Best hotel for a Universal Studio trip. Short walk to park entrance. Great views and very good hotel. Clean, modern and convenient. The $50 per night parking fee is excessive.

We had to pivot or spring break plans last minute due to road closures in Big Sur. We ended up going to Universal Studious and staying at this Hilton. Our vehicle didn’t fit in the parking garage and the Hilton staff comped us valet parking. This hotel is perfect walking distance to the park, we had a great experience.

The staff are amazing, the property itself is dated, needs a refresh. Check in at Hilton in Vegas and this one is brutal, app did not work, fly for hours, then spend an hour checking in. Vegas was really bad, this one was about 20mins. Buffet is really expensive 150pp. Overall great job by the staff, not many options around the park.
