Features
What to expect: Located high on a hillside, this majestic 24-story hotel is set back from the Universal Studios Hollywood thoroughfare, with a private entrance that overlooks the Hollywood Hills. Valets await arriving guests, who enter a light-filled, marble-clad lobby with crystal chandeliers hanging from the vaulted ceiling. Business travelers comprise the bulk of the hotel clientele. Amenity highlights: Along with tropical plants, the lobby houses numerous museum-quality bronzes (including pieces by sculptor Frederic Remington) from the Whittaker Collection. The arboretum-style restaurant serves sumptuous Friday-Sunday seafood and prime rib buffets and Sunday champagne brunches. On the first floor, an outdoor pool and spa tub are surrounded by grassy gardens and offer views of the Hollywood Hills. Insider tip: The Universal City Metro station is located 2 blocks from hotel, affording fast and easy subway access to Hollywood, downtown L.A., and other areas and attractions. Although it's possible to walk there, the path is steep, so guests often opt for the hotel’s free tram to the Universal Studios entrance, where another free shuttle provides transportation to the Metro station corner.
Café Sierra - California and Continental fare is served for all meals in this lobby-level, arboretum-style restaurant surrounded by greenery. Seafood and prime rib buffets are featured Friday through Sunday. Champagne brunch every Sunday. Lobby Lounge - Located adjacent to the restaurant, separated by etched-glass divider screens, this lobby lounge offers both bar and terrace seating.

| The hotel was fabulous, but the restaurant was not as good. Though, the restaurant manager did try and make things good by comping my meal, the eggs were runny, the potatoes were cold and the servers were way under staffed causing me to wait a long time to get served.

| My recent stay at the Hilton Hotel Universal City was a pleasant travelling experience. Check in was quick and efficient and the room was comfortable and well equipped. If I had needed a hair dryer, I might have been annoyed, because I didn't think there was one until I found it in the closet on the second day. The bed was wonderful, though, like sleeping on a cloud, and the extra pillows and bedding right in the room ensured a comfortable stay for anyone. Dinner in the Hotel Restaurant was very good. The extra charge for parking came as a surprise, but didn't seem out of line for the area. Overall, I enjoyed this hotel.

| The HUC's best feature is that it is relatively centrally located in LA, though the proximity (right next door) to Universal City makes it by definition a tourist hotel. However, they have decent business services and a conscientious staff that make it a perfectly legit business stay as well. Not glamorous (or particularly close to a decent restaurant scene) but very functional.
