Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel was a mix of tourist and very 'LA', offering clean and comfortable rooms with very helpful staff. The location provided the convenience of easy access to Park and Citywalk.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, offering a nice sitting area for relaxation. The service was friendly and accommodating, with helpful recommendations and upgrades. The location was convenient for access to Universal Studios but had some minor drawbacks. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities met my needs.
The hotel rooms were surprisingly comfortable and well-appointed, but the view was lacking. The service had some hiccups, and the location, although convenient, had some drawbacks. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a kitchen lacking some basic amenities, but the parking is convenient with lovely views. The service was mixed, with friendly staff but some unhelpful interactions. The location is excellent for accessing the metro and Universal Studios, although there were some issues with homeless individuals nearby. The dining options were limited, but the hotel is close to various attractions and transportation hubs.
The hotel was a lovely place for a family of 3 with nice and spacious rooms, a warm and friendly service, and a convenient location close to Universal Studios. However, the dining experience was a bit of a hassle. The overall value for money was satisfactory.
The hotel had spacious rooms with useful amenities like a microwave and large refrigerator, but the aesthetics felt unfinished with dim lighting. The service, especially from the bar staff in the parking garage, was excellent, and they even recommended a great Italian restaurant nearby. The location was convenient, being walking distance to the shuttle for Universal Studios Hollywood. However, the actual appearance did not match the website's fresh pictures, feeling neglected and run-down. The dining experience offered a small convenience store with decently priced snacks and included morning delivery past Subway. Additional positives were the proximity to Universal Studios and the convenient store snacking option; negatives included the neglected appearance and unmet personal service expectations.
