The staff at the front desk was very spillable and friendly. Our only complaint is that the rooms have a strong smell of cleaning product.

This was a great place. The onlything was the LED lights. I appreciate the safety bu the wooden shutters dont block out the light and it was hard to sleep, as I like my room super dark

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.

This property was is so cute, when I checked in Robert was there to greet me and he is the sweetest ever! although they don't have breakfast they do have pastries available in the morning. But, if that's not your jam they are not far away from other eateries. I will definitely book with them again. Thank you guys for making this family vacation with my girls one to remember :)

Parking was small, but free, staff were very very friendly. Rooms are very very clean. The only problem no closet. I would recommend in bathroom area some hooks or a pole to hang some clothes. Other than that loved it.
