Great location for Universal, nice hotel
We stayed one night as part of a trip to universal. 
The hotel is nice and modern, very clean with good communal spaces. It is perfect for a trip to universal studios and we walked to the entrance and the city walk rather than use the free shuttle.
The staff were really helpful both on arrival and check out when we arrange a safety deposit for the day ahead of our leaving LA. 
Our room was on the 20th floor with great views over the Universal Studios and beyond to the mountains. The room was big, clean and comfortable. There was very little noise so we had a good nights sleep. 
Breakfast was fine - nothing special but perfectly acceptable. We didn't have time to use the pool, it was spring break in the US and did look a little busy. I think I would like to stay in one of the low rise rooms around the pool if I stayed again.
We used the self-park which was really really close so no issues walking. The front desk have vouchers for some of the restaurants in the city walk.
