Sheraton Universal Hotel

Sheraton Universal Hotel

8/10 Good
"We like the hotel location and have stayed here twice. The pool area and main floor were nice because we didn’t have rooms across from us. So, we found it quieter. Rooms are small for 4 people as they are narrow, but does the job. We’ll be back"
