I booked for my 19 yr daughter and wanted to use my card for deposit. I called the hotel and Robert was so helpful and allowed my daughter to use my card. They looked out for my daughter and made sure she had a safe night. Thank you Robert and the rest of the staff. Hotel is walking distance to Universal Studios so they were able to walk safely there and back.

Convenient location, clean room, comfortable beds. All the basics are covered well. Groceries, food joints within walking distance, parking spaces provided. Xavier was very helpful and fun to talk to. Needed to keep an eye on time, as there is no late check-in.

Staff were friendly and attentive and the check in/out was really easy. Parking was safe/gated. Breakfast was either a muffin or packaged oatmeal, but the hotel was walking distance to really good food of all kinds. We walked to and from Universal studios and Xavier even gave us a printed map to walk there from the hotel. There IS a free shuttle for part of the way (the steep part). We would stay here again.

Nice place with a helpful staff. They helped get rid of the ants by spraying my room. Ants were really bad. My daughter had some cough drops in her makeup bag. Her makeup bag had about 500 ants in it. Ant highways across the floor as well. I appreciated the help from the staff but they also said I shouldn’t have sweets in my room. Ummmm…. How about hiring pest control. I like snacks.

Fun quirky little space. Great proximity to a lot of awesome things. The handyman on properties particularly amusing. Had some issues with our shower, though, and the blinds in the room don’t close completely to block the enormous amount of light in the courtyard and drive space at night. Lost some of it’s gripping power over the years. Had to tape our blinds shut to sleep.

4/10 Fair

While the staff was helpful and friendly, the hotel leaves much to be desired. We were in LA during a hot and humid weekend. The air conditioner in our room functioned, but not at full capacity. It cooled the room slowly and did not have a fan setting which would have allowed us to blow in air for a bit to cool ourselves down after a hot day of adventuring. The worst part was an incessant buzzing in the walls. At first we thought it was cicadas. Then we thought there was an electrical issue because the sound would stop momentarily if we switched a light on or off. We wondered if it was a vent on the roof rattling, but never found the source of the noise. Unfortunately, the buzzing only happened at night when we were trying to sleep. The room was silent in the morning when we woke and would not return until after dark. We also experienced piles of garbage being left in front of the room. It appeared someone had been walking by when their trash bag burst open, but hadn’t bothered to clean up the mess. Do not recommend.
