I’m not sure you could find a place closer to Universal Studios unless you booked an expensive hotel room. We were able to easily make the walk to the Universal Shuttle in less than 10 min. Wouldn’t be worth it to drive in my opinion. The place was very clean and very nicely decorated. The bed definitely has a softer feel than a firmer feel. When we stayed, the mattress was a Tempur-Pedic with a Tempur-Pedic topper. Would highly recommend his place!
