Don’t tell you prices upfront, pool was filthy, WiFi is horrible, and the female receptionist completely lacked empathy. The male receptionists, proximity to highways, & cleaning staff are the only good things about the place. They don’t handle parking correctly because they’re too close to each other & cars park in multiple spots. I’m disappointed taking my kids to LA for the first time & they had to deal with this.

The rooms are generally clean, spacious, and comfortable. The staff is nice and welcoming. However, many facilities are too old, and since there are people playing loud music, the walls do not provide soundproofing, which may impact light sleepers. But other aspects are generally fine.

Booked for my 20 & 17 year old daughters after a concert. The room was nice but when they got there the hotel had sold all the parking spaces to people with multiple cars per room and the parking on the street ends at 8am usually and this particular night they were resurfacing the road so you could only park until 6am. Since they arrived at almost midnight, they called us panicking and we told them to park out front and get up before 6am and hope someone had left the hotel parking already. They had not, so my daughter drove around the side streets before 6am and found one that was 2 hour parking after 8am and went back to bed. They just made sure they were gone by 10am. The parking for the hotel is very small and so they should limit it to one car per room like other hotels I have been to do.

Well it’s an old property that they have done great job renovating but still feels old. More like a motel 6 kind of vibe. The place seemed like has lots of ‘local visitors”.

This was a great place to stay for a quick weekend getaway. The room was clean, comfortable, and overall a good value.

One thing to note is that parking can be very limited if you arrive after 9 PM, so plan accordingly. The room I stayed in did not have a desk, and there was only one mirror located in the bathroom, which made getting ready a bit challenging. There was also no electrical outlet in the bathroom, so I wasn’t able to blow dry or style my hair there. I ended up setting up near the mini fridge since that was the closest outlet available.

On the positive side, the bed was excellent. My boyfriend loved the firm mattress and said it was great for his back. I have to agree, it was one of the best nights of sleep I’ve had in a long time. The pillows were also incredibly comfortable. Overall, despite a few minor inconveniences, I would stay here again for a short trip.

Overall, this hotel was okay for a short stay. The rooms were clean and appeared to be somewhat updated, and the staff were excellent—friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit.

That said, there were a few drawbacks. The walls and windows seem extremely thin, and we could hear almost everything happening outside and in neighboring rooms. Noise was a constant issue, especially at night.

We were also concerned about the parking lot and overall security. Parking didn’t seem well regulated, and it appeared that people who weren’t guests were frequently using the lot. There were also a few transients coming through the property, which made the environment feel less secure than we’d prefer, especially while traveling with children.

While the staff made a positive impression, we probably wouldn’t choose to stay here again, particularly with kids.

Room 102 bed is extremely comfortable. The noise from the pool not sooo much. I’ve voiced my opinion about the tv not saying no signal and not displaying anything other then the news. I was told to toggle the button underneath the tv to tv so it’ll work and didn’t. I was provided the tv guide and the same “no signal”. I’ve figured if there are two desk agents and not willing to come to the room to check it themselves this problem is not going to get solved. No attempts were placed to the room to see if everything was taken care of. Not satisfied with a paid service by lazy front desk agents nor was provided a solution when asked if I could move to another room.

I was very pleased at the reasonable price and it is right near so many walkable things, the Sherman Oaks Galleria, there’s a 7-Eleven right nearby. This is an old motor hotel from the ‘60s so it’s only two levels and the walls can be a bit thin. Decor is slightly sparse, but it’s very clean and in a fabulous location and I recommend it.

Our room looked and smelled clean when we arrived. The (one) chair we had was a little worn. We had a cute red retro Frigidaire but no microwave or coffee maker. Not a deal breaker. The ladies I dealt with at the office we friendly and pleasant. BUT... when my husband got out of bed at 1 am, he stepped on a cockroach! And he said there were more, under the bed. He didn't tell me until 5am, thank God. I made the mistake of leaving my jeans on the floor, and sure enough, when I picked them up and shook them out, a cockroach felt out. A big black one. At that point we could not vacate the place fast enough. The woman at the desk was aware there had been these issues and mentioned they would get someone in to take care of it. But in the meantime we could not escape the feeling that there was something in our hair and anywhere else on our bodies. I understand that this area of town has lots of cockroaches, but, ugh!

My fiancé and I came and stayed for 2 nights while on a trip to universal studios. We got a season pass so we are trying to find a reliable hotel we can stay at whenever we come. Unfortunately our experience with the sojourn wasn’t great. For starters, the person who checked us in spoke like he didn’t want to be there or something I’m not sure, he just didn’t talk very professionally to us. Then, the room was okay, but not decorated the way they show in the photos, the only “retro” decor was a couple small pictures and two chairs. There is about a 2 inch gap under the front door, and the bathroom window didn’t lock or have a screen, it just slides open. Neither of our room keys worked after only one night. The shower was also extremely small. My fiancé is a plus size woman but she’s not huge, she’s about 260lbs, but she couldn’t comfortably shower in there shower. The toilet paper roll is also placed way too low and pushed against my leg the whole time I tried to use the bathroom and I ended up having to remove the roll to use it. There was also hardly any light in the room despite having multiple lamps and the walls were super thin. Just not a great stay overall.
