The resort also boasts a fabulous fitness centre where guests are treated to state-of-the-art machines for the ultimate workout. And what’s a stay at a Universal Resort without taking home some merchandise to show for it? Well, luckily both sites also come with their very own Universal Studios store located in the lobby for all your souvenir needs.
