The Epic Universe Hotel

This is the budget friendly epic universe hotel. Early entry. The hotel feels like you are undersea or on a submarine. The AC was amazing. The food service in the lobby was good. The staff was friendly, and you can walk to the park in 5 to 10 mins depending on when you catch the traffic light for crossing the street.

Amazing theming. Good food available onsite. Staff was great. The pool area was well maintained and was large enough to not feel overcrowded even when lots of people were there. The only negative thing is that the room is small and doesn't have a lot of storage space or a microwave, but if you plan on spending most of your time at the parks, it's not a big deal.

Very disappointing stay — misleading amenities and broken promises I had a frustrating and disappointing experience at the Stella Nova Hotel. The room was missing several amenities that were clearly advertised on their website. Despite multiple requests and being assured repeatedly that the issues were being addressed, nothing was ever delivered or resolved. As a gesture of apology, the staff promised to waive our parking fees—yet those charges still appeared on the final bill. To make matters worse, the hotel charges $30 per day for parking, even for guests. Sadly, the experience did not live up to expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless major improvements are made.

5/5 Amazing Stay at Stella Nova Resort! Our stay at Stella Nova Resort in Universal Orlando was absolutely fantastic! The hotel was super clean, modern, and beautiful maintained. From the moment we arrived, the Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcomed!! One of the best parts was the location: just across the street from Epic Universe, which made getting to the park a breeze, even though they have shuttle buses to all Universal Park including Epic. Highly recommend this resort.
