Excellent location for Universal theme parks along with views from higher floors specially Well maintained and clean Hilton property. Mixed feedback on staff, certainly a population of the staff are courteous, helpful. But during check in.. “is this your first Hilton stay” was not something felt welcoming as a response to the question why do I need to provide the credit card again when i did everything using app including the credit card details and selecting the room. First impression could have been better after. And ofcourse a sales speech during check out was not appreciated while hurrying for catching the flight.
