Don't hesitate to stay here, it's great!
The Hyatt house is a new hotel, therefore everything is updated, clean and comfortable. What a nice change when staying at a hotel. The beds were very comfortable (well the sofa bed could use improvement, but those things never seem comfortable). Plenty of pillows, and a change of sheets in the closet.
Upon entering, I really liked the decor. It has a relaxing clean updated look. We were pleasantly greeted by the front desk and they were very informative.
The pool area is awesome! It was chilly outside, therefore they heated the pool. Our son loved it. It's a large pool, surrounded by a fire pit area with seating, and an indoor/outdoor bar. Very nice outside atmosphere.
We had an issue one evening...my son left his new Adidas shoes at the pool. In the morning we were set to go to Universal, but his shoes were gone! We checked with the front desk and housekeeping - no shoes! We were so bummed. We had to skip the shuttle bus to the park and instead find a place to buy shoes. Thank goodness, there was a large outlet right around the corner! We get some shoes and go to Universal. Upon our return, we checked in with the front desk and were excited to hear that they found the shoes!!! Nice job Hyatt House.
In the back of the hotel there Is a universal employee that sells tickets to only the Universal parks (no Disney). This is also where you sign up for the universal shuttle bus (it does get full, so make a reservation a day or so ahead). If you miss it, you can catch an Uber to the park- cost was less than $8.00 as the park is right across the street.
Our room had a divided area, this was nice for privacy. The room also had 2 TVs! Before entering the bathroom, there's a built in dresser area which came in handy for suitcases - nice touch!
Oh, the breakfast! We were impressed with the options, and they change daily! Bacon, turkey and pork sausage, waffles, sweet breads, cereals, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, bagels, breads, potatoes, oatmeal, yogurt....etc, etc, etc. I agree with another reviewer that the eggs aren't great, but it definitely hits the spot (no running around finding breakfast restaurants), and its included in your stay.
One unexpected thing to note was that the breakfast area was huge, no worries that you won't find a place to sit. Very comfortable - light and airy.
We would definitely stay there again! No hesitations in recommending the Hyatt Place!
