"Great place to stay with kids. Housekeeping refreshed my room everyday. The food was ok, but not worth the money they charged. You must have a rental car, there’s a lot of things to d around. restaurant and fast food if you don’t want to dine in, 3-4 miles away. Volcano bay water park is a walking distance, shuttle buses to Universal Studios. Overhauled, we had a great time. We will return."
