9/10 Wonderful! (1,023 reviews)
A great location, right next to the train station, Universal Studios and many shopping/dining options. Room was comfortable and clean. Buffet breakfasts were nice. The only downside was a small self laundry area where there was a lot of waiting to use machines in the evening.

MONday absolutely met all of our family’s needs! After our long flight and long days of sightseeing, we were always looking forward to coming back to the friendly staff, the clean room, high-tech and clean in-room amenities! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

8.4/10 Very Good! (61 reviews)
They don't include regular room service and the size of the room was too small. It's not a bad hotel, but the location is not the best.

Palace grounds closed to visitors due to New Years holidays. Visited the park outside only.

Get there by nine to get one of the limited tickets to go inside the palace, but you can always walk the grounds for free.
