Great stay. Room was clean and spacious (we had a King room on 5th floor), the door let in quite a lot of corridor noise, but didn’t bother us too much as we were at the end of corridor. Easy 25min walk to Universal CityWalk, and 15 min walk to Premium Outlets. Good breakfast with lots of choice and wasn’t too busy when we were there. Staff on reception were friendly and efficient. Free parking and breakfast were the reason we booked this and didn’t disappoint. Would definitely stay here again.
