I stayed here for work and was surprised by the mediocrity of the property. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Everyone went the extra mile to help (When they could). However, there were several things that were downright poor: First and foremost was the gym. It is small and dark and dingy with only 7 cardiovascular machines. The TV's... More

Best location for visiting the Universal Studio, takes you less than 10 minutes walking right to the entrance of the studio. Don’t expect too much as the hotel itself is a little outdated and need some major renovation. Everything seems 80s. However, the room we stayed at (got the alcove room) was quite cozy and spacious, which was on the... More

We stayed here the last part of our honeymoon in September. When we went to check in the front desk Manager stepped in and told us we were the guests of the day. This was an amazing surprise and we were upgraded to the nicest room I have ever stayed in and came with many perks. It was a two... More

We stayed here the night before flying home from LAX. Location was good for universal city walk but I'm not sure how far it would be from the usual sites you go to see whilst in LA. Room was nice - terrible view though (highway/freeway). The night we stayed we took the 10 minute walk over citywalk and ate at... More

His recommendation of the Dinner Buffet went noticed and we arrived, were put into the cattle call which is called food. The Host neglected to tell us the we could chose off of a separate menu if we did not... More

The Hilton is not only a closer walk (plus they have a shuttle if you don't want to waste your walking energy getting over to Universal Studios) but the rooms seemed a little nicer with their pillow top beds and the weekend breakfast buffet was amazing. It even included crab legs and things you don't normally see at breakfast like... More

I stayed at the Universal Hilton for business. I had a double room with a view of the highway and the hills. The location is convenient to all of the highways and about a 25 minute ride from LAX. Valet parking was expensive so I decided to do self park. Traveling alone I was a little skeptical going in and... More

Every time I visit Universal I stay at this Hilton, the staff has always been incredible and the same can be said for their rooms. I had booked this room rather late, a week in advance. We had decided to see a concert at the Gibson Amphitheater. There is a free shuttle service the operates between the Hilton and Universal... More

Friday evening seafood and prime rib buffet is $44. I didn't buy it, but so many people did that it was slow going as i made my way from the parking elevators to the front desk. (Self-parking was extremely tight due to hotel events.) When I got to the desk the staff was friendly and professional. The room was on... More

The location is what swayed me to stay at this hotel as the primary purpose of our stay was to visit the Universal Studios theme park. So I went ahead and booked, requesting a high floor, theme park view, alcove room, We arrived at 11.30am on a Sunday morning. I was expecting to arrange for luggage to be stored until... More
