Reviews and Ratings
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.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and comfortable, making it a top choice for me. Despite some noise from people coming in and out of the nearby door, I found the cleanliness exceptional. However, the issue of smoking in a designated non-smoking room was a downside.
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 had clean and spacious rooms with a lovely balcony, but the proximity to the AC unit or laundry was a drawback. The service was very friendly overall, though they forgot some amenities like soap and shampoo. The location was superb, especially for exploring Studio City and nearby attractions. The dining experience was fantastic but on the expensive side. The facilities were top-notch but lacked a fridge or microwave in the rooms.
The hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were super clean but noisy due to single-pane windows, making it challenging to rest well. The service was exceptional with helpful and friendly staff, although the renovation interfered with the overall stay. The location was welcoming with refreshing amenities, but the loud music in the evening was a drawback. The dining was reasonably good but on the expensive side. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
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.
The hotel had some positive aspects like efficient and friendly service and a beautiful location in Studio City, but it lacked certain amenities in the rooms and the dining experience was not up to par. The throwback atmosphere and proximity to Universal Studios were highlights, but the outdated appearance and limited dining options were drawbacks.
Upon arrival, the room was tidy, but the walls had no mini-fridge or microwave, and cleanliness did not meet my standard with hair in the bathtub and dirty floors. However, the staff were helpful, informative, personable, and accommodating despite disturbances outside the hotel. The location was convenient with its own bar, but issues with noise and malfunctioning room keys were present, affecting the overall experience. Dining was cold and overpriced. The hotel had some positive aspects like beautiful surroundings and amenities with some negatives like issues with noise and malfunctioning keys.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had some issues with construction noise and an unpleasant odor, but the privacy provided by the banana trees was a nice touch. The service varied between robotic and helpful. The location was convenient but needed some maintenance attention. The dining experience was cold but delicious. The facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient and close to Universal Studios and a variety of restaurants, but the room I stayed in had some serious drawbacks. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff members being helpful while others were not as accommodating. The dining experience left much to be desired with some items being cold and not up to standard. Overall, there were positives and negatives to consider when staying at this hotel.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the view to a lower roof gave it an industrial feel rather than a typical hotel atmosphere. On the upside, the rooms were in good condition, clean, and provided a comfortable stay.
The entrance of the hotel wasn't as nicely finished as expected, and there was a courtyard behind where people gathered to drink, making it necessary to keep the blinds closed. However, overall, the experience was good. The room had typical facilities and services found in most motels, and there was a provision to store valuables securely in the room.
The hotel had both its positives and negatives. It was a bit disappointing that the rooms, listed as non-smoking, still had a stale smoke smell. The noise level from other guests made it hard to relax, especially after a long flight. However, the parking was convenient, and the hotel had a very cold atmosphere, which may not suit everyone.
The hotel is conveniently located for visiting Beverly Hills and Universal Studios, with a good pool and clean surroundings. However, I felt excluded from some of the events happening there, making it less welcoming for paying guests.
