Acceptable Location, Notable Disappointments
excellent locationrude stafffalse advertising
The hotel has an excellent location. It is really close to Universal Studios.
I found the tv remote control had a Netflix button, but Netflix was NOT available on the tv. This was like false advertising. Breakfast restaurant staff were rude. They threw out my baby's milk, which upset me. The channels on the TV repeated the same movie over and over again. That was frustrating.
