Recent guest reviews

The proximity to Universal is great, as well as the room service and pool area. What I didn’t like was the front desk and it’s inability to handle rude people. Twice I was cut in front of by others and the staff did nothing. Also, the fridge did not work, there was a big yellow stain on our sheets, the remote did not work, and the fan in the bathroom didn’t work. We let it be known but was never re-engaged on the matter. Normally I wouldn’t be so nitpicky but for what we spend I expected more. Also, be prepared for every tax known to man to be thrown your way. Occupany tax. City tourism tax. State tourism tax. I mean sheesh. It’s a massive cash grab.

The location is great, walking distance to Universal. But the bathroom was pretty horrible. Very dirty. Shaving clippings all over back of vanity and my boys don't shave yet. Also it took a good 30 minutes of running the water before it would get hot enough to take a shower. I felt guilty running the water but just couldn't do a cold shower. Most mornings I took a luke warm shower.

Beautiful hotel and close to the airport however the walls are thin and you can hear the people in the next room. The complementary beverage and snack in the evening was fair. If you are around 12 or 13 years old like the sports teams that were staying at the hotel, you would particularly like it because it involved nacho cheese, animal crackers and cheese its. 😜

The staff was very courteous, Excellent Service and dining. We had great family time.

The bar tenders at the lounge were unbelievable. Perpetual motion! Spot on with drinks, food, ect. Waitress at breakfast were excellent. Front desk staff were great as well as the Concierge. Only problem was that we were on 23rd floor and never even had warm water for showers.

Nice hotel close to Universal Studio. Hotel happy hour is excellent, has variety of items to choose.

Great hotel! Very friendly and welcoming staff, clean and comfortable room with great view of Universal Studios. Easy walking distance to Universal.

Great location close to Universal Studios theme park. Very nice and helpful staff and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay.

Shower drain clogged every time used. AC not working properly

Awesome stay at Hilton. Comfortable beds and great bathroom.

Clean facilities, great sized room but a little overpriced

Nice hotel. great staff. Great location for Hollywood tours.

Nice shuttle to CityWalk, but still close enough to walk if you don't want to wait. We went to the bar for Happy Hour, which was really good. Check-in was really easy, so was check-out. Parking was really easy. Great room.

Very nice and right accross from universal studios.

The only thing that bugged us was that although our rooms were cared for each day, they didn’t replace our glassware daily we were left with dirty ones which by day 3 were smelly. We were also given 2 bottles of water the first day but never again, for the cost of the room I expected a little more in the everyday details.

Very nice hotel within walking distance to Universal studios.
