Sheraton Universal

I was in Universal on a friend's birthday trip to Universal Studios Hollywood.  We opted for the Sheraton Universal, a large Sheraton right next to the the theme park and just a five minute walk up the hill.  The hotel is undergoing some massive renovations which were a bit of a pain, but clearly necessary to bring the dated hotel up to par. 

The staff was friendly, and even though it was quite busy, the packed Club Lounge still managed with the crowds and had some good offerings at both breakfast and dinner. 

I was upgraded to a large suite with a view over the pool.  The gym was quite good but the construction was a hassle as it caused part of it to be closed off.  The lobby seems done and quite nice now.  We ate at the downtown Universal area so I did not get to try the restaurant, but overall if you are in Universal the Sheraton was a great choice.
