Excelente hotel

Excelente hotel, confortável e limpo. O serviço de quarto é muito bom e os funcionários do hotel muito atenciosos. O restaurante e a lanchonete que tem no hotel são bons, mas um pouco caras. Compensa comprar o copo refil para bebidas.

Proximity to Epic Universe is amazing, but if you want to go anywhere else (other parks, restaurants, bars) it's pretty isolated. Rooms were just ok, with budget linens and furnishings, and if you don't have a park view you might as well be staying on a highway interchange.

Quite a way from City Walk and traditional Universal Parks. Clearly made for Epic which was not available during my visit so it made visiting the other parks and city walk an extra bit of effort. Certainly new & clean which was great.

I wanted to share a bit about my recent two-day trip to Stella Nova. The highlight for me was definitely the view from my room. I had a fantastic vantage point of the Epic theme park, which was truly a sight to behold. As for the food, it was just okay. I tried the very cheesy Mac and cheese, but it didn't quite hit the mark as it wasn't really cheesy. I did visit the market café there, which is essentially a Starbucks. However, I found that they only offered a limited Starbucks menu, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a mixed experience, but I definitely enjoyed the theme park view from my room at 9th floor.

Hotel has a really cool looking exterior...everything new and shiny. We all loved the convenience of walking to Epic Universe...and extremely short bus ride if bus wait lines are short. Highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable, "don't break your budget", easy Epic access type family experience!
