This hotel is perfect location if you are planning a visit to Universal Studios. Its got a free shuttle bus to it but there is no need as its only a 5mins walk. Hotel is typical Hilton and the price reflects that. Its very big, rooms are clean and big but slightly dated and can be a bit cheesy.

Staff are super friendly - from bellboys to reception to car park attendant. I asked the bellboy about prices for the theme park and not only did he go out of his way to find out but he also gave me vouchers for $8 discount off the ticket price.

Requested a king bed but when we got up to the room it was 2 twins. Told the reception and they changed it within seconds with no hassle. Only thing to complain is that the parking is a bit expensive, $17 per day for self parking. They also have valet if u pay extra but there is no need as car park is right below hotel and very easy to access urself.

Breakfast buffet is good but the expect to pay the usual hotel prices. Bar is good with drinks and big screens to watch sports. All in all enjoyed my stay. Would recommend.

We stayed in this Hilton for 3 days over a spring recess period. The location is superb, and is so close to the Universal park that we ended not using the free shuttle to Universal. Is a easy 5min walk.

Room was immaculate day in and day out with great attention to detail by the maid. The beds are just the best, so comfy its a real shock coming back home.

Pool was great, never over crowded, always seating and loads of towels available. Try and stay in the executive floors as the breakfast sets you up nicely for the day.

You have to pay for the internet - this is the only piece I didn't like so ended just using the terminal available at the executive floor.

We had a decent enough stay at the Hilton, just a few guys, in Los Angeles for business. We had pretty typical rooms, not one of the big corner rooms -- those look very big on the floor plans! But our rooms were just typical, although I'd say the bathroom was exceptionally large. Nice bathroom. I'd stay here with my family and kids, without hesitation.

We had executive floor access, and I was pretty underwhelmed by the breakfast offerings there. I am beginning to think having executive floor access is quite overrated. Of course, getting free yoghurt and cereal and muffins and orange juice is not to be scoffed at on vacation is it? We'd probably have paid $15 for all that, if we had eaten downstairs. Enh. Eating at hotels is never really a treat, is it?

Otherwise, the bar service at the hotel bar was average, the drinks were...average, but at hotel-lobby prices. It was ho-hum.

That's about all I saw of the hotel! There was a mini-bar, which we didn't use, and there were some nice fruit baskets in the room when we got there. It was pretty nice, but it just didn't blow me away.

This hotel is close to the red line's Universal City stop. Indeed, for $1.25 we rode all the way from the airport to the hotel. Two things you should know before you do this. The first is, it is a pretty long ride, and it was pretty rowdy on the green line from airport to imperial. But once you get to Universal City, the hotel is *uphill* significantly from the red line station. This may not be obvious from google maps, but it is a serious uphill climb to the hotel, so be in good shape or try to hail a cab...or just sweaty and exhausted and fall down in the lobby like we did.

After a long trip from London we were not disappointed by the Hilton. We had read about how amazing the staff were, and it was all true! They were SO polite and helpful. Our rooms were great and it was extremely convenient for Universal Studios and CIty Walk (easy 5 min walk). Only slight gripe, was the level of air conditioning in the public areas - it was freezing!!

The whole family had a great stay (including 2 teenage boys).
