It had just opened so everything was nice and new. I am sure it is still that way as it is only a few years old. It is right across the street from Universal. The best I remember the pool is small, but I would compare it with a nice Hampton. The rooms were decorated in dark wood furniture and emerald and burgandy. We have also stayed at the Hampton that is next door. There is also a Wellesey Inn beside it. I would not think you would be disappointed with any of them.
