“ Looking for hotel recommendation near Universal ”
14 February 2012, 13:01

My daughter and three of her 20-something friends have asked me to find them a good deal on a hotel near Universal for Feb. 24-27. I can find plenty of "deals" listed, but my concern is finding a place that is both clean and safe, and somewhere they will enjoy staying at. They are college students on a tight budget. I would appreciate any recommendations you can give me.

Have a look at the Double Tree. It is within walking distance of Universal, clean, safe and comfy

The discount rates at the Doubletree were not available for the dates they want, but I appreciate the recommendation. Thanks.
