For the price this hotel was very sub-par. The toilets barely flushed, the showers were a trickle and the beds and pillows were uncomfortable. There was a also a mildew like smell in our room.

Quick overnight at Universal. Great customer service and location. Enjoy the walk to City Walk. Hotel is dated, rooms could use some updates and new beds.

Nice Stay
This is a nice, quiet hotel. Our beds were nice to sleep on and the room was clean. Cleaning crew pays attention to little details like keeping the baseboards wiped down. The only thing I could complain about is the carpeting. It’s not overly worn but did give off a slight odor, but it wasn’t unpleasant.

Pretty run down for a Hilton property.
Given the location and the Hilton name I definitely expected better.
1st room was naususly overwhelming with cleaners/ Marijuana smoke. As well as a relative humidity of 80% in the room. Staff tried to minimize my complaint of the smell to keep us in the room. And after insisting on another room or refund to go elsewhere...
The 2nd room was better but the whole hotel smells of musty old carpet. Air intakes and ruturns have not been cleaned in who knows how long.So, if you have allergies stay somewhere else of be prepared to suffer.
