We had to pivot or spring break plans last minute due to road closures in Big Sur. We ended up going to Universal Studious and staying at this Hilton. Our vehicle didn’t fit in the parking garage and the Hilton staff comped us valet parking. This hotel is perfect walking distance to the park, we had a great experience.

The staff are amazing, the property itself is dated, needs a refresh. Check in at Hilton in Vegas and this one is brutal, app did not work, fly for hours, then spend an hour checking in. Vegas was really bad, this one was about 20mins. Buffet is really expensive 150pp. Overall great job by the staff, not many options around the park.

The staff at the property was good. Not great but good. The issues I had with it is when we got into the room the bathroom had hair in the shower, there was an empty bodyarmor drink by the curtains and the room appearance was not that great. There were some stains toward the bottom of the bed sheets as well. The shower did not work well, the water was not hot at all, the pressure was good tho. Another issue is after each person showered there was a lot of water that got into the main bathroom floor. The shower curtain was inside the shower so Im not sure why the water was going onto the main bathroom floor so easily. We had a late flight out and they held our luggage for us which is standard with for most hotels but we werent able to access the pool anymore. In my experience with other hotels they let you use their pool or amentities if they have them available. Also they had a nice sitting area in the lobby which is great but if you need to charge your phone or ipad by them (they are in the furniture) the outlets are so loose that they dont work.
