We went there from January 14-16. My daughter and I wanted to stay close to Universal Studios for our long weekend getaway.
I mentioned when I reserved for the room that we will be arriving late, so when we got to the reception there was Pancho forgot his last name. He seemed like he had a long day because he was in a hurry to get us checked in. I asked him if he could give us a nice view since it was our first time... he said yes yes.. when we got up to the 11th floor ... it turned out we got the freeway view.. not very nice. He spoke so fast, at 8pm.. after a long day of traveling, you cannot comprehend everything he is saying. Then I said until what time does the tram run.. he quickly replied..9 pm..
The night before I got an email from Chris Murdoch and he cc'd the other managers stating that if there is anything I need to notify them. I emailed the managers and I got a quick response from Sam. She was quick enough to take care of me and my daughter.
I have stayed at Sheraton Anaheim, Sheraton Norfolk, other Sheraton properties and I must say you have an excellent staff.. esp Sam. except for Pancho.
The other plus is the fact that the tram drops you off at the City Walk away from all the crowds. You have your own drop off spot.
The breakfast buffet was excellent as well. Breakfast staff are excellent service as well.
I highly recommend staying at Sheraton Universal.
Thank you so much to everyone and especially to Sherry "Sam"

Dear Maritez-
Thank you very much for sharing your comments and feedback from your recent stay. This morning the management team recognized Sam for her efforts and shared with her your comments. I'll make sure to also share your praise with the restaurant staff as well. My apologies that upon check-in the Front Desk staff seemed so rushed and in a hurry. I'll remind them to slow down and ensure they fully explain all the hotel features. I understand after a long day of travel it can be difficult to take it all in so quickly. It sounds like you and your daughter had a great time at Universal and enjoyed the convenience of the complimentary shuttle. Make sure to come visit us again this summer after the new Transformers ride opens at Universal Studios!
Thanks again!
Randy Player
General Manager
