"Our room was small but well appointed. Comfortable and clean bed and linens as well as towels. Some outlets did not work. Most of the outlets on the desk were broken. The building could use a refresh, but the design is excellent. Great location, convenient drop off off of the road. Great restaurant and adequate gym."

Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City
10/10 Excellent
"Great location. We could walk to City Walk or take the free shuttle if we were tired or lazy. It's also easy to get to the Metro down the hill and take the free shuttle up the steep hill to City Walk. Also only a few minutes by Uber to Warner Bros studio. Room and common areas were clean. Staff were helpful and friendly. Continental breakfast was good enough for me (pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit, charcuterie). I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again."
