The best reason to stay at Stella Nova is being able to walk to Epic everyday! We loved the easy access to the Universal buses which were always clean and on time. The resort was nice and clean, hot showers and clean linens. We spent one day at the pool (a little cold) but the hot tub was nice. I wish there was more shade outside around the pool deck. Rooms are great but the coffee makers are the cheap kind with flat packets of coffee. You'd think in a resort it would be nicer quality. The coffee shop is very expensive and had very long lines in the morning. The on site restaurant was good quality and pretty fast but also very expensive. $20 for a plate of spaghetti but the portions were large. I was told the specials are always the same so don't plan to eat there more than once or twice. My only real complaint is the $30 per day parking charge that I was not expecting.

The room was great and the staff were super friendly. The walls are a little thin, so you can hear the hallway and the room next door at times, but most guests tend to turn in early so it was not too disruptive. Housekeeping came twice a day, which was a nice touch. It is about an eight minute walk to Epic Universe, which is incredibly convenient, and the bus service to the other parks is generally very efficient. We will definitely be back.
