I stay at Major Blvd every time I do to Universal. Unbelievably easy to get to the parks and back to the hotel. You could walk but I wouldn't. It's probably a mile to the parking garage, then you have to walk to the parks and in the parks-alot of walking.
The hotel is nice and clean. The rooms have fridge and microwave. The pool is small but nice to cool off. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
