This area is beautiful and right outside the side door of the resort so you’ll still be close enough to go in and grab lunch. If you want to take a break from visiting the parks, you can spend some quiet time at the pool. He brought me shampoo and conditioner, asked if I needed anything else and then rolled back down the hall to get onto the elevator. Order towels, cups, or a toothbrush, and a few minutes later your phone rings and it’s Relay telling you he is outside your door with your items. Yes, they have a robot to bring you things! You simply go onto your iPad and select what you would like to be delivered. My favorite, and the most fun feature at the resort, was having items delivered to my room by Relay, the hotel’s robot. With this device you can control the lights, temperature, tv, order food, look over information on the parks, chat with the front desk, and more. You’ll find a technology theme throughout the resort. I enjoyed a gorgeous view of the parks from my skyline view room on the 10th floor and had a wonderful night’s sleep in the comfy bed. Hard floors and clean lines throughout the room make this the perfect tranquil retreat for a minimalist like myself. The guestrooms are simple, yet beautifully, decorated. You are dropped off at the Universal parking garage right by the escalators. The free shuttle to the parks is right out front and they depart every 20 minutes, although I do not think I ever waited more than 10 minutes for a bus. The front desk texted me later in the day to let me know my room was ready. I arrived early, my room was not quite ready, so they offered to hold my luggage so I could go straight to the parks. There is an Avis car rental desk, the Vacation Planning Center, Universal Studios store, and Urban Pantry.Ĭheck-in was a breeze and the staff was so friendly. It has a cool, sleek vibe and everything you need is right there in front of you. The lobby of the resort is so bright and open.
