Comfort on a Budget in Hollywood
(Fun and Exciting LA Blog Series 2)
We arrived late in the afternoon at the beautiful
Hilton Hotel Universal after about five and a half
hours scenic bus trip from Las Vegas on Greyhound.
This the second time that we will be staying
this hotel, the first one was about three years ago
which I extensively reviewed in my past blog.
Hilton Hotel
Universal had a beautiful
spacious, modern- contemporary lobby.
It has cathedral- high glass ceiling that creates an
airy outdoor feel as it allows a lot of natural lights.
It has comfortable lobby seats,
…a tour desk where guests could conveniently
book for city tours and charge it to their rooms.
They also have a wonderful souvenir shop by the lobby.
We have stayed in a very spacious

…this time I was able to book only a standard suite
as they are hosting the medical convention that I would
be attending and all
their bigger rooms were taken.
I have been requesting for an upgrade but
I have been requesting for an upgrade but
was unsuccessful as they were fully booked.
I requested again for an upgrade when I registered
to no avail, but otherwise, check- in was a breeze,
..and we were immediately on our
way to our room at the 7th floor.
This would be our home for the next seven days in
LA, our last stop
for this three city autumn US
vacation.
Stay
We were expecting a rather small room, but we were pleasantly surprised
when we found out that the De Luxe Room was big and very spacious.

It had two queen sized beds, enough for a family of four to fit in comfortably.
The room was pretty large and the
kids had a lot of space to move around.

It had a high end coffee maker at the minibar,
…but did not have a refrigerator, and all it had were
bottled water, drinking glasses and an Ice Bucket,
that could be filled up from the nearby ice machine.
It had a beautiful and spacious toilet,
…a nice bathtub,
…provided with basic amenities,
….and sufficient signature toiletries.
The room had panoramic floor to ceiling windows
with a nice view of
Hollywood Hills on one side,
…and Universal Studios on the other side..
A room had three land line phones-
the first one at the bedside,
...the second one on the study table,
…and a third one in the toilet.
We were very happy with the very fast
and complimentary Wi Fi connection.
Stray

Universal had a perfect location
for those who are visiting Universal Studios as it is
located just few blocks away from the theme park
and could bee seen from our hotel room's window.

It also offers a regular free shuttle,
to the nearby Sheraton Universal,
…and the Universal City Walk,
…where guests could
access the
Universal Studios Hollywood.
Play
Hilton Hotel
Universal had a beautiful
heated outdoor swimming pool,
…and a whirlpool,
….amidst a beautifully landscaped garden.
I wasn’t able to check the Gym as we really
didn’t have time to
use it since were always out.
With the Universal
Studios Hollywood
just a short ride away by a free shuttle,
…guests would never run out of places
to play and stray
within the hotel.
Feast
Breakfast Buffet
Café Sierra
Hilton Hotel
Universal offers a massive
breakfast buffet at the Café
Sierra,
…and we always look forward for
hearty breakfasts in this hotel
…as they serve an enormous spread of
delectable local and international dishes.
The cavernous Café Sierra is also very beautiful
and had an outdoor feel as it had the cathedral like
glass roofing that allows a lot of natural lights.
Lobby Lounge
Lobby Lounge is a nice place to unwind while
listening to a
relaxing music played on a piano.
