It’s about a 20-minute walk to Universal Studios—you go under the highway and then up a hill. You can walk, bike, or scooter there. Our room had a kitchen, but it was completely empty—no dishes, cookware, or tableware. We had to request everything and then wait for it to arrive. We chose this hotel mainly for the location (close to Universal) and the option to cook, but the area itself isn’t great. Still, if you’re going to Universal Studios, you save quite a bit by staying here.
