28/nt.). Overall it was a very nice place. The deluxe continental breakfast is nice, (waffles, sweet rolls, cereal, fresh fruit, bagels, cream cheese, toast, jelly, juice, coffee, hard boiled eggs) and free and although my DH and I got tired of it after a few days, my three DDs loved it. We saved a fortune just on breakfast. The pool was small but adequate and never too crowded while we were there. We did have a small issue with housekeeping but brought it to the attention of the manager and it was taken care of. It is across the street from Universal's parking structure (but it is still quite a hike). They do have a bus that goes there (but we never used it because we had a car and APs w/ free parking). We were very happy with the hotel considering what we paid and would stay there again for the same price or slightly more.
