Hilton Los Angeles / Universal City

Good location, huge pool

by marpop at Citysearch

After trying to decide between this location and the Sheraton, I was pretty happy with my choice (even though it IS a hilton). The place is huge and the pool is enormous -- it actually has a divider for the lap area and is nicely heated at night. I was there on a very cool night, but couldn't resist a swim. I recommend a high floor either overlooking the highway or Universal Studiois --it's great watching all the excitement buzzing beneath you.

• Pros: Heated pool, great hilltop location
• Cons: Has a sort of business vibe with all the visiting groups

Weekend getaway.

I spent a weekend here for my anniversary and the place was very nice. Their service as soon as we got out of the car up until we got into our rooms was remarkable. You can always request to be near the top floor, which gives you a pretty good view of the city, depending on which side you are on. The rooms are very well maintained, and the bathroom is beautiful, which is very appealing to women ... especially since it has a vanity desk section. Room service was very prompt and the food selections are delicious: their tiramisu is to die for! Beautiful place to spend with your significant other.
