8 Hotels With A Shuttle To Universal Studios Hollywood
We have been out-of-town Universal Studios Hollywood Annual Pass Members for several years now, and subsequently, we know that the best way to enjoy a day (or days) at this incredible theme park is to stay in a nearby hotel that offers a complimentary shuttle to the park.
It’s no secret that the traffic in Los Angeles is crazy, and Universal Studios Hollywood parking is expensive so staying in a hotel that offers a complimentary shuttle to the parks is not only easier, and more convenient but often cheaper too.
Better still, it’s not just high-end luxury hotels that offer a complimentary shuttle to Universal Studios Hollywood. Instead, you’ll find a variety of hotels offering this service.
