"Seeing that this hotel is themed in the 50's and 60's time era I did not think I would be a fan, but it was the most reasonably priced one out of all the Universal Resorts so I gave it a shot. I am so happy I did! The atmosphere was wonderful! with the dining room playing old commercials to the music, there is also an ice cream shop. They have the biggest gym and arcade I have ever seen in a hotel, they also had character visits in the lobby and a good size souvenir store. The hotel had plenty of choices for dinner and breakfast, the portion sizes of meals were good size. The staff from the front desk, to housekeeping and storing our baggage were all super friendly! I liked the walking distance to Volcano Bay. The shuttles to the parks and City Walk were consistent and convenient. My only suggestion to the hotel would be that when housekeeping is doing their daily turndown service is to check the levels of the conditioner and shampoo as we ran out on day two. The hotel is not in walking distance to any stores which you can pretty much get anything in their souvenir shop or food area but be prepared to pay. Early admission to the parks was definitely a plus. My two grown boys who are 18 and 25 really enjoyed the hotel and we would definitely stay there again!"
