Very small area for parking, room was clean, but bed hard, pillows to soft and walls are thin.
Safe parking, just a little tight spaces. Clean, and good staff. Walking distance is good alot of shopping.

You can tell they are making changes to their rooms but the basic things you get from other places are lacking. You do get a small bar of soap but not other things are not there like tissue, shampoo, conditioner or lotion. Also if you need Ice make to stop at the 7-11 near by since some rooms don’t have a fridge.
The space is clean and is great for just a night stay but I personally would not recommend for more than that.
There’s parking but if someone parks wrong then space is limited.
The staff interaction was basically check in and out nothing in between. They do not give you any information about the neighboring area.
The property Manager was friendly and attentive to all our requests, the room was cleaned and bed made daily by the staff and the location was minutes from Universal Studios which was nice. Will stay again when in the area.
Great location,. Room seemed recently refurbished. Fresh appearance inside.clean, new looking bathroom. Walking distance to many very nice restaurants and bars. Parking is extremely tight.
