Amazing stay

We stayed for one night to get fast passes and upgraded to club level, every aspect was well worth the money we paid. Beautiful hotel and probably the highlight for the kids was the night time movie in the pool.

Brittni, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Trip was good. Communication could be better. First we were told our key card was our fast pass for Universal Studios…..only to find out later this did not include Epic Universe. Then we were told a shuttle ride to the airport was included only to find out this is only the case if you made reservations through the hotel directly and not through Hotels.com. We had to pay for a ride.
