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

Enjoyed the room, very clean and updated. The best shower and bed I’ve slept in. Robert the owner was fantastic!
Owner is flexible and considerate with checkin-out times. He even helped me with my Lyft app since I was new to it. Great clean place and very affordable.
Their hospitality is always so amazing! They treat us well this being our second year going for HHN and staying close by. Just a simple hotel, but their kindness and hospitality makes it worth it. Thank you guys!
This is our second time staying here. It was a comfortable room, really good, friendly service. It was my birthday and they covered the bed in rose petals and left me a balloon, it made me feel really special and was so kind.
