I wanted a more relaxed experience for the attractions, so I bought a 1.5-day ticket and booked a Universal partner hotel, which allowed early entry to the park. I debated between two hotels for a long time, but considering I was a single parent with two sons and convenience was key, I ultimately chose Universal. It proved to be a very wise decision.
First off, I booked a Deluxe Twin Room, and upon check-in, the friendly front desk staff (I think his name was Gaoyuan or Gaoyang, sorry I didn't catch it!) proactively upgraded us to a Boulevard View Room on the sixth floor, from which we could see CityWalk – I was thrilled.
The room wasn't huge, but we spent most of our time at Universal anyway. A large, clean bed was all we needed. Toiletries and slippers were all provided, and there were about ten bottles of mineral water, definitely more than enough, which was a thoughtful touch.
What I loved most was the direct access to the park from downstairs. When we were tired, we just headed back to the room. The unlimited in-and-out access was a lifesaver for our tired legs – in a word, blissful (just look at the map, the hotel *is* the park entrance!).
Finally, I have to commend every staff member at the Universal hotel. I took a taxi both ways, and the doormen proactively helped with our luggage and got it into the car. They even called to ask about our stay. Honestly, the service was better than some five-star hotels costing over two thousand yuan where I've stayed in Wangfujing! 👍🏻
It was a very enjoyable and memorable trip. The kids were reluctant to leave, and we'll definitely choose Universal again next time.
