We thought this was a very nice hotel......good view of Universal if you request it and we could see Disney fireworks at night (far away). The pool was plain but large and enjoyable as was the hot tub. A little pizza place and snack area was convienient. Rooms were nice. TGIF was right there....walkable across a side street.
I was uncomfortable walking through the lobby with my kids, in bathings suits and flip flops as it is really a convention hotel...the shuttle was not convienient....we cabbed it.
