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

We were upgraded by a wonderful Front Desk person named Fidel when we arrived and told him about our Anniversary. 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

We (adult family) stayed at the Hilton Los Angels / Universal City Last Summer. We picked it as some relatives had stayed some months earlier. It is a nice hotel near to Universal City and theme park, just a short walk away over a foot bridge. The food was good, breakfast had all the variety you could want ‘buffet style’;... More

Stayed at the ... For a weekend together with FOUR adolescents and had one of the best hotel stays ever. Although the reservation of the second room was made later, they had connecting rooms waiting for us and held them despite our past midnight arrival.  The rooms are pretty good standard, rather good noise insulation, shower with hand shower and...

A great hotel if you are visiting Universal (it is the closest universal hotel). We arrived really early on an international flight and even though they were heavily booked, they managed to rearrange things so we could check in early to shower and have a quick nap before our day at universal. We were really appreciative of this. There were... More
