We really enjoy staying at the Hotel. Hotel is very nice, clean and smells really good. Front Desk people are very nice, accommodating and very friendly. Area is walking distance to Universal Studio and City Walk. Free juice and coffee. Bed is comfortable and room is clean. My only complaint is that the room is too dark.

Jake at check in was fantastic and super friendly. He was fast and efficient. The hotel was in a great location. Close to everything we needed. The rooms and furniture in the rooms were showing lots of wear. Lots of rust on fixtures and furniture that needed updating. The hall had a large bleach spot. Overall would absolutely stay again in hopes some items get renovated.

The property itself is older and definitely shows its age. It smelled like someone smoking pot outside, but the hallway and rooms have a heavy perfume smell that was VERY strong. There was someone dumpster diving in the property's dumpster, and nobody seemed to care. Parking is stacked 2 deep, so the blocking vehicle needs to leave their keys at the front office so they can move your car as needed. The hotel is located next to a freeway, so there is a lot of vehicle noise - that can't be helped, but if you're a light sleeper, you might want ear plugs or some form of white noise.

Not the best experience

To start the romote did not work. There was a distinct smell and we found a cockroach in the room. The pool was small and felt stuffy and had a weird smell. Sticky floors all around. Luckily the staff member wasnl happy to cancel our reservation.

I stayed at the Tilt Hotel Universal/Hollywood for a quick trip to Universal Studios, and overall, it hit the mark for what I needed. The location was the biggest win—just under a mile from the park. You can technically walk it, but it’s uphill and a bit of a haul, so I ended up using rideshare most of the time. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The Hollywood-themed décor gave it some character, and the bed was surprisingly good. Staff were friendly and helpful across the board—they made check-in easy and handled a couple of minor requests quickly. I appreciated the free Wi-Fi, bottled water in the morning, and the in-room microwave and fridge. There’s also a small indoor pool, though I didn’t use it. Now for the downsides: there’s no free breakfast, which was a little disappointing given that some listings suggest otherwise. Parking also isn’t included—it was around $25 a night. Not a deal-breaker, but something to factor into your budget. Noise from upstairs could carry a bit due to the hard floors, but it wasn’t constant. Turn on the air conditioner, thin walls are not noticed after that. In short, the Tilt isn’t luxury, but it’s a solid, convenient option if your goal is to hit Universal Studios and have a clean, quiet place to crash nearby. I’d stay there again.

Good overall

Was good over all. Cons $30 parking it would of being ok if I was notified ahead of time. Weird smell on the elevator, no breakfast which was not a big deal but advertised online, and kind of dirty hallway. Pros Clean room and comfortable beds.

This hotel is pretty small. We booked it because it's within walking distance to Universal. Each area has a different smell(Lobby, Hallways, Room). I didn't mind, but my family didn't like it. Once on our floor, there was little torn up pieces of paper and some minor trash on the carpet outside our room. When we came back the next day, 80% of it was picked up. Was kinda odd it didn't all get cleaned up. The room was decent. Half the plugs/outlets didn't work. Luckily I bring a power strip to assist. The beds felt comfy at first, then waking with back pain was fun. haha You can hear people walking around above you all night. Which was kind of odd that you would hear it at random late hours. 12a to 3-4a. We stayed for day. The room/beds were made the first day. But nothing on Saturday. I'm sure there's fine print somewhere stating you have to request it on the weekends. Only wish I knew that as we threw our towels on the floor and didn't have any fresh towels the next day. =( I feel the hotel isn't really worth the $1000 for 3 days, plus the parking fee. Not sure why most CA hotels charge for parking now days when they're already getting a hefty price for the room. It would be cool to see a breakfast included. The elevator is a little sketch too. I'm a big guy, so when it dips down a couple inches when entering, it's a little worry-some. Because I don't want to be stuck in there and it makes some weird noises. Internet was splotchy during peak times as expected.
