The room was what I expected for the price. It is just an old building with small bathrooms. The room did has a scent that took a bit to remove as we needed to open up windows and doors. Nothing spectacular about this hotel. But was worth the price paid.

We got booked in room 227. The room had a weird smell that hit you as soon as you walked in. We saw ants near the sink, shampoo was not refilled both days, I saw roaches in the outside of the building (thank goodness not inside). Parking was a challenge, both nights we stayed there was someone occupying our parking space (in front of our door). They have a note in one of the tables stating that if we find any broken things or anything malfunctioning to notify immediately and to make sure we lock our doors and don’t answer the door unless we are completely sure of who it is. I let them know right away that the latch from the door leading to the balcony was completely missing, there was no way to secure the door. High winds could have easily opened the door, that’s how unsecured it was. The guy that responded to my call acted surprised to hear about the door and told me it would get fixed the next day. The next day when we returned from our adventures in the afternoon I went to front desk and asked about the door and the lady at front desk said it was going to take a while to get fixed and didn’t seem to care much about the issue. It was evident that the door has been with a broken doorknob for a while. Almost looked like if part of the doorknob had been removed to replace another one. Hopefully door gets fixed soon.

Great accommodation. Exactly what we expected for the price we paid.
Just 10 mins from Universal Studios Hollywood and 15 mins from the Walk of Fame, this hotel was a fantastic location!

Whilst parking onside is $10 per evening, we parking right outside on the road where parking is free between 8am and 8pm. We were always out before 8am and back late.

Shower was good and bed were really comfy.

Would definitely stay here again!

Do not book here. Checked in went to out room and upon opening the door had a heavy smell of weed, which I have an allergy to. Instantly started getting a headache and feeling nauseous as did the other person in my party also smelled it. Went back to the front desk and was told they we sold out so I asked for a full refund as I could not stay there. Front desk told me the room had just been cleaned and the smell must be coming from upstairs the the room couldn’t smell like weed. Again said that may be true but the smell was there and for medical reasons I can’t stay in that room. Was asked to sit down well she made a call came back and proceeded to get me another room which was the room right Next door. Told staff that that was not going to work as if the smell was indeed coming from upstairs that that room would have the same issue. They asked me to just go try it so we went to open the door and again same problem. Staff got aggravated with me and said the rooms were both cleaned and no one had stayed in the second room for a few days. Said at this point you’ve told me your sold out please just give me a full refund so I can go find another hotel. Was told I booked through a 3rd party and would have to contact them said fine and asked them to refund the incidentals they had just charged my credit card. Which took staff a 5 minute text message before she did it. Called Expedia to get a refund only got less then half because motel it saying I stayed 1 night. Which I didnt.

The facility looked really old. In the room, the wall paper was peeling and the carpet looked so well worn; not necessarily dirty but also not clean so I decided to not take my crocs off the whole time in there. I also wasn’t sure about the bathtub— everything about the bathroom felt dingy— so I wore my crocs while showering too. Corners of the bathroom needed a good scrub and dusting. The bed looked clean and it was comfortable. The staff weren’t rude but they weren’t nice either. It was affordable and close to tourist things.

I quite liked this place. It is clearly old, but they keep it clean. The pool looked really nice, though I never took the time to jump in. There is a layer of \"dinge\" on most things, but I think it gives the place character more than anything, because it seems to just be from age, not lack of cleanliness. The walls are pretty thin. I could hear every cough by my neighbor. Don't go in with outrageous expectations, and you should have a good stay.
