8.8/10 Excellent! (1,085 reviews)

★★★★★ Outstanding Stay – Highly Recommended! My stay at this hotel was absolutely spectacular. The hotel is extremely comfortable, well-maintained, and perfectly located. Everything is close by, with many great dining options within walking distance, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Transportation to the theme parks is very convenient, with shuttles running constantly, making it easy and stress-free to get around. The staff truly deserves five stars. Everyone was professional, friendly, and attentive—from the front desk team to the housekeeping staff. I would especially like to mention a very kind Venezuelan lady with gray hair who takes care of the lobby restrooms. Unfortunately, I don’t remember her name, but she was always incredibly attentive and kept the bathrooms spotless at all times. Her dedication and warmth truly stood out. Overall, this hotel exceeded all my expectations. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, excellent service, and a great location.

This was my family's second trip from Illinois to Universal Studios to ride the new Hagrid ride, and 6th time visiting the park for the sole purpose of riding this "new" ride. EVERY time the ride was broken down. I have waited more than 5 hours of my life in line waiting for this ride and still have not ridden. I've been to the Disney parks countless times and if a ride is broken, it is always fixed very quickly. That is it for me and Universal. I will never darken their doorstep again. Incredibly disappointing!

3/5 - Okay

too crowded. 7-year-old grandchild over-tired and stressed after 4-hours of long waits.

The Blue Man group is a must to watch

Great day as it rained earlier and off season so we had little or no issues getting on rides. Food offerings were much better than Disney and you can grab a beer or drink if so desired. Much less strollers and wheelchairs and scooters too.

4/5 - Good

The Hagrid ride schedule is all over the place--they usually open it at noon, but we got on it our first day at 10:30 after a 55 minute wait (NOTE: no Express Pass accepted). The next day people were lined up at 8:00, but ride only allowed boarding ride at 3:00, then abruptly cancelled for the day without ever leaving the loading area, supposedly due to wet weather. People who had been in line off-and-on nearly all day were understandably fuming.
