    "Disappointing arrival experience"
    TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
    Reviewed November 04, 2025 NEW
    Arrival was terrible. 4pm and room was not ready and asked to wait. But them told not to sit on the reception and lobby areas they. Ave a vip large Asian wedding and they don’t want us in the photos as they were going to video. Told to go on other side and sit down in The American Grill. When we got there it was sealed off with sign saying private event. There were a lot of staff waiting for the event toarrive - all of them (including the managers) just ignored any guests arriving - no Greeting - no porter help etc - soo disappointing and left to feel that you are im the way (even as a Diamond Member) When we got to our room it was an interconnecting with a dog next door, great to hear the dog barking every night. Really logical to put into an interconnecting room? Good location for Universal, good sized parking (but charged $33 a day to park) Could do with better signage inside the hotel to find where the café, bar and restaurants are located.

    "Nice people but not great amenities"
    TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
    Reviewed November 03, 2025 NEW
    Miss Linda at the front desk. She is amazing plus!!! As for the hotel itself, well for the price it was not worth it and we won’t be back. They charge high rates and the rooms are nice but there are virtually no amenities. No breakfast, coffee is never restocked in the rooms snd the housekeeping did not empty the trash until we had a grocery bad full beside the trash can.

    We had our wedding at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Universal Entrance, and it was absolutely amazing! The venue was beautiful, the event ran perfectly, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless. From start to finish, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring — we couldn’t have asked for better service. All our guests loved the space and had an incredible time. Highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding or special event!
