We stayed 3 nights and it was a clean and comfortable stay. Pleasant management. Close to universal studios and many restaurants and shops. Planet Fitness too! Fridge and microwave were a benefit to have. A+

Staff was very accommodating and allowed us early check in since we were going to Universal Studios for the Halloween special event. Place was older but has been recently upgraded and they did a really good job. Not the Ritz but if you just need a nice clean place to sleep while in LA. Worth the price. Only about 2 minutes from Universal.

We stayed at this hotel bc we went to Halloween horror nights at universal. The main issue is parking. The lot is so tight that forget about parking anything larger than a crossover or
Just a place to sleep, nothing special. It was clean and front desk was helpful. Parking was not easy cause the lot is very small so if you have a big vehicle it’s going to be a problem.

You can tell they are making changes to their rooms but the basic things you get from other places are lacking. You do get a small bar of soap but not other things are not there like tissue, shampoo, conditioner or lotion. Also if you need Ice make to stop at the 7-11 near by since some rooms don’t have a fridge.
The space is clean and is great for just a night stay but I personally would not recommend for more than that.
There’s parking but if someone parks wrong then space is limited.
The staff interaction was basically check in and out nothing in between. They do not give you any information about the neighboring area.
The property Manager was friendly and attentive to all our requests, the room was cleaned and bed made daily by the staff and the location was minutes from Universal Studios which was nice. Will stay again when in the area.
Great location,. Room seemed recently refurbished. Fresh appearance inside.clean, new looking bathroom. Walking distance to many very nice restaurants and bars. Parking is extremely tight.
