We try to stay here every time we come to universal studios… at least 2-3 times a year. We originally chose it for the proximity, but we keep coming back because we love it. The rooms are always clean, the beds are always comfy, the guys that work there are great! We will definitely keep coming back

I would never stay here again. Extremely small room, just a bed with no room to walk around. The room smelled damp and musty. There was a broken down car and tons of trash behind our room. Zero amenities. Pay the extra dollars to stay at the Garland. This place is NOT a hotel!
