"Marina who works at the in pool area is awesome. She is so funny and talkative. She also makes amazing drinks. Overall stay was good. I know check in isn’t until 4:00, we got there early we had tickets for universal studios horror nights with entry time at 2:00. We were able to get into a room at 1:30 which was nice but it would have been nice if we could have got in earlier. Again I understand we were early. When we got into our room house keeping knocked on the door and opened the door before we could get to it. The room was nice, facility was nice and clean. The buffet had a great selection of food. Servers were very nice and helpful. The tram to universal studios is a big plus but it’s only a quick walk over. Will stay again."
