| We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the hotel. Great food in the dining room. Chef's specialty, mushroom soup was delicious. The only drawback for us was getting a room with two double beds. Two adults and one 12 year old. A little tight but for the weekend, it was not too uncomfortable sleeping.

| The Hilton Garden Inn is close to universal studios, there was a shuttle that transported us back and forth to the theme parks. Our room was clean and the bathroom was!!! The only two complaints I have were, when we tried to check in we were not helped in a timely maner. The second thing was our room smelled like smoke, and I was upset about that. I told one of the girls at the front desk and they sprayed something that took away the smoke smell.

| This hotel does have transportation to Universal which is not readily apparent. It is too far to walk! There are a few other restaurants in the area if you are willing to walk as well.

| We stayed several nights & had a pleasant experience. We changed our request at chekc in from 2 double beds to 1 king with no problem ( had a top floor room that was "handicap accessible which was fine. We didn't use the breakfast or shuttle since we had our own vehicle. Good location.
