A hotel full of nothing but inconveniences

Hyun K on Jan 11, 2025

My family spent the whole day at Universal Studios, and around 8 PM, we returned to the hotel to rest. The toilet was broken, and the dog in the next room kept barking nonstop. I called the front desk to request a room change, but they said there were no available rooms. The plumber couldn’t fix the toilet and said he would bring parts but never returned. I called the front desk multiple times, but every time a different person answered, so I had to explain the situation again and again. I couldn’t use the bathroom while waiting for the plumber, and I couldn’t rest either. I was so exhausted that I thought it would be better to find another hotel, so I asked for a refund. Only then did they finally offer to change my room. Even then, the dog in the neighboring room continued barking without stopping. I was moved to a new room at 11 PM. Is it reasonable to wait for the toilet to be fixed for three hours? The customer service at this high-end hotel, which costs nearly $900 a night, was awful

Location isn’t everything….

wags2911 (United Kingdom) on Jan 10, 2025

I’m writing this review whilst still staying at this hotel. First off, the positivity, superb location for the parks. Literally 5 minute walk from the back gate to universal studios. Hotel is very clean. Rooms are also very clean. Housekeeping is very accommodating if you wish to have a lay in bed later they will clean the room later on. We are staying in room 7089 which is a club room. I don’t think the club room is worth the extra cost. The food you receive is ok. Nothing special. That’s if you can fight your way through the crowds of children surrounding the buffet area. The negative……we were told upon check in that there are building works happening between 9-5pm daily on the floor below. This wasn’t advertised when booking our stay. The noise is absolutely dreadful. Major drilling for hours on end. Came home from the parks one afternoon to find there was no running water for 4 hours. We asked reception why we weren’t told and we were just told that the receptionist at check in should have given us a piece of paper to explain the times when the water is off. This is really poor for a hotel chain like this. We’ve paid just over $4000 for this stay and the only benefit of this hotel is having the express pass. Otherwise, it’s probably more worth while to stay on Idrive and say 50% on your costs.
