It was a very nice stay. The staff were friendly. My suite was ready before 4 o clock check in time which I was grateful for that. The room looks nice and clean but then I found a balloon under the bed. 🤔Breakfast you have to pay for. Other than that I enjoyed my stay there.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The hospitality was absolutely phenomenal! Every single staff member went above and beyond to help and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay. The highlight of our trip was waking up early to watch the breathtaking sunrise from our theme park view room. It was such a magical and unforgettable experience that made our stay even more special. We can’t wait to come back!

Hotel is beautiful, but it is overpriced. There is nothing included, $400 a night for a queen bed and an uncomfortable bunk bed. Room is small. But bathroom is very clean and nice. Food is okay, breakfast is pricey. Breakfast quality and taste could be much better for what we paid.

Was very surprised they had no cartoon characters in the hotel for the kids, no props for families to take photos and not even a schedule of amenities offer by the hotel that was kid friendly, like story time, art n craft, breakfast with characters nothing. Just a kiddie pool and one cafe, not even a restaurant on site! and the hotel is decorated nice. That’s all definitely not worth $424 a night. Please do better.

The experience was half good half bad. First night woke up with blood on one of the pillows flipped over so noticed following day. A bed bug was also seen on the same bed. Got moved to a new room still not happy. Overall, the cleanliness is not good. That following night a kid threw up in the pool and everyone was out about 30mins which I thought was disgusting and allowed back in. My kids didn't get to swim cause I wasn't going to risk the kids get a virus. Need more pools. Sucks cause it was 105 degrees they would've enjoyed it. Gates are not working.

We were so excited to visit the new Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, but it ended up being a massive waste of money. The entire experience felt like a cash grab full of technical difficulties and hidden catches. ​1. The Wristband Deception (Hidden Fees) When booking, they advertise "free wristbands" if you plan your stay or packages around certain promotions. What they don’t state upfront is that these wristbands only grant you basic entry into the gates of the park. You cannot actually use any of the rides or major attractions with them unless you pay extra. It is incredibly misleading. ​2. Broken Rides & Technical Difficulties For a brand-new place, the tech issues are unacceptable. A significant portion of the rides were completely broken or shut down during our stay. We spent a fortune just to stare at "out of order" signs. ​3. The $400 Hotel Room Was a Letdown We paid $400 a night to stay at the on-site resort hotel, expecting a premium experience. Instead, our room's shower didn’t even work. The resort also completely miscalculated the pool area—it is way too small for the number of guests staying there, making it overcrowded and unusable. ​4. Absurd Pricing & Food/Snack Bans The pricing here is sky-high for everyone. Plushies in the gift shop will run you $30, $40, $50, and even up to $65 for a single stuffed animal. To make it worse, you are strictly banned from bringing in your own outside snacks or food, forcing you to pay their inflated prices. ​5. The Beverage Mac

I had a great stay! Since the hotel is still new, the room felt fresh and spotless. Everything looked brand new and was well maintained. The room was simple, clean, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay with .y children. I honestly didn't have any complaints. If you're looking for a clean, modern place to stay, this is a great choice.

el hotel está muy lindo pero es bien chiquito cuando los niños salen del parque en la noche no hay nada que hacer , la piscina es bien chuiquita que se llena demasiado y el día que tenía la entrada estaba cerrada ya de tanta insistencia los clientes en el lobby la tuvieron que abrir cómo a las 8:00 pm . La comida muy bien elaborada y aceptable . Es bueno quedarse ya que entras una hora antes al parque y puedes montar sin cola y la temperatura bien agradable porque en la tarde se pone bien caliente . Muy bonito el parque pero para niños de 2 a 9 años .
