I wasn't sure what to expect as Sheraton's can be bad or great. It was about in the middle. I didn't get upgraded even though I'm gold due to E3 making it so packed which was fine. The lobby was very nice and fresh with free internet in their special computer zone.
Getting to the room was a bit of a mess. You have to go down a long hallway and then take what looks like a service elevator and go down a floor to get to some rooms. I don't necessarily mind being on a lower floor but the hallways here really made me feel like I was in a basement. Dark, grungy.
The room was not bad. Not too big but about what I would expect. It had a balcony but since I was on the 2nd floor it made it worse, not better as someone could easily climb up into the room if they wanted to break in. Again, very dated.
The location is great if you want to go to Universal or their citywalk but it took me an hour to drive to the convention center and the free shuttle to E3 took even longer. I had asked beforehand how long it would take and they said 30 min. I allowed for 45 but was still late.
Parking is a bit steep at $18 a night but there's no choice.
Check in staff was nice. He was a gamer too so we had a nice chat about that.
If they upgrade the rooms and hallways to be as nice as the lobby then the rating would go up in a hurry. Adding directions to the elevator would be nice too.
