I cant compare the two for you because I never stayed at the Radisson, but did stay at Universal Crowne Plaza this past June. We booked through Hotwire at $57.00 a night. Upgraded w/o asking at check-in. The rooms are large and clean. They offered a free shuttle to the parks but we grabbed a taxi, think it was $5-7 for 4 of us. The staff really stood out to me, very helpful and always a smile. The pool was nice and had a hot tub also. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
