Cons (-) There was a mildew smell in our room. I was walking around barefoot and there were several large wet spots on the carpet. Really gross. So that explained the smell. We were in too big of a rush to get to our event to be able to request a different room.

Pros (+) Universal early entry and express passes are invaluable. Spotless hotel and pecable staff. Room clean but small (then again you are only in to a very short time).
Cons (-) Parking $23 + tax per day or $29 plus tax valet parking. Priced cleverly so you will opt for valet. Either way this cost is just a way of adding $ to your bill. Make sure you factor in an extra $58 plus tax per overnight stay. As long as you know to account for it when booking then it's more palatable.

Pros (+) We loved everything about it. Rooms were spacious and very clean. It was so close to the parks.
Cons (-) The hotel restaurant the kitchen had very slow service. That could be because we were a party of 9 though. Food was very good though.
