The only good thing that I can say is that it’s easy to get to Universal Studios from this place and it’s not far at all. However, the bedsheets weren’t replaced, there was mold around the shower door, there was dirt and grime on the shower walls and the floor wasnt swept.

Proximity to Universal Studios & shops & restaurants is a big plus. Room & amenities were good, bed was clean & comfortable. Parking was ok. It would be nicer to have more accessible power outlets & a facility to charge mobile phone at the bedside table. Having to go to a sister hotel a mile away for late check-in (past 9pm) is a definite inconvenience when one is already tired from a long drive but staff was helpful.
