Stayed here three nights. Perfect for going to Universal Studies, but that's also the reason I never stayed here before (too "touristy" a location for business). However, I was pleasantly surprised by the location. It's sandwiched between the 101 and 134 freeways... which means it's a good location to access the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, or Pasadena whichever direction you want to go. From that standpoint, it's a pretty good base for exploring L.A. (only beaches are less accessible). Otherwise, it's a fairly standard Hilton. I was on a floor BELOW the lobby which gave it a subterranean feel. I would've appreciated more light and a view. Front desk staff seemed a bit clueless when the group I was with was needing to check in a little early (one staffer knew how to find available rooms while the other one had people camping out in the lobby for 30-60 minutes waiting for a room... finally, they talked to each other). Only other disappointment was that the pool was closed for repair.
