Great location if you are planning to visit Universal Studios - just a short walk to the park. Please note that the 10 minute walk to Universal is not handicapped-stroller friendly. Those of you that don't want to climb hills/steps and cross traffic will want to wait for the shuttle that comes every 20 minutes. (they say 10 minutes, but... More

Dear Jaimekaye- Thank you for your great rating and comments and I was happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. The walk up to Universal can be a challenge with a wheelchair or stroller as there is a flight of stairs. I agree with you that in these cases it would probably be best to take the shuttle operated... More

Stayed early May, 2012 for 6 nights. Upgraded to Club floor for included breakfast, evening snacks, free internet and reduced parking fees. An upper floor and SW corner room gave a great view. Most importantly in is very very convenient to North LA. More

We stayed here on a recent trip to LA and were very happy with the hotel. It was in a good location as it was just a 10 minute walk to Universal Studios/City Walk where they have tons of restaurants & shopping. Our room was super clean and nice--it seems to have been renovated recently. The bathroom was a bit... More

Went to this hotel for a a High School Reunion. Thought it might be wise to get a room and have some friends pre-party and visit my friends room post party. My room was big and we were able to fit several couples in for our pre-party. Only down side we did not have a frig. The party was on... More

I stay at a lot of Starwood hotels and am impressed by the personal service and attention offered with every stay and the general decor and amenities at this particular Sheraton. It has more character than most hotels in this chain, is a great value for the location, and has a nice gym. More

I have stayed at Sheraton Universal a couple times for business. It is a good hotel that is comparable to most Sheraton hotels. The rooms have been updated - though the bathroom seems to be on the smaller side. The lobby includes a pretty good bar and the restaurant on the ground level serves good breakfast. The hotel has a... More

This was once the only hotel on top of the San Fernando Valley hill shared with Universal Studios Hollywood. It shows is age a little, compared to the newer Hilton built next door. But apparent refurbishments have kept it relevant. Walking distance to the Studios means you don't really need a car, which costs $18 to park at the hotel... More

I'd rate this hotel as just kind of average... the sleeping rooms are somewhat dated-looking with dark furniture, but they have flat screen TVs and comfortable beds. There's an in-room coffee maker with Starbucks coffee. The room and floor I was on (8th) were nice and quiet on the night I stayed there. The first floor lobby/bar area really seemed... More
