Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
A basic, classic hotel that was clean with comfortable beds. The rooms and parking were small/ tight but good four our family of four’s road trip stay in our mid sized SUV. Onsite parking would difficult to impossible for a full size SUV or pickup. The hotel’s location was great with close by amenities including access to Universal Studios.
The property was clean, room was nice - there really isn't much amunities and parking is a real problem - they have more rooms than parking spaces so you are crammed in and might park on the street - other than parking, was very good - - -

It worked for the price, we were going to Universal Studios so it was nice and close. They REALLY need to get new mattress, felt like the bed had a hole in the middle and springs sounded like there were gonna snap every time you move
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.
Safe parking, just a little tight spaces. Clean, and good staff. Walking distance is good alot of shopping.

Clean room, when checking in friendly staff, we stayed 2 nights and house keeping did not clean the room was unaware we we needed to request it so last day to check out we had to go to lobby and request clean towels so we could shower. Yes parking a bit of a tight squeeze but manageable we have a mini suv, overall great location not to far from universal studios, clean room upon arrival.
We didn't stay. The place is not suitable for families. I wish I didn't have to write this but if can prevent another mother and kids from being stranded
