Hi ! Do you think it is ok to stay at Helios for a week knowing we will be on universal island of adventures and studios most of the time ? Or would it be better to choose another hotel ? + Do Helios have free shuttles to other parks ? I’ve missed that information
I hope grand Helios not including express pass will be temporary. But because it's the case for now I'll stick with hard rock untill it does and you can get more than a single day in the new park.
To be fair what you miss out in an free express pass for everyone staying at the hotal... You gain the lowest starting price of universal top tier hotals and the fun/convence of staying in the park. Which makes the htoals with the frerries/in walking distance seem extermly far away from the park. Also it is the only hotal with the dedacted transport to Epic universe... The twin space hotalsonly have busses and are more in the middle of all the univversla Orlando parks... Also having the least room of any of the universal Orlando hotals and it's really good price. The only reason why you would not want to stay there when visting epic universe is I believe it would be extremely exclusive from being sold out most of the time. So unless you get lucky with down time or canclations you'll never be able to book a room even for a night... Unless universal has a lottery or sells rooms in batches with a date and time you can wait for to have an equal chance at booking a room. Like while Universal could add the epress pass they really don't need to in fact they are being extremely generous with the pricing of the hotal. Which is not only chweaper then some of universal hotals but is cheaper then most Disney hotal most of the time. Which given the exclusivity and demand of this hotal they could have easly made it the most expensive hotal in Orlando and it would still be sold out most of the time... They didn't.
Saying Grand Helios is connected to Epic Universal is massively under selling it... Because it's main selling point and claim to fame is being "inside" the park ourt atleast being a gate to it... Which is a brand new thing in Orlando... Unlike connected which is vwery vague and could easly mean any Hotals asscated with a theme park. As in any hotal that has dedicated buss service or is in walking distance of a theme park. Which even in the most narrow senes in means the universe Hotals with farry service and the Disney hotals with the monorail and gondla access to the parks... Which again under sells the grand helos massively.

Yes, Helios will have free transportation to the other parks so I believe it will be okay!
Why is there no Three Broomsticks Inn, Hog's Head Inn, or Railview Hotel?

I'm thinking the same way!! Too good of a deal at the other hotels to pass up.
