Malos servicios en la habitación
Pros:

Lo cerca del parque Universal.

Cons:

El agua de la ducha tarda en calentar 45 minutes a 1 hr. El agua se iba y no había presión del agua. Nos quedamos en jabón porque se fue el agua. Había una fuga de agua en el lavamanos del baño. El aire acondicionado no trabajaba bien, mucho calor los dos días de estadia.

Amazingly, kind human beings ❤️
Pros:

My family never has experienced such great valet service like we did at pur stay with Hilton. Angel and Rolando were amazing at what they did. Such respectful gentleman, kind, sweet and so helpful. Having a Gtube nephew we needed to take his equipment and had it strap to the top of the vehicle and they without hesitation helped us secure my nephew wheelchair and wagon before driving off..saved us time and stress! Thank you Angel and Rolando you guys are great, kind human beings! Never stop being you. Thank you from me and my family.

Lovely as ever
Pros:

The hotel is lovely as always. We stayed at this hotel whenever we come to LA/Universal Hollywood and it again did not disappoint. Ease of check in, finding our room and getting settled in was a breeze. Room size is definitely more than adequate for our family of 4. The parking garage was nice to have so our vehicle was secure and easy to get in an out each day as well chose. The shuttle to the park is definitely a plus as well. It’s picks you up right outside the front doors and back again when you’re done at the park. There was even a lovely wedding at the hotel while we were there that we could view from our room window. Will definitely stay again next time we are in town.

You can't get closer to Universal Studios than this!
Pros:

The hotel is a short walk to Universal Studios and if you're not in the mood to walk there is a shuttle departing from the hotel every 15 minutes. The room was clean and quiet and the beds were comfortable.
