“This property strikes me as a solid choice for families focused on park visits; the location is undeniably prime, right across from Universal Orlando, and the free shuttles are a welcome perk. I think the renovated lobby and on-site dining, including the Indian café, add convenience, although some services have inconsistent hours.
