Pros: The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were spacious, and you felt safe.
Cons: I made some recommendations when I made my reservation. We had three rooms and were told we were in the West wing close to the transportation, we ended up on the east wing as far away from the transportation as possible. They didn't do anything to rectify the problem, just told me that it was on the reservation but the rooms were full.

Cons:

Pros: Great location, with included Express Passes. Hotel overall was excellent.
Cons: The rooms needed some maintenance, and I cannot be the first ones to notice it. There was mildew in the shower on the ceiling that needed to be bleached. The shower leaked into the bathroom, because the original construction did not properly angle the tile to make the water drain back into the shower. The sink stopper did not stay plugged. The phone in the room did not work. Again, I cannot be the first person to notice all these. Why have they not been addressed?
5.7 OK
Pros: Proximity to park
Friendly and helpful frontline staff
Cons: Found out the pool was closed for planned renovations only upon our check in. No previous notice.
Kayak package didn't include park tickets; buying a cheaper package thru Kayak does not include everything that buying through Universal does
TV in room didn't work. Had to complain twice and have twonvisit from engineering. After long day at parks (great days) disappointing to not be able to just relax by pool or in room

Pros: This hotel is super convenient for visiting the universal parks. Your room key is your express pass, which is a huge a bonus. Rooms size was decent and has keurig and mini fridge. Beautiful grounds, nice pool, friendly staff.
Cons: The beds/pillows are not very comfortable.
While the pool area is nice, I wish there were a second “quiet,” or adult pool with additional hot tub. This hotel certainly caters to families, but not everyone has kids, and something less chaotic for relaxing would have been nice.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Great location, the staff is fantastic!
Cons: I had a wet spot on my carpet and found a hair on a "clean" towel. I think this was probably because they were so busy due to it being Christmas, because I've stayed here twice before and never experienced issues before. Still disappointing though, for the price you pay to stay here, you don't expect any snags.
9.7 Excellent
Pros: Lobby and Christmas spirit. Orchids and overall ambient . Water taxi not needed to drive and parking. Breakfast service. Exelent dinner at hotel restaurants. Very friendly staff.
Cons: Room gray colors. Like in a funeral home. It may be trendy, but not pleasant at all.Window view from Tower 2 shows a really neclected landscaping, which is incomprehensible in such nice otherwise hotel.
8.8 Excellent
Pros:
Cons: 1,000 rooms hotel , difficult personal service, long phone waiting time for answering by operators, etc
6.8 Good
Pros: Location, public areas (decor and ambience), Express Passes for the parks.
Cons: New bedroom decor is a disaster. Feels like a 70s nightmare and cheapens what used to feel like a luxury hotel. Same goes for the corridors leading to the rooms. The building of the Saphire Falls also ruins the outlook of the hotel. It used to feel like an idyllic South Pacific getaway. Now the view reminds you that you're just in another hotel block, so that special feel has gone. Lastly, charging to park in the hotel car park? Really? That really is fleecing your guests. over the years I've stayed at this hotel probably half a dozen times. I won't be back unless things change.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Fortunately we were able to get a last minute reservation which turned out fantastic . Convenient, clean, helpful. Staff was very friendly. Included fast pass definitely compensates. Safety measures taken with hotel key iD's gave further comfort.

9.1 Excellent
Pros: We really enjoyed the pools, lazy river, movie on the lawn, bowling, and the food. We love it!
Cons: It's a bit pricey, but not terrible.
8.2 Excellent
Pros:
Cons: Overall this was a great place! I was disappointed that our rooms were not cleaned until 5:00 pm. We came back from the park to take a dip in the pool before dinner and housekeeping was still in our room at 5:00. Very late in my opinion.
8.5 Excellent
Pros: Food court & pool lazy river
Cons: Small rooms
9.7 Excellent
Pros: We loved the resort and room decor, cleanliness, friendly staff, fun pool with water slide and lazy river, and the suite was set up perfect for getting ready with three kids (separate shower/toilet/sink and mirror). It was in an excellent location with easy access to the Universal parks. Shuttle was quick and easy. Our teens (18, 17 and 13) LOVED Cabana Bay!
Cons:
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Very convenient location with shuttle e bus to the parks. Clean nice room, has everything you need for the stay, yet sleek and affordable. Love the retro look! Cant be happier!
Cons:
10.0 Excellent
Pros: We thought beds were very comfortable. Free Upgrade was great! Theme was fun and details were impressive.
Cons: Room furniture needed a little TLC. Nothing that upholstery cleaners couldn’t fix. But all in all very comfortable and spacious! Would definitely recommend and return.
9.4 Excellent
Pros: While not the most elegant place to stay it is a great value if you want to stay on Universal property. Early admission and bus transport to park made All the difference in our Harry Potter experience! And the cafeteria had very well prepared food (and large portions) for breakfast/dinner at a reasonable price. Important for us as my husband has to watch diet due to diabetes.
Cons:
2.0 Mediocre
Pros: It’s was close to universal
Cons: They put us in the wrong room when we asked and paid for a room with a view of Volcano Bay. Then we moved to another room and the TV was broken. We called them several times but the TV remained broken. The place has no proper restaurants. Only a diner/supermarket kids place. We were very dissatisfied
10.0 Excellent
Pros: We will be back! This hotel is really cool and convenient. It was sold out while we were there, but the way it's laid out, it doesn't feel as though there are people everywhere. Lots to do, always clean, shuttle service to the parks was awesome. Truly a great experience!
Cons:
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Fun theming especially for baby boomers. I would rate the hotel as slightly above a Disney value resort with the theming, facilities and location/ transportation all just a little better.
Cons: The location is not very convient to the parks and transportation was good but like any bus system there was a wait. With such high traffic roads I can see why walking is not a good option. All in all if staying in site again I would make a different choice.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Love the fact they have life guards at the lazy river and pools!!!
Cons:

Pros:
Cons: We went to breakfast and talked with friends until 12:30 or 1:00 and were charged a second day for parking!!!!!!!!!

Love the décor and details at the hotel. My puppy, who came along for the trip received a welcome bag which included a very cute Hard Rock dog bowl.
We would have loved to stay there more days since it was so comfortable and felt safe. The ease of getting to City Walk be that by boat, or walking was awesome! Also, for being guests at the hotel, we received complimentary Express Pass to both Island of Adventure and Universal. That was neat!

Room clean but small (then again you are only in to a very short time).
Cons: Parking $23 + tax per day or $29 plus tax valet parking.
Priced cleverly so you will opt for valet.
Either way this cost is just a way of adding $ to your bill. Make sure you factor in an extra $58 plus tax per overnight stay. As long as you know to account for it when booking then it's more palatable.

Pros: We loved everything about it. Rooms were spacious and very clean. It was so close to the parks.

Cons: The only bad thing was Housekeeping...timing housekeeping to clean the room so it wouldn't cause a scene (barking, making the dog nervous) with our puppy was rough. We had come back from the parks and would wait up to 2 hours before we left for dinner. I called housekeeping to come in and clean the room, telling them that I will be out within the next 2 hours, so if they could send someone ASAP so we are with the puppy be that in the room or outside of it (the puppy would stay in the room while we would be out on dinner). No one ever came to turn our room over and we called front desk several times and waited the 2 hours. I guess housekeeping was MIA. So during our stay, we never got fresh towels and our beds was never made.
Things could be worse though.

Pros:
Cons: There was a mildew smell in our room. I was walking around barefoot and there were several large wet spots on the carpet. Really gross. So that explained the smell. We were in too big of a rush to get to our event to be able to request a different room.

A list or notification of additional amenities would have been nice. Had no idea there was laundry available.
Better explanation or notification of additional charges would be nice. There was a hefty damage deposit charge that was not made clear until check in. There is also an almost $12 a day "resort fee" that was never mentioned until charged at checkout and never explained as to what it was for.
Wifi was extremely slow.

Pros: The beds were very comfortable. It was close and easy to get to from Universal Studios. Breakfast was great.
Cons: Our room was next to the pool. Not noisy but the lights came in under the curtains.
I was disappointed that there was no fridge or microwave. I have used Fairfield Inns Denver Airport for years for my scrapbook retreats and the rooms were always had both which make it very convenient for guests.

Pros:
Cons: The hotel was fine but when we arrived there the hotel didnt have the reservations we made on the kayak page in their system so we had to wait for over an hour and we were really tired of the trip so we had to wait until they called kayak so they can confirm that we made the reservation days earlier and that we already paid for our stay.

Cons: The only thing we didn't like was that although there is an UNO Express on site, they don't have deep dish pizzas available. It doesn't sound like that big a deal, but when Orlando is the closest place for us to find an UNO it would have been nice to get a deep dish pizza after a long day at the parks without having to drive out to International Drive.

Cons: The only downside was that I think the cleaning lady kind of missed a very crucial spot in the bathroom. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a mysterious yet mortifying brown smudge behind the toilet handle when we arrived and took a look in the bathroom. I cleaned it myself and didn't notify the staff. I'm sure it was just a misfortunate accidental incident. Besides that the hotel was more than substantial.

Pros: Was close to Universal Studios and had a shuttle to and from the park.
Cons: There were tiny bugs all over the stand in our room, had to get a new room. The lady at the counter was trying to say it was out fault that if we left something out that could happen and we didn't leave anything out. Shouldn't be bugs in a room to begin with !
