I never got a call back from management and was charged for a stay I wanted to cancel! Front desk said it was ok and Expedia said it was ok and I got charged! I did but the extra fee to cancel if anything comes up! Don’t buy through EXPEDIA. Go directly to hotel.

Everything was over priced. The room, parking,dining. I paid $24 for travel sized lotion ave travel sized deodorant. I paid $25 for a cup of Fruitloops Ave a banana for my 3 year old daughter. It was over crowded, the walls in the room were thin so we could hear everyone in surrounding rooms. They're was no hospitality or accommodations. Definitely will not stay there again.

Your typical Hilton Garden Inn which isn’t a bad thing as you know exactly what you’re getting. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. A nice big safe was available in the room. Obviously we chose the hotel because of its close proximity to the Universal Studios park. The hotel is walking distance to Universal City Walk and the hotel actually provided a free shuttle bus to and from the hotel. Check in took awhile as there was only one staff member and a trainee at the front desk so a long line started forming behind us as we waited. Fortunately a second staff member appeared to handle the load. Gym was adequate with 24 hour access to the cardio machines. Strangely enough the weight room is only open between 9am to 9pm which is ridiculous. As a result nobody adhered to those hours and every time I used the gym, people were in the weight room outside of the specified hours. A good stay, no complaints. We will definitely use this hotel again.

Hilton asked for my CC only for incidentals because my reservation was prepaid. They charged me an additional $22.00 for no reason. When I check out they told me my balance was zero. They never mentioned any charges. They refuse to reverse those $22.00 Terrible.

Hotel location was great, rooms were clean, and amenities were good. The reason for the poor rating is the charges. Our hotel reservations were from Nov 12-15. We arrived Nov 13. I understand being charged for the room despite the late arrival but we were charged for an extra day if parking ($50/day) despite not even being there. Parking cost should be based on the days our car was actually there. The front desk staff was not helpful to resolve this. $50 is not a lot of a hotel but a family on a budget, it does.
