Clean room. Staff was great. The hotel is a little outdated but if you’re looking for an ideal location where you can walk to Universal this is it! Lots of places to eat near by too.

Best hotel if you plan to universal studios, staffs are very nice and helpful, room is spacious, A/C is good enough for hot days, highly recommend to rent a car for your trip instead of using rideshare or taxi, too expensive in LA

This place was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I don’t love the $200/night incidental hold, as with a lot of other properties are usually no more than $50-$100/night or at least less than the cost of stay. (I think I paid $150 for the night) But I plan to be back as we are pass holders to universal.

We didn’t spend much time in our room so our stay at the Tilt was basically just a place to sleep and get ready. The room was clean and staff was great. The only thing that I didn’t care for was that the pool was too cold for us to get to use. Other than that all was pleasant.

The staff was so kind and helpful. The room was comfortable and spacious. We had a great amount of hygiene amenities provided as well as extra towels when needed. The beds were very comfortable and the mini fridge was spacious with a small freezer in it. The kids loved the indoor pool, the only negative is that the pool is supposed to be heated, but it was not heated. All in all it was a great stay.

Great walking distance to the park. We had an issue of the fridge in our room leaked all over the floor and was so wet inside it ruined all the food we brought for lunch. When we notified the front desk Jo real solution was provided it just kept being wet.

The bad thing about it is that you have to pay $25 a day for parking. The cleaning staff made the bed but did not leave towels or soap to shower. They did clean the mirror in the bathroom because what we wrote on it was still there when we took a shower again which makes you think they did not change our sheets or clean anything else. The room itself had a lot of wear and tear. We paid $500 for two nights which is more than what I believe the brooms are worth though the staff is very polite, at least the individual that greeted us.

Hotel was ok… clean. Employees were nice. Was definitely longer than a 13 min walk. If u r out of shape it’s a lot of up hill. Also early check in policy before 3 is ridiculous. Our company was hosting a holiday party that started at 3 so wanted to get settled before.. (but 25 bucks when we were there at 2:30) was harsh. It’s the rules but still some exceptions could be made.

The rooms and common areas are very clean and smell great, and the beds are soft and comfortable. The hotel appears nicely renovated overall, though the pool and spa are dated. Staff were kind and helpful, and the location is excellent—within walking distance to Starbucks, several good restaurants, and Universal Studios.
That said, noise is a major issue. The walls are extremely thin, and you can hear everything—loud TVs, crying children, and even a couple in the room above us that kept our family awake for about an hour. We were told there were only two floors, but the hotel actually has three, and we were placed on the middle floor. Being on the top floor likely would have helped, so I strongly recommend requesting it.
Maintenance was another concern. The shower drain was slow and flooded the tub, and the sink made loud, intermittent noises that were disruptive enough that we had to keep the bathroom door closed. The air conditioner is also loud and blows very forcefully. The rooms are somewhat dark, the windows do not open, and one window was not properly sealed, causing a cold draft in our child’s room.
Additional notes: the in-room phones do not work, USB ports are only in the bathroom (bring a charging cube), there are plenty of outlets, a small fridge, microwave, drawers, and closets are spacious.
Overall, the cleanliness really saved this hotel. It’s a good value if you’re on a tight budget, and our second night was quie
