Loved by Hilton Los Angeles-Universal City guests
"Located within a very short 5 minute walk (or a complimentary shuttle ride that will probably take longer ) this business class hotel offers awesome park view rooms, an updated interior, safe (but expensive) parking, good service and good f&b options."
"My kids really loved the pool area as well along with the various games they have down there like ping pong, giant connect four, and giant chess."
"The room was clean and spacious, and within walking distance of Universal Studios."

Pros
Situated on elevated ground with panoramic views of Universal Studios, Hollywood Hills, and San Fernando Valley
Multiple dining venues including an award-winning restaurant in a polished steel and glass atrium
24-hour business center with comprehensive event planning services
Hiking and biking trails accessible in the surrounding area
Cons
6 miles distance from Hollywood Burbank Airport
10.5 miles from downtown's 7th St/Metro Center
“For families targeting Universal Studios, the location can't be beat, and the free shuttle is a lifesaver after a long day. I especially appreciate the reported attentiveness of the staff; those small touches make a big difference during a trip. Factor in the event spaces, and this becomes a compelling option for larger gatherings, too.”

low clearancedirty hallways
the valet parking situation really annoyed me. i drive a truck and the garage had a really low clearance so i was forced to use the valet. this added extra cost and was totally inconvenient. also, the cleanliness in the hallways was lacking. there were food bags sitting around for two days, it wasnt a good look.
