Very convenient location for our visit to Universal Studios. The hotel is clean. Room had renovated and spacious bathroom. Interesting posters on the walls throughout the hotel. But hotel is just OLD. You can immediately smell that old building scent. The room had very old carpet, maybe if they replaced that one it would have been better. Tiny window. Old A/C which could not cool down the room really well. Overall worked Ok for us to spend a quick night. Would not stay there again. Oh, and I actually forgot that it supposed to offer some VIP perks to us due to Expedia status. None were offered. Based on the pictures, the hotel does have the rooms that looks newer.

Hotel was fairly priced for a decent location. You are not in the heart of the action but a very short drive to any of the main attractions nearby. The room was clean but basic, the lobby area was pretty cool with lots of Hollywood memorabilia and the staff were very friendly especially the daytime valet. If you’re looking to save some money on price from the big chain hotels closer to the attractions but still be close enough to get around the main parts of LA, this is a great option.

The welcome at the front desk was very unpleasant. He didn’t want to answer my questions and only said what he wanted to say. His behavior was very unprofessional and unkind. Overall, the stay was okay.

We loved it! The location was perfect for our needs. The staff was kind and helpful. We enjoyed the cafe attached, and love looking at the collection of celebrity photos and signatures. They had a sewing kit to help us repair my nieces dress before our show at the Pantages. I would stay here again.
