average stay, some issues
increased deposit no spending options
the location was convenient near the attraction, a helpful shuttle being available.
The incidental deposit increased unexpectedly to $100. I don't have a car, and there was nowhere to spend that money at the hotel because the restaurant was closed for lunch and dinner. this policy impacted my overall satisfaction .

great advantage hotel location damp smell unclean furniture
The hotel location is near the park. It took about five minutes to walk there. The visit was overall good, especially with the Universal Studios visit. This was a great advantage.
The room was not clean, the furniture was not clean either. There was a damp smell in the room. This affected my overall impression of the stay.

Okay Location, Some Disappointing Aspects
restaurant closure expensive breakfast
We encountered a few issues. The hotel restaurant and bar was closed for three days because of a wedding. It forced us to use a corridor of curtains to enter the building and only allowed access to the lifts. Breakfast was outside, but the weather was cold and rainy. My breakfast included a piece of toast and it cost USD140.
