Great hotel. Perfect location for Universal studios - five minute walk.

Room was huge. Very clean and the bed linen is lovely. Welcome basket of fruit, water, cheese and biscuits was indeed very welcome.

We were on the Executive Floor and the continental breakfast and hor d'oeuvres were a real bonus.

We ate at Cafe Sierra twice during our stay - delicious. We particularly liked the BBQ buffet - very good value for money. There is also a good choice of restaurants at Citywalk.

Other than Universal though there is not a lot within easy walking distance. The Metro station is walking distance but it is down a very steep hill. Unless you are planning on only visiting Universal you really do need a car. The car parking was $17 a day. There were always plenty of parking spaces available.

LA Zoo is well worth a visit - only $12 for adults - bargain.

I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Hollywood.

Can't argue with the location (short walk to Universal Studios, short drive to Hollywood and downtown), or the room which was massive and comfortable with a great bathroom.

Price for room was pretty good and they were able to extend our stay by a day (you will need time to explore LA). Only downside were the exorbitant charges for even short local phone calls and internet access. Everyone knows hotels love to charge for any extras, but their prices were outragous and we simply couldn't avoid them due to crcumstances.

Breakfast was nice and reasonably priced (extra to cost of room) Overall, pretty good, just a shame they feel they have to rip off tourists who need to make urgent calls.

This is definitely the place to stay at Universal City... as opposed to the Sheraton. We arrived late and left early, so I didn't really see much of the hotel. There is a $17 self-parking charge for the garage, as with many places.

A couple of snafus during my stay: The remote control for the TV didn't work... maybe the batteries were dead? Normally this would be a big deal, but it was late and I was tired, so I just read e-mail and went to bed. Then during the night, staff slid a hotel receipt with no numbers under my door... then replaced it with a receipt with no letterhead. Turns out the night staff had printed out the receipts before doing the audit (according to the beleaguered morning clerk) and so we had to go to the desk to check out in the morning. Frankly, the morning clerk could have been a bit more personable and less grumpy.

The room was fine... I'm sure I'll stay here again despite the quirks. It's nicer than the Sheraton.

LA was the last stop on our holiday and we stayed for 5 nights at the Universal Hilton.

I do not have a bad word to say about this hotel. Easy to find - follow Universal signs from freeway and then hotels (Sheraton and Hilton) are signed.

Self parking was never a problem - plenty of space. Straight into elevator which took us to lobby. Check in was a breeze - staff very helpful.

Rooms were really nice - executive floor. Has wonderful views over the pool and Universal Studios. Executive lounge was a godsend - breakfast every morning, complimentary soft drinks and coffee all day.

Shuttle bus from hotel to park was very reliable - every 10 minutes or so. It is an easy 15 minute walk to the park although easier to walk back as downhill.

Citywalk is great for places to eat - Hard Rock Cafe, Bubba Gump, Tony Roma's etc. Also good for shopping - Abercrombie, Fossil etc. Hollywood Boulevard 5 minute drive.

Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
