"Check in very professional and quick, Rosie was kind and courteous, answered all relevant enquiries....coming in at evening was not aware how busy the Hotel was. Guess some big show was at Crypto"

Sheraton Universal Hotel

Sheraton Universal Hotel

8/10 Good

"I'm not sure what the designers of the room were going for. The bed and sofa were comfortable, but there were massive gaps of unused space without plug ins. The shower in the bathroom had no water retention, so our showers resulted in water flowing all over the tile floor, making it slippery. In retrospect, this may have been an accessible room, but having a slippery floor seemed counterproductive to the safety of someone who'd need it. In the end, we used this hotel for the proximity to Universal Studios. That seemed to be the only perk we found (in our case)."

"A beautiful, modern hotel with an excellent room and view. I loved happy hour downstairs but was hoping to spend more time on the rooftop bar, which was closed for part of my stay or didn’t have the happy hour prices. The hotel is right by the subway, which is perfect for those who need it. It’s a quick, clean commute to important sites and downtown. K-town is a cool place with the best food!"
