Marcus Gullen - Avoid !

H7812WQjenniferf on Dec 06, 2024

We really enjoyed our stay, we met with Marcus Gullen and his expectant wife. We agreed to meet up but we found out afterwards they had blocked us both. Strange behaviour and certainly we won’t stay there again. They both seemed a nice couple but their odd behaviour has put us off. AVOID Marcus Gullen, what a strange couple. I would avoid there just to be in their company.

Hospitality and Locale Exceptional -- Rooms Need Major TLC

Dean F (San Antonio, Texas) on Dec 05, 2024

The exceptional service and location to the parks is what makes the stay -- period. The rooms (Deluxe Queen was our stay for 3-nights) is average to below-average at best. And given the rate per night the quality should be much better for what one pays. Furniture torn, no outlets would hold the plug (had to rig a solution to make it work) and the outlet in the bathroom kept tripping when the in-room hairdryer was plugged in. Couch looked like someone had taken scissors to it......management needs to invest in room renovations. Here is what does work -- the food at the pool bar & drinks were great. And the quality of service by David, Robert and Hoover made for a fun evening. Also the Velvet lounge had some of the coldest beers I've had in a long time; and good food. And we had fun hearing stories from "Skinny" who is a great bartender and hospitality worker. Breakfast in The Kitchen was also quite good. And the 5-min walk to Universal Studios and the room key allowing for Express Pass Line use was also a good benefit. Quick Note: Hagrid's Wild Ride is not an Express Pass so use Early Park admission to get over and ride. Took only 15-min to get on the ride by doing so -- and when we got off the wait had climbed to 80-minutes. Would I go back -- not until they significantly upgrade the rooms. But I must say the hospitality was exceptional by the staff and it made the stay magical. Rock on......
