Working Remote from Universal Hotels

:Portofino:HOTELS

I need your advice to fuel my impulsive thoughts.

If I was to hypothetically book a hotel a week before and work remotely on a Friday to drive up to Universal, where would the best places in hotels be to work while I wait for my room?

Lobbies for sure. I saw a photo of someone working out of Sapphires Falls lobby waiting for Strongwater to open. But which hotels would be best? Trying to remember my experience at Cabana Bay and I don’t remember too many places with outlets to sit

The pool bar at Aventura has outlets.

I did a day of work like that in the lobby/dining area of Dockside a few months ago, so that’s the only Universal hotel I really know about for remote work. Overall, it was nice. There were a few booths that were relatively quiet (except during breakfast rush) and had outlets. They are in the dining area basically on the other side of the Starbucks wall. I also noticed several people working at the tables near-ish to the lobby bar, as they also had outlets. That said, my cell signal was relatively poor in the lobby.

My advice would be club level. You would have access day of checkin before your hotel is ready and (at least at portofino) there would be plenty of space and places to plug in.

Club level at hard Rock would be good. However, we are usually club level and one time I had to work from the lobby and they didn't give us our hotel key to access the club level until our room was ready.

We've done multiple "work-cations" at UOR. Cabana Bay has lots of great places with strong wifi. Standouts are the Starbucks in the lobby and the tables at the quick-service restaurants outside (they each have a covered & uncovered seating area; the uncovered areas are the quietest).

Other than the area surrounding check-in/check-out, any resort lobby will be relatively quiet all day as guests are at the parks. The restaurant areas may get closed off but the bar will usually have quiet seating.
