Top Universal City Hotel Reviews

Tilt Hotel Universal-Hollywood, an AGA Collection Hotel

Tilt Hotel Universal-Hollywood, an AGA Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Clean room, very comfortable beds, friendly staff, good air conditioning. Parking was $27.50 per night but staff allowed us to leave our car there all day after checkout so we could go to Universal Studios and return to get it in the evening. We appreciated that. Hotel is conveniently located near theme park within about a 15- 18 minute walking distance. I felt that the deposit for incidentals was a bit high at $200 for one night, but it was refunded within a few days on my visa. I would stay at this hotel again."
