- “Standard rooms are stylish with Starbucks coffee, bottled water, and flat-screen TVs while upgraded rooms have balconies with seating and Club Lounge access, with breakfast and Wi-Fi included as well.” 3
- “Nothing on these menus truly stood out for quality or value, but breakfast options at the theme park and CityWalk are especially limited, so the buffet options - $17 for continental breakfast, $27 for a full, hot breakfast spread with made-to-order waffles and eggs benedict - may appeal to some guests.” 21
- “I stayed at The Garland the time before last and they had good rates, good food on-site with awesome kid-friendly choices, and a pool my kids found fun.” 18
- “I also enjoyed the full breakfast buffet ($30 per person) at The California, the hotel's main sit-down dining outlet open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.” 14

- “We stayed at the Sheraton at universal as that was our only destination and we were only staying one night. Despite the hotel being nice, restaurant options are very limited so I would not recommend staying there if you are staying any longer than one night.” 18

Value16 mentions · 2 filmed
- “Nonetheless, Wi-Fi for non-SPG members and on-site parking require expensive daily fees.” 3
- “If the hotel is over $200 per night then I'd advise skipping staying here and find somewhere else close by or make the drive in the morning. While I like the hotel and have found the upgrades to be quite nice, it's just not worth that high of a price tag.” 9
- “I've stayed a few times at the Ramada by Wyndham just off I5 in Burbank, it's clean, rates have been good, it's decently kept and they have security that roams the grounds and through the parking area so I felt the family was safe.” 18
- “From a value perspective, this is where the Sheraton holds its ground. We paid $456.30 total for two nights, which felt fair for a major theme-park location in Los Angeles.” 7
- “I've stayed at the Sheraton. I honestly think they're very overpriced for what they offer.” 22
- “The 21-story hotel has over 450 rooms and while the hotel may not be a destination itself, it offers a good-value stay for visiting Universal Studios Hollywood or if you have business to attend to nearby.” 12
- “Wi-Fi is free for SPG members only. All other guests must pay an expensive daily fee per device.” 3
- “I recently stayed at a Marriott in Burbank and I felt it was nice (good rating too) for the price IMO.” 18

- “The Sheraton Universal Hotel proved to be a great value for what it provided.” 14
- “overall this is a very nice room definitely worth the price you pay here I'd say” On camera158:56

Location23 mentions · 4 filmed
- “I stayed once across the street from USH at the Hilton, it was a nice location but pricy (of course)” 18
- “The best thing about the Sheraton Universal Hotel is its location, as it is just below Universal Studios Hollywood and is either a shuttle ride or short walk away from the park and Universal CityWalk.” 12
- “IMHO the Sheraton Universal location is convenient for Universal, but going to be a bit of a pain for visiting other areas of Los Angeles and you'll likely be getting caught in rush hour (goes south in AM, north in PM).” 4
- “I enjoyed being right across the street walking distance from Universal Hollywood they also had a shuttle to unversal Studios Hollywood” On camera1618:21
- “The hotel's biggest selling point is still its location next to Universal Studios Hollywood, not cutting-edge design or luxury features.” 7
- “the location worked perfectly for what we were doing we spent one day at Universal Hollywood and then we spent another day doing Griffith Observatory in that area and another day doing tours at the Warner Brothers Studio and the Paramount Studio and it was easy to get to all of those places” On camera1617:54
- “The most noticeable benefit to staying at Sheraton Universal is its proximity to Universal Hollywood and CityWalk. It's only a 10- to 15-minute walk to the theme park entrance, but be warned, you'll have to deal with the very steep incline of Universal Hollywood Drive.” 21
- “Beverly Laurel Hotel (around $225) is a nice retro place (motor hotel surrounding a pool) with a good location near shopping and maybe 5 min walk to that bus up Fairfax that goes to Hollywood/Highland.” 5
- “The hotel is within easy walking distance of Universal Studios Hollywood, but they also provide complimentary shuttle transportation to and from the parks.” 14
- “Beds are extremely comfortable and despite its location close to the freeway, noise in our room wasn't an issue.” 6
- “As you can see in the map above, it's less than a 10 minute walk to the front gate of the park. I will warn you that the walk is uphill so it's not as easy as that 2D map might make it appear. Nonetheless, this is a very nice way to go about the morning and perfect for rope dropping and beating those late arriving LA crowds.” 9
- “Stayed at the Hilton over spring break and it was very nice. Large room, clean, and close to the park. A little pricey, but can't beat the location.” 22
- “Sheraton Universal Hotel is in a commercial area with Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal City Walk, restaurants, and shops within easy walking distance.” 3
- “Convenient location near major attractions like The Hollywood Bowl and Universal Studios Hollywood” 3
- “it's only about a 5 10 minute walk to the park from here not bad at all and there's the entrance parking lot” On camera158:46
- “that the hilton would be slightly better i mean it's a seven minute walk from the sheraton so you can't complain about that either” On camera137:22
- “The Sheraton Universal Hotel is one of the most conveniently located properties for visitors to Universal Studios Hollywood, sitting at 333 Universal Hollywood Drive, Universal City, CA 91608.” 7
- “(Its location makes it convenient for Griffith Park, North Hollywood, Burbank, and Glendale in addition to Universal Studios Hollywood visits.)” 10
- “The location was great - right off the 101 and central to everything - and the room felt upscale.” 1
- “The other option is a complimentary shuttle bus that runs about 20 minutes between the hotel, the neighboring Hilton, and CityWalk. Between the extra stop and the fact that the CityWalk bus stop is located further away from the park entrance than the walking path, the bus option is more about saving steps than time.” 21
- “The location is unbeatable - within walking distance to Universal Studios and CityWalk.” 1
- “The best thing about the Sheraton Universal Hotel is its location. The hotel is located just below Universal Studios Hollywood and offers a complimentary shuttle to and from Universal CityWalk, adjacent to the theme park entrance.” 8
- “The Hilton is closer but the Sheraton is still really close to Universal. A 5 min walk.” 22
Room35 mentions · 7 filmed
- “This convenience is largely why families choose it, as there aren't a ton of large hotels in this part of Los Angeles. However, during a recent stay, we were pleasantly surprised by the old Hollywood decor throughout, the quality of our room, and delicious in-room dining.” 6
- “Standard rooms include either a king bed or two doubles, a desk area, and large windows overlooking the Hollywood Hills or Universal Studios. Our room had a partial park view with plenty of natural light during the day.” 7
- “This is the quintessential business hotel look in the 2020s: modern touches on all the furniture and lighting, along with an ample workspace. The only pleasant surprise is they've kept the carpet, unlike many other four-star hotels removing it for cheaper (and louder) flooring.” 21
- “An old Hollywood flavor thanks to photos and other touches, but with a mostly-contemporary feel. This room was fairly small (pretty much standard for Los Angeles unless you get into high roller territory), but made great use of space.” 10
- “The mattress was comfortable and the room felt fairly open in concept despite having all of the usual furnishings. We were on the 18th of 20 possible floors so the view of the park and surrounding area was certainly nice.” 9
- “Traditional rooms come with a king or two double beds and are approximately 325 square feet. We booked into a Traditional King room and it was nice for a short stay. My daughter particularly liked chilling out on the sofa seating area against the wall.” 6
- “Even though it's a Sheraton and the interior of the room was nice, the view was awful for me since I was looking at the roof of one of the buildings and they just covered it with fake grass, not very carefully I might add.” 22
- “The food was good, the views were great, and the room design was very cool.” 1
- “The location was great - right off the 101 and central to everything - and the room felt upscale.” 1
- “The air conditioning ran quietly and kept the room cool without fluctuation, something we appreciated after long park days.” 7
- “I thought that our room - which was slightly larger than the hotel's standard guest room - was comfortable, but small for a family of four.” 8
- “I enjoyed the floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the Hollywood hills. The sunrise views from my room were beautiful.” 14
- “overall just a really nice room but let's take a look at the view” On camera158:19
- “We were given a newly renovated Lanai Poolside room on the first floor. The pool was right outside our patio door, which was convenient. I loved the new modern decor and old Hollywood art.” 8
- “I prefer the room decor at Sheraton Universal Hotel. It feels a bit more up-to-date, and I like the old Hollywood glamour vibe throughout the hotel.” 6
- “Stayed at the Hilton over spring break and it was very nice. Large room, clean, and close to the park.” 22
- “We were at the park so we missed it this time. Our room was upgraded to a King Park View which was also great.” 4
- “you have got the reading lights and a really really big window the whole wall is a window that is really awesome so there's tons of natural light in here” On camera1612:28
- “The seating areas, tables and wall panels were showing some wear and tear. That said, the room felt very clean, just "lived in."” 14
- “Hilton was able to check me in earlier than the usual 4PM which was nice! And you have the potential of getting a very nice theme park view room.” 22
- “and then we have a mini fridge good size mini fridge it's nice and cold I do love that so no microwave here but you do have the mini fridge and the coffee maker” 16
- “There are also Airbnbs in the area if that option interests you. We stayed at the Sheraton in January - two adults in a standard room and it was IMO a bit tight- Depending on the size of your family luggage ect you may wanna look for something with more room.” 22
- “again with the sliding doors into a bathroom it is so popular right now I absolutely hate it but I will not hold that against this room I do love that they've utilized a giant mirror here” On camera1614:09
- “so you have got a nice rolly chair here with a desk there's lots of Lights here and this is a very nice spacious desk to get some work done” On camera1611:38
- “Rooms come with a mini fridge, coffee maker, safe, ironing set, and flat-screen TV. There's also a comfortable sofa to relax after a long day or get some work done, though Wi-Fi speed varied during our stay.” 7
- “The bed and other furniture were comfortable, but parts of the room did seem as if they'd seen better days.” 14
- “The room felt a little more modern and the internet was very fast (had some work to do).” 22
- “I really enjoyed the Hollywood touches throughout the resort and the room” On camera1618:41
- “And you have the potential of getting a very nice theme park view room. We stayed at the Sheraton in January - two adults in a standard room and it was IMO a bit tight- Depending on the size of your family luggage ect you may wanna look for something with more room.” 22
- “I've done both as well, and the Sheraton edges out the Hilton ever so slightly. The room felt a little more modern and the internet was very fast (had some work to do).” 22
- “if you're looking at doing a Los Angeles trip and basing a lot of your stay in Universal Studios as well as other Hollywood places like the Warner Brother Studio tour or the Paramount Studio tour or the Hollywood Walk of Fame this is a great place to Anchor your hotel stay” On camera161:20
- “Membership will get you free Wi-Fi for a limited number of devices during your stay. I felt that it was a bit of a hassle, but it worked and we didn't spend a lot of time in our room anyway.” 8
- “An unequivocal plus of this space was the lighting. Not only was the closet backlit, but those dishes at the top are also lights, which I found to be about the coolest thing ever.” 10
- “Got the corner king suite and the adjacent double next to it. Did helicopters fly by overhead often? That was the only minor irritant with our stay.” 4
