Universal City Historic Hotel

"This is a a really nice hotel to stay if you want to be near Universal Studios. The place smells good when you walk in. Very clean and organized. The free bus to and from the park was great. The pool was very nice you can order drinks and food while there, super chill vibe. The restaurant was nice, food and service was good. Wish the breakfast was free like many do around Disneyland but I guess that cuts back on too many people at once. One thing i wasn't expecting was the $300 deposit per room so we had to pay 600 bucks even though the rooms were already payed in full. I expected a deposit just not so much. The Wi-Fi was not good, my cell service worked better without it. Other than that I’d say this was an excellent place to stay for a Hollywood trip and would definitely recommend! "

"THE FINE PRINT: Don't bother with a "city view" room unless you're on a top floor, because all you will see is the ugly rooftops and other buildings. So don't pay extra for that unless it's guaranteed a top floor. Ride Share: Waymo is not allowed into the property, so you have to get picked up at a dangerous gas station next door. Lots of homeless, drug users and mentally ill people talking to themselves at the gas station next door. Doesnt feel safe going to buy drinks or snacks. You get harassed for change. Doesnt feel safe getting picked up or dropped off there. Resort Fee: this is one of those hotels that charges a resort fee, so be careful of that they do give you a $31 credit back. But the credit is not per day. It's for your whole day so you get charged for the resort fee daily. Tips: They already and automatically include a 20% service charge, so anything you tip on that is EXTRA. They don't really disclose that. They just put a stamp on the receipt. You have to ask for an itemized receipt to see that the charge was added. The front desk staff was weird. They saw us waiting in line and walked away mysteriously without saying I'll be back or acknowledging that we were there or saying someone will be right with you. Otherwise, I really liked the location. It was really handy to the LA Metro, which made getting around very easy."

"The room was very clean. The people at the front desk were a little rude and snobby."

"Great location to walk to Universal Studios. Room was a little rundown. food was left in the refrigerator from previous attendant. Street noise was loud."

"Wonderful hotel "

"The lobby was closed for a private party so we didn’t get to experience that. And the theater was closed due to maintenance issues, which was a bit of a bummer"

"Na"

"Staff was helpful and great to deal with! Cafe was really good and the staff there were also helpful and friendly! Only thing, shower is a little tight, and the shower head was pretty high. I’m 5’11” and had to reach for it to adjust spray pattern "

"Clean room "
