I love that the walk from Stella nova to epic gave such an anaheim/disneyland vibe. So looking forward to the park. Just turned 77 and nervous about the crowds but hope I get to experience this wonderful new attraction.
Yes!! I can’t believe we got to be the first people to ever stay in our hotel room at this amazing place!! Everything looks and smells brand new!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great review. It makes me want to go sometime. That walking path is a big plus. Good highlight on that. Interesting that the standard room faces the park & $136/night is a great price.
Yeah it’s weird that they did that! I head a “rumor” that they might be considering repricing or adding a level for room that have good views of epic universe - so FYI! (not all standard rooms have a view of the park).
Thank you for a great video, the hotel is even more beautiful than I thought it would be! I love the curved aesthetic of the lobby and the room is gorgeous, the attention to detail is amazing, apparently the honey chicken pizza is gorgeous, can't wait to see your Epic Universe vlog when the park finally opens, loved the vibe so I can onky imagine what day 1 at the park will be like 😊
I would like your opinion on this I think universal to at some point have hotels that have a full kitchen in some of the rooms in the future hotels that may happen it would be great for profit and for guests @@TheNobleWay
@krr7752 I believe you will start seeing some of those longer term and family options after Epic opens! The reason you don’t see them now is because many people view Universal as a day or weekend trip versus a week long vacation! As they expand and start becoming a week or longer “destination experience” you will see new hotels focused on providing service and value for longer stay individuals and families! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Counting down the days til Epic Universe opens! The hotel is really great- themed but not gaudy. To be so nice and affordable - Universal listens to what their guests want and they make it happen!
I think it’s amazing that they have added more budget friendly hotels! Sure some people don’t mind paying a ton of money but for many like myself - I would rather spend less on the hotel and more on the park experiences and food! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Are you able to get into the 20 minute parking without any kind of reservation? I just want to run in and buy some merch. 🎉 Also I saw several vids yesterday where people couldn't figure out those cool lights on the walls. Did you find a switch somewhere on the walls or the lights themselves? Thanks for the tour. Looks amazing! ❤🎉 - western NY Aimee
Yes you are - as long as you are there 20 mins or less you don’t pay - now for opening day it was permanently open due to so many people checking in - I assume that will change. As for the lights, yes there is a small switch on the right side of each light 👍🏼
Great video! 🙌🏻. Hotel looks amazing. Food pricing is not bad! 👌🏼. I wonder if Passholder still pay parking at the hotel? Since we don't pay at the parks. 🤔
People freaking out about the parking: here’s the deal. The hotel is CHEAP for what you get. $130 a night for the equivalent of a moderate resort at Disney ($250+). Ok. So add the parking in. $160 a night. That’s still INSANELY good price for the walking distance to Epic Universe in a BRAND NEW HOTEL! Come on folks. 😂🎉
Yes! And also many people will likely fly in and not have a car at all - you really don’t need one if you plan to stay at Universal your entire vacation. That’s what they want people to do similar to Disney - where people fly in and stay at Disney a week or more and use the free transportation! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Why is Starbucks the 1st choice of coffee shops in American theme parks? Is there no other coffee shop chains in America? Starbucks failed massively in Australia as it’s really bad coffee
@ I guess if ur brought up with bad coffee and sweet syrup drinks you don’t know any better. In Australia we are classed as coffee snobs as we love good quality and great tasting coffee. We have a rich culture with coffee from all our Italian and Greek immigrants from the 60s and 70s
Overall it looks pretty bland and boring, but I absolutely love the hotel room window. How cool is that, it reminds me of being on a cruise ship. Is it just me or does the pool area just look lame and not fun? I don't see any water slides or lazy rivers or pretty much anything to do other than a giant body of water
I agree I really don’t like parking charges! Of course I always have a car so I guess for people that don’t it’s good for them because they get a cheaper room versus it being forcibly included which is sort of what Disney does 😢
@theNobleWay 100% agree and I like that for people who come from out of state. I am in that weird middle group that can get the annual pass in Fl but I’m still out of town so I drive up. For me 137 is really budget where the extra 30 makes me take other things and places into consideration. What would make it better (imo) is if they did the same pass holder discount for the hotels. Even if they only did it when it’s not peak season would be understandable.
Is that really the case.... $30 a night for parking at the hotel? With that it makes it not worth it. I'd rather get a Disney hotel through dvc and have better room and free parking.
That’s not bad for parking for the value of the resort. Extremely nice rooms at low cost and right next to epic universe. Staying at Disney will put you a half hour away and you’ll lose your early park access. 🤷♂️. Hands down for the price, proximity, and perks… Stella nova. Hands down.
I love this channel. Watch it all the time. I’m absolutely addicted….. and I’m addicted for one reason and one reason only…. And it ain’t him.
Thanks for watching! 👍🏼
@ I’m watching right now

Yeah it’s super convenient and easy! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
thanks for the information about the walking path i am going to epic universe on june 5th and im most definitely heading over there at 4 am😂
Haha!! Yes!! You’ll be first in line!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
SO EPIC! New New New... never miss a NEW theme park or hotel like this. They are rare. Nice to get to see this!
Yes!! I can’t believe we got to be the first people to ever stay in our hotel room at this amazing place!! Everything looks and smells brand new!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I am staying there in 2 weeks. Don't think I will get the reception you guys got, but should be stellar none the less. Good video.
You will love it!! Hopefully it’s much warmer for you!! It was freezing outside!!
NICE Room!
It’s beautiful! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I don’t think I will never stay there. But it looks very very nice. Hope you had a great time there. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! It has been great! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing video!!!!!
Thank you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
So excited for Helios! Staying 4 nights!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

BOOM BABY
Yessss!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Let’s FN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s EPIC!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Good content. Never noticed until now, but you look like the adult version of the coaster studios guy.
Hi what were the restrooms in the lobby area like haven’t seen any of them
They were very nice and super clean! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great question! I’ll ask when I checkout - maybe I’ll save some money! 🤣
Although not shown in your video, I’m assuming there is a breakfast menu option at the hotel cafe as well??
Yes they do!! Thanks for pointing that out - I’ll try to get a copy of the menus and post pics here in the comments! 👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I added a post on my channel that has all the breakfast and dinner menus! Check it out! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Was Planet Claire playing in the background?
Did you get any information on if Stella Nova will have early access to Epic Universe?
Yes it does! I’m putting together a video right now actually that goes all through those details! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
@@TheNobleWay Thank you so much for the quick response. I look forward to watching your next video.
Now Grand Helios!

What happened to the Nighttime view of the Hotel?
Haha! Yeah I ended up publishing before it was dark out! I’ve got the videos now and will post them shortly! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I just added a post on my channel with a picture at night! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wish I could ride Starfall Racers with a special someone. 🥴
We just saw them testing it at night with the light on - it looks amazing!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Why is Starbucks the 1st choice of coffee shops in American theme parks?
Is there no other coffee shop chains in America?
Starbucks failed massively in Australia as it’s really bad coffee
Not sure! I’m not a fan of Starbucks myself but everyone seems to love it! 🙂
@
I guess if ur brought up with bad coffee and sweet syrup drinks you don’t know any better.
In Australia we are classed as coffee snobs as we love good quality and great tasting coffee. We have a rich culture with coffee from all our Italian and Greek immigrants from the 60s and 70s
so park your car at Walmart and uber to hotel
Haha! Yes that’s an option! Also, technically if you have an annual pass you could park at Universal and ride the bus over lol! 🤣
@@TheNobleWay could you park at universal for a week?
Ha! No they would definitely tow your car! 👍🏼🤣
Overall it looks pretty bland and boring, but I absolutely love the hotel room window. How cool is that, it reminds me of being on a cruise ship. Is it just me or does the pool area just look lame and not fun? I don't see any water slides or lazy rivers or pretty much anything to do other than a giant body of water
Yeah the pool is pretty standard - but I also have to keep saying to myself it’s a value hotel! 🤣
I hate that hotels are charging so much for parking and it’s not included in getting a room. That’s a 167 dollar room as far as I’m concerned.
I agree I really don’t like parking charges! Of course I always have a car so I guess for people that don’t it’s good for them because they get a cheaper room versus it being forcibly included which is sort of what Disney does 😢

when is terra luna opening?
It was supposed to open February 25, 2025 but got delayed a month so now it’s March 25, 2025! 👍🏼
Wow they are making sure they get their money back for sure $30 for parking Jesus
Is that really the case.... $30 a night for parking at the hotel? With that it makes it not worth it. I'd rather get a Disney hotel through dvc and have better room and free parking.
Yes! $30 a day for parking 😢
That’s insane. The other value resorts are 15-20 for parking. I think only the premier hotels go up to or past 30
What is it with parking costs in America in the UK we pay £10 max or it's free in some cases
@Edsthemeparks I don’t know - I hate high parking costs lol 🤣🤣🤣
That’s not bad for parking for the value of the resort. Extremely nice rooms at low cost and right next to epic universe. Staying at Disney will put you a half hour away and you’ll lose your early park access. 🤷♂️. Hands down for the price, proximity, and perks… Stella nova. Hands down.
What is going on...? 136 a night? What the what?
Right!!?? Crazy!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
