Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience, especially due to its unbeatable location right outside Universal Studios. The rooms were impressively spacious, providing a great view of the park. The service was helpful for the most part, though there were a few hiccups during our stay. On the downside, the internet was disappointingly slow and felt a bit outdated overall. However, this hotel is definitely worth considering for its convenience and family-friendly features.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at the Park Front Hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean with an incredible view of the park, but the service at the front desk was below expectations. The location was definitely a highlight as it was conveniently close to USJ, making it easy to get there before the crowds. The dining options were varied, although the breakfast service could use some improvement due to long wait times.

The hotel is perfectly situated right by Universal Studios, making it super convenient for a fun day at the park. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, could use a bit more space.

Overall, it's a good value for the price and perfect for a family visit to the theme park.
