Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Universal City cost?
Budget hotel prices in Universal City vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $100 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Universal City is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Universal City, areas just outside the immediate theme park vicinity, such as parts of Studio City or North Hollywood, will offer more affordable hotel options. While Universal City itself is geared towards premium experiences, venturing slightly further afield can yield significant savings without sacrificing convenience.

Studio City, located just across the Hollywood Freeway, provides a pleasant, accessible base. It offers a range of motels and smaller hotels that are often more competitively priced than those directly adjacent to the theme park. From here, you can easily access Universal City via a short bus ride or ride-sharing service, or even a brisk walk if your accommodation is closer to the border.

North Hollywood, a bit further out but still well-connected, is another excellent choice for solo travellers seeking value. This neighbourhood is a hub for public transport, including the Metro Red Line, which provides direct access to Universal City/Studio City station in minutes. North Hollywood features a diverse array of budget-friendly hotels, hostels, and extended-stay options.
When is the most affordable time to visit Universal City?
The most affordable time to visit Universal City is generally during the off-season, specifically in late January, February (excluding President's Day weekend), and September. These periods typically see fewer crowds and lower prices for accommodation and flights.

Solo travellers will find that visiting during these quieter months allows for a more relaxed experience at the theme parks, with shorter wait times for attractions. This can be particularly appealing for those who prefer to explore at their own pace without the hustle and bustle of peak season. You'll also likely find better deals on single occupancy rooms.

For couples, travelling in the off-season provides a more intimate atmosphere. Many hotels offer reduced rates, and you'll find it easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants or enjoy the Universal CityWalk atmosphere without large crowds.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Universal City with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Universal City. Unlock our lowest prices by joining One Key™, Expedia's travel rewards program. It's free and easy to sign up, and you can access member perks too. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Universal City?
While Universal City is primarily known for its paid attractions, solo travellers can still find a few enjoyable, free activities to experience. The most prominent free option is exploring Universal CityWalk, an entertainment complex brimming with shops, restaurants, and vibrant street performers.

Wandering through CityWalk offers a lively option without requiring a purchase. You can browse the unique storefronts, enjoy the music emanating from various venues, and simply soak in the energetic ambiance. It's a great spot for people-watching and experiencing the buzz of the area, particularly in the evenings when the lights illuminate the promenade.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Universal City as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Universal City for you.
