Haven't stayed here but this hotel would be my first choice if we ended up making a trip this summer. It works well with our family of 5. I like the extra space and included breakfast. It is supposed to be walking distance to the Universal parks but I don't know how easy a walk that would be for those that are younger (but not young enough to be in a stroller) and those that are older. And in the heat and after a long park day, anyone might prefer to drive.
