I stayed here during a solo trip to Orlando back in 2010 and came back with my parents in April 2012. Location-wise The Hyatt Place Universal Orlando is located right across the street from the Universal Theme Parks. You could walk to them, but it's easier (and safer) to take the free shuttle, a taxi or drive. The Disney Parks... More

Stayed here one night in May 2012 after spending the day at Universal Theme Parks. Hotel was very close to Universal (5 mins) and had free parking which was a plus (other hotels in area charge for parking.) Staff at check in and check out was speedy and friendly. Hotel price was very reasonable especially after AAA discount. I was... More

We stayed at the Hyatt Place Universal in late October 2011, prior to driving to Miami for my destination wedding cruise. Every aspect of our two-night stay here was excellent. The lobby was beautiful & check in was a breeze. Staff were very friendly and helpful, as well as warm & welcoming. The rooms were beautiful decorated, clean, comfortable, and... More

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our 1st room was very moist and damp with a strong mildew odor coming from the air conditioner. A different room was much better, but there was still a bit of a damp & mildew smell. Internet connectivity was poor and the bathroom was beginning to show it's age.

Stayed one night here after a week at Disney. Typical Hyatt Place. Large room that easily accomodates 5. Tiny bathroom (door barely clears toilet.) Clean room except for the glasses and one of the bed covers (had someting smeared on it). Our room also had a very musty smell. Free breakfast with many options but very crowded on a busy... More

Convenient location, 15min walk to Universal Orlando or cab fee $5. Bed and pillow are comfortable. Staff are friendly but a couple of them were a bit less patient. The complementary breakfast are not bad. A TGI Friday restaurant is within 3 minutes walking distance and more restaurants and a drug/grocery store are in 10minutes walking distance (in front of...

Nice large rooms - very comfy beds. Pool area is small but nice and relaxing - wish they had a hot tub! Breakfast was bette rthan average and the free shuttles to Universal were handy. Front desk was very helpful with setting up cabs and other questions. Very clean and well run - we'll back!

We booked a hotel/ticket package wthough AAA and selected the Hyatt Place because of it's close proximity to Universal. (plus received early entry to IOA) While it is indeed just outside the gates - it would be a bit of a walk particularly after spending the day walking through the park. You would have to cross to large roads and... More

I stayed at the Hyatt Universal/Orlando for 7 days, and I had a spectacular experience here. From the outside it may not look like much, and it does appear to be isolated (but still within a short distance from all the attractions). The hotel staff are all extremely friendly, and not forcefully so, everyone seemed very genuine. The complimentary breakfast... More
