The property is in need of a renovation but will make do for a short stay. My wife and I have been staying here for years when we visit Universal and have witnessed the properties decline. Molding dirty, some furnishings in disrepair. The positives are location is great. Personnel very helpful and friendly. Parking is usually not an issue. If you are on a budget this property is a win.
