Considering a stop at Universal on our way down to DLR next summer. Which hotel should we stay at to be able to walk over?
We're checking out the Hilton & the Sheraton this weekend.
Thanks for the input!We stayed at the Hiltonthis summer. The rooms were really nice. The location was perfect for Universal. We did walk back and forth because we had a toddler in a stroller and it was easier than getting on the shuttle. We will definitely stay there again.

I'd love for our DLR podcast crew to talk a little about Universal Studios Hollywood now and then like they touch on Knotts or Six Flags.
Mary Jo and I both have annual passes now. I'm hoping we can get some USH content on the show very soon.
The Beverly Garland on Vineland has a trolley shuttle. Walkable down a different hill than the Hilton and Sheraton is a Clarion Inn. Though, after a long day, that one could be hard! I've had family members stay at both and the Beverly Garland is very nice. The Clarion was just okay when my family stayed there, but it was a Holiday Inn Express at the time. It was fine for just a place to sleep.
Universal Hollywood is really a 1/2 day park only. (unless you go when its really crowded with long lineups ) So i would suggest you just stay at the hotel closer to Disneyland, and then just travel to Universal one day as a break from DLR.
Thanks for the report. Sounds good!We stayed at the Beverly Garland a couple of weeks ago and it was very nice! We drove up from DL and went directly to Universal then to the hotel in the evening so we did not use the shuttle but we saw a bunch of people that did and they seemed happy with it. The rooms were great - beds were super comfy.

I agree Universal is a 1/2 day visit so a drive up the 5 and back from DL is easy.
