With its convenient location right within the Universal City Walk and just outside the JR station, the Keihan Universal City Hotel is one of the best bargains in the area. My reason for staying there was not because of its convenience to Universal Studios, but rather to attend a wedding at the nearby Arc en Ciel Wedding facility. I was very impressed by the hotel's breakfast buffet which offered a wide variety of both Western and Japanese breakfast foods. The rooms were clean, large and well equipped. I was able to use my computer with its LAN access as well as store my beverages in the refridgerator. Another plus were the hotel channels which offered 2 Universal movies non-stop from 3 pm-11 am. (I enjoyed watching the classic "Jaws.") The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. Even though I stayed at the hotel by myself, I noticed many family rooms with the Woody Woodpecker theme which I'm sure would be a delight for families and children. Although there are several hotels in the same area, I definitely think the Keihan is an excellent choice for your money.

- Restaurant Tip : Almost all of the restaurants and facilities in the Universal City Walk and the hotels close at 9 or 10pm. Don't plan on any late night dining in this area, even on a Saturday night!
