The ONLY redeeming quality of this hotel is that it's the closest lodging (and a 10 minute walk) to Universal Studios. The lobby was under construction so there was no lobby. We had to check in via a movie theater type of window that was in the parking garage. Our room was small and dark. We had a view of... More

We booked this hotel because it is just 5mins away from universal studios. At that time it was a holiday inn express. Simple but ok breakfast. Room was good. Air condition was kinda weird, but we survived ;)

The hotel itself was very nice and clean. Our room was spacious enough for the four of us with two queen beds, a desk, a couple of chairs, dresser, nice... More

- No Hot Water. 3 nights. During any/each shower, at best, it would fluctuate between warm and barely warm to cool. One time it just turned completely cold. We told the front desk on the morning of day 2. Late on day 2 we came back, they said it was fixed. Yeah, right … not a chance. - Parking. Limited.... More

Great little hotel within walking distance of Universal Studios (approx. 10 mins walk). The place is exceptionally clean, the staff are friendly and the beds super comfy. For the location, the price is fantastic, and it includes free parking, free wifi and free breakfast (try the blueberry waffle mix). The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is that... More

Great location for Universal Studios, free parking and wifi also resonable rates which is hard to find in this area. Friendly staff and a great free breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, fresh fruit yogurt cereal. Very good value. Rooms nice size.

Stayed here - Mon-Weds. No Frills, although that is what I was looking for. The price was right. We only stayed here to sleep. Very good location to many attractions - Universal Studios, CBS Studios, Beverly Hills, Hollywood. Room was very nice and clean. Serves breakfast - it was ok.

I choosed this hotel because of the proximity of Universal Studios. Complimentary breakfast and parking was also a plus. The hotel was perfect, breakfast was ok (I liked the automated pancake maker). Service was very nice. And it was no propbleme to leave the car for the whole day on the last day: great !.
