"Ate on property for breakfast and it was delicious. About $100 for 3 of us with gratuity already included. We arrived before 4 and the front desk took our info and put us on a text list if the room was ready sooner. The shuttle to universal was so appreciated. It had been years since last visiting and forgot how hilly it is. Ran about every 15 minutes and until close of the park. Staff here were wonderful and we would definitely stay again. Would note that anyone traveling who hasn’t made reservations for airports Flying in to Burbank is much closer. Was about $100 to uber from LAX with dynamic pricing vs 30."

"Room was nice and clean. Comfy pillows and bed, plenty of lighting, lots of storage options. Easy to use thermostat, so the temperature was always perfect. Majority of the staff I interacted with were very friendly, especially the lady working the restaurant & bar in the evenings. Food at the restaurant is actually delicious, so I'm a bit shocked that the hotel doesn't promote it more. No menus online, no reviews. A shame, because their cook is doing a fantastic job. I had the salmon, and it was fantastic. Can't comment on the breakfast, as I generally skip it. One other criticism: there is no signage or information about where guest drop-off/pick-up should be. You'd think it'd be right in front of the hotel's main entrance, but this is apparently a "non-loading zone." The lady at the front desk came outside and yelled at us as we were getting into our Uber. I saw multiple guests picking up/dropping off here during my stay, so it didn't occur to me that this was not allowed. And if this is indeed a no stopping zone, I guarantee that their airport shuttle, which stops in the same exact spot, isn't following the law either. Management needs to figure out a way to indicate where drop-off/pick-up should occur: post signage outside, place the information on the hotel's website, inform guests when they check in. Be proactive so we can safely arrive/depart. Overall though, I had a very good stay. Shoutout again to housekeeping and restaurant staff. They deserve raises."
