My room was clean and big enough for 3 people, with free ice available from the ice maker and a convenient Universal Studios shuttle. The hotel's location was excellent, with a supermarket opposite, in a cozy and quiet area close to the city center and Universal Studios, making it easy to access for intercity trips. However, the cleanliness was not up to my standard, with hair in the bathtub and dirty floors. I was unsure if the walls had been cleaned since the last paint job.

The hotel is a bit far from the reception, but the actual room was clean and very nice. I liked the smoke-free environment. The service was super friendly, even outside the hotel in the early hours of the morning. The location is great and has a touch of an old Hollywood hotel, plus it has its own bar which adds to the relaxing experience. The dining options were limited but delicious. Overall, a nice stay with minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers beautiful views from the room, but lacks soundproofing. The spotless rooms are a bit sparse on amenities. The service is friendly and helpful, although some customers found the breakfast staff inattentive. The location provides a throwback to 1960s southern California atmosphere and is great for reaching Beverly Hills and Universal Studios. The dining experience, while reasonable, is deemed overpriced. Facilities are well-kept and the atmosphere is welcoming.

The hotel has a cozy atmosphere with basic room furnishings that might feel a bit cold. While the noise from late-night conversations outside could be bothersome, the property's lush trees add a nice touch despite the noise extending until late hours. Jet lag can make it challenging to ignore the hollering until 10 pm.
