I really liked it – the rooms are clean, there’s covered parking, there are places to eat nearby, and you can walk to Universal Studios or take an Uber, which cost us $9. I’d definitely stay there again.

My family of four stayed at the hotel if you’re planning on going to Universal Studios it’s a short 20 minute walk uphill suggest getting a lift or an Uber ride. If you don’t wanna walk a hill the hotel was OK. The pool was small. The staff was great. We had a great time. Hotel is recommended.

The staff are helpful and friendly, and the only reason this hotel gets any stars.
The lobby has an unbearably strong perfume smell. Like something died in there and they are trying to cover it up with perfume. Then you go to the elevator and it’s a different fragrance but equally overpowering. Stains all over the hallway carpet makes me think people puke there regularly.
My room was missing a couch. You could clearly see the outline of the missing furniture as evident by the discolored paint.
No cable just 5 analog channels. The pool is about the size of two jacuzzis, I have never seen a pool that small.

The hotel looks alot smaller then expected. Limited paid parking so you cant stay out to late. And its definitely not in the nicest neighborhood. Its good for the money but I wouldn't recommend it, and definitely wouldn't stay here with my kids. They do have free coffee and juice available all day. The staff was nice but the hotel looks old and more like a motel.

The hotel is clean, staff is professional and super nice. Rooms are clean and have comfortable beds. There is no coffee pot in the room
and no breakfast included. It’s close to Universal Studios. Please note, there is a parking fee of $27 dollars per night something that does not appear on their third party website. However, the parking was secure and was covered. Across the street there is a gas station, Starbucks, Thai Cuisine, Juice Bar & Cafe, Pizzeria and a small Food store. Next to it is a small picnic park. The area is very neat and safe. I highly recommend to drive to Universal Studios as it’s a little far walking and up a hill.

Get ready to pay almost double what the room is worth if you book in advance, plus almost $30 a night to park in a crammed tiny lot. Prepare for housekeeping to forget to do your room and then skip out when you ask them to do it. Prepare for some really weird attitude from the older guy at the front desk. I thought it was me, but other reviews confirm it. You have to walk over the freeway to get to universal, about 20 mins. Not worth it, never staying here again.

Hotel is in a good location in relation to Universal Studios. The hotel is clean, but could use some updating. Our room we booked was still not ready by the time we checked in which was close to 4pm. Staff also does not seem to answer their telephone when I attempted to call them using my cell phone and also when I tried to call the front desk with the room telephone.

I booked partially for the pool. It looked like a run down cave. The entire pool room was depressing. Immediately when you walk in to the hotel, there's a heavy air freshener. It is trying to cover up a stench I was never able to find, but it smelled terrible in our room. I had to sleep with the windows open. Not easy in LA. Rooms weren't clean. Socks were found under the bed at check in that weren't ours. Made me question the overall cleanliness. Between that and the airfreshener, I doubt there's much clean vs covered up. Carpet in stairwell was heavily stained.I also didn't appreciate being charged $25 for an early check in. I've never had a hotel charge for that. If the room was ready, great, if not, we wait. They also charged to store luggage, another new one for me. We opted to pay for early access. Was more of a motel vibe and experience than a hotel. I will never stay here again.

We had a good stay overall and the property worked very well for our family of five. We were given two connected rooms, which was a great setup for us. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, with two queen beds in one room and one king bed in the other, plus separate bathrooms, which made the stay especially convenient for a family.
Parking was easy and convenient, and the location was excellent for visiting Universal Studios Hollywood—only about a 6-minute drive away. There are also several small restaurants within walking distance.
A few areas could be improved. The only elevator serving the second and third floors was quite slow and felt more like a service/freight elevator. There was no breakfast offered, and the lobby amenities were minimal, with only a small coffee station and no comfortable seating area, so it did not feel especially welcoming as a common space.
Overall, the clean connected rooms, convenient parking, and great location made this a solid choice for families visiting the area.

Only “complaints” are: no one shared info about the pool & they kept our incidentals without reason & the ice container felt like it was going to break since it was plastic not metal.

This property is not what it seems to be. The pictures aren’t accurate. If I knew what I was getting myself and my family into I would have choose a different place to stay. The hotel gave a creepy vibe, like it’s haunted or people died in. It had a horrible smell in the hall way, in our room and in the main entrance. There is no laundry room to do laundry, our key didn’t work to get into the pool. Parking was expensive. The only plus side was we were able to walk to universal studios in 15 mins but the walking too was sketchy. The workers were really helpful and nice though.

This place was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I don’t love the $200/night incidental hold, as with a lot of other properties are usually no more than $50-$100/night or at least less than the cost of stay. (I think I paid $150 for the night) But I plan to be back as we are pass holders to universal.

My son got 10 bug bites on his back in the first hour just laying on the bed. No conditioner, so much noise above us! I could not sleep and just wanted to get through the night and get the heck out of there!!!’ I let the receptionist know when I checked out and she just apologized nothing more.

You will not be resting while staying here! It was like sleeping on the actual highway! There was a pair of homeless teens smoking in parking area of the hotel! The rating on this hotel was very high, you will be highly disappointed if you choose to stay here! You might be better off to spend the night in your car! Will absolutely never stay here again!

We booked this hotel because the close proximity to Universal Studios. We figured we would be able to walk to and from the resort, which you can, but it is not the best walking route along the busy highway.

Our biggest concern was our kids were complaining of bug bites that they received in the night. When we got home, we had to take our daughter to InstaCare because she broke out in hives from all the bites, and the doctor confirmed that it was from bedbugs.

This property is old, outdated, and looks nothing like the pictures listed. When we walked in there was a strong Scentsy smell that was likely covering up the issues in the building. When we got to our rooms there was a horrible odor that smelled like mold or something rotten. We had to have the hotel worker come to the room and check it out. There was nothing they could do to correct the issue. There was sticky juice stains on the door, water issues in the bathrooms. We ended up checking out and going to stay at a Hilton hotel. We were not able to be refunded and two rooms cost us $522. It was a wash and we ended up losing that money and having to go to a new hotel and pay again.
