Area around it seemed unsafe. But while booking it showed pictures of the outsides looking like a little bungalow with its own parking spot, when we arrived they took us around to the other side of the property and it was more of a motel with random parking.

First time staying here and absolutely loved it and felt safe. I was traveling with my two children to universal studios. The walk is about 12 mins. Close places to eat and was convenient. Starbucks and Ralph’s was close by for snacks. Awesome sushi restaurant across the street. Place was awesome with car parking at no additional cost. Bed was just a bit uncomfortable but not a big issue. Gate closes at midnight and was awesome for safety. No noise and it was peaceful as we slept. Will definitely be staying here again.
