decent stay near universal

spacious roomclean roomshuttle servicelow water pressurethin towel
The room was spacious and clean (i was happy with the size). the hotel offers a shuttle service to universal studios. It was convenient. the gift shop provided a large variety of items.
The water pressure in the shower was low. It was hard to rinse off. the towels were thin (i prefer thicker towels). I often had to wait.

i found the location to be very convenient for visiting nearby attractions. the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle to universal studios. the on-site starbucks was also a nice touch. i liked having access to quick coffee in the morning.
i noticed the parking fee was quite high at $35 per night. this added a significant cost to my stay.
