Food was great, but very little options if you can't do dairy. I wish I was alerted that there was going to be a cheerleading competition at the hotel and the studio because they got very annoying at the pool and at universal. Nobody warned us the park was closing at 6 due to grad bash, and they did nothing for us after purchasing tickets full price for literally 3 hours of enjoyment. The person on phone told me I could check in and get my hotel room as early as I want which ended up being a lie and costing us a lot of time we could have saved. We checked in our bags than got the wrong bags which costed us more time later again and frustration. I think for how much you're paying these should be considered if you're booking a hotel with them, but hopefully they can improve upon it. Otherwise great stay and thank god for the included express pass otherwise we would haven't gotten on many rides in. Staff was very nice and helpful except for some of the baggage people.

You must stay at this hotel when you go to Universal Studios!!
The hotel room card is the Universal Express Pass, very affordable
The hotel is very large and the swimming pool is heated
There are buses and water taxis directly to Universal
Very convenient, equivalent to living in Universal
You can enter and exit the park many times a day

This hotel is very good, the rooms are large and clean, the scenery is picturesque, the Italian food in the hotel is very authentic, and the boat ride to Universal Studios is full of scenery. The only downside is that the bottled water provided in the room is charged, but there is no notice, and it is directly deducted from the hotel deposit. After negotiating with the hotel, the hotel refunded this part of the water fee. This is the only hotel in Orlando that does not provide free bottled water.

The hotel has a barge to and from Universal Studios, with convenient transportation. The hotel is currently under renovation, which affects the appearance of the facilities, and the service attitude of the dock staff is average. The hotel rooms are spacious and quiet, and the studio offers an Express Pass, which is convenient for rest and play.

A hotel with an Italian style, very beautiful, but the room facilities are very basic and simple. If it is for unlimited express, it is worth it. If you stay for one night, you can pre check in in the morning and go to play. You can also play until the park closes the next day. There are many restaurants in the hotel are also very convenient.
