BLVD Hotel and Studios Universal-Hollywood, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Great hotel, very close to Universal ( 5 min walk to free shuttle that takes you up to the park). Wish pool was bigger and laundry room would be a big plus!

Everything was nice . They had nice rooms a pool . I liked it.

Place was nice close to Universal. Hurler the hallways and our room had a funny smell to them.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The pool was located within the garage and not outside. Really wasn't even a pool. There was a distinct sanitary order that literally choked us. Also had stacked parking where your vehicle could get locked behind someone else. Only good notes where the donut shop and pizza restaurant within walking distance. Otherwise do not stay here.

There is an additional charge per night that they surprise you with upon arrival so you end up paying more for a very bad room that looks nothing like the photos. The staff (besides bartender) are the rudest I have ever met. We got a room for 3 people and they gave us 2 drink tickets, told me I need to read the fine print on Expedia about the extra charges, and were extremely callous and unhelpful. We went up to the room, got to cities by the bleach , dirty carpet, stains in bathrooms , and turned around and checked out within 20 minutes. The ladies at the desk did not ask why we were leaving and checking out nor did they care.

Bartender are nice people. The elevator and hallway smelled weeds.

The hotel is right next to a freeway it’s way to Loud also we had to pay a convenience fee when ask what it was for they said for 2 drinks at bar and water in room I didn’t like that plus the rooms are very outdated and the ac control on wall don’t work we had to control it from the unit it self room was too hot I wouldn’t stay there again or recommend it

Ac unit was warm would not blow cold the unit was dirty and the vents were full of debris

I was not happy nor told of the surcharge fees and did not even use, other than that- everything was fine.

Not worth the $. Room not thoroughly clean. Dust build up on A/C and lights. A/C does not work on automatic and has a funny smell. Odor in hallway and rooms. Parking not included as advertised and water/coffee not complementary. DON'T RECOMMEND

21$ regular fee for basic services.

The room was decent, clean when we arrived, and felt like it was recently updated. I do think everything was spaced too far apart though. I couldn’t even reach the night stand while laying/sitting in bed. Parking could be done better, but I understand they are limited on space and are trying to use as much as possible. You’ll either be parking in a front space, which could possibly get blocked in by someone else. Or you’ll be the car blocking someone in, and if they can’t get you to move for that person you will be charged for “double parking”. Very close to Universal Studios, which was the reason for our stay.

2) the WiFi is garbage and desperately needs to be improved asap. On top of that for some reason our regular cell data did not work well in the building either. 3) we were only given: - decaffeinated coffee in the room - 3 bath towels and 1 wash cloth when we had 4 people registered staying in the room - existing stains on the bed sheets - we pressed the button to alert we wanted our room attended to that day, but nobody came The take away from this is the housekeeping doesn’t pay attention to detail and is a bit lazy 4) the hallway is super hot - why not leave it at a comfortable temperature to walk through? But the AC works well in the room. All in all, it’s a ok place to sleep with a comfy bed and lots of pillows.

Room are under renovation, additional 21$ fee is too much for service amenities

The room was clean, but a really bad mold, mildew odor, air conditioner not cold enough, and outlets very loose that we could not charge our cellphones. For the price, not even a continental breakfast. I needed a handicap parking and only 2 available and 1 taken by employee without a placard. I WILL NOT STAY THERE AGAIN.

Very nice cozy hotel close to universal studios

Great stay. Friendly staff and bartender. Quick walk to universal studios. Good close places for dinner or breakfast.

However the room's air conditioning did not work properly. Even when set to 60F, the room never got cold and we were sweating throughout the night. In addition, TV was not working during our stay. If the hotel can address the air conditioning problem, it would be a much better place to stay.

The room itself was average. It appeared somewhat dated and in need of updating, and the lighting throughout the room—particularly in the bathroom—was inadequate. We stayed for three nights, and on the morning of our third day, the elevator was out of service. Since we were on the second floor, using the stairs was not an issue for us personally. However, I was concerned about how guests with mobility limitations or other accessibility needs would have managed. The lobby is relatively small, but the adjacent seating and bar area is inviting and provides a more comfortable space to relax. There is also a small market available for convenience, though the prices were quite high. One thoughtful touch was the complimentary drink vouchers provided for the bar during happy hour. Unfortunately, we were visiting Universal Studios and returned after the 7:00 p.m. cutoff each evening, so we were unable to use them. Nevertheless, it was a nice gesture and appreciated. Overall, while there were some positives, the construction noise, outdated room condition, and elevator outage impacted our experience. I would rate this hotel a 6/10.
