Our room wasn’t made up once during our stay rubbish stayed in room for 3 days had to ask for towels. We had two sets of headphones go missing from our room and when I emailed I never received a response at all. Could hear people walking up and down the hallway all night doors opening and closing, noisy from the highway. We felt quite unsafe in this accomodation. Microwave, coffee machine didn’t work at all.

The hotel wasn't horrible. However, it was under construction and we didn't get warning until after it was too late to change or cancel reservation. We had some strange plumbing issues and staff had to over the instruct us on how to fix the shower. It also had hidden fees. They did not take a deposit, which was nice, but there was an additional fee for parking and another weird service fee of 20$. So be prepared to pay another 55$ minimum out of pocket. They also made it sound like Universal Studios was in walking distance. This is not the case. It is over a 20 minute walk to the park. They did let us know that there is a shuttle you can walk to that is a little closer that would take us to the park, but they don't offer any shuttle services themselves. All in all it wasn't a bad hotel, but I think with hidden fees, not being in walking distance, no shuttle and the construction going on, I would have paid even a tad bit more to be at a different hotel. I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly bummed about this hotel. Next time we will book with someone else.

A great location but overpriced and misleading

Stayed for a couple of nights. Why do you have a service charge, this part is a money grab as you pay for something that your accomodation fee should include. This fee is absolutely a waste of money. It is a great location for universal and a 5 minute walk to the free shuttle bus and to the metro to take you straight to Hollywood…you don’t need an uber…also how about you tell everyone BEFORE you pay big money for accommodation for a place that is undergoing renovations rather than asking for forgiveness AFTER you pay for the accommodation you are selling on the sites… this is misleading and dishonest… you need to do better…also you hallways are putrid get them steam cleaned.

Everything at this hotel was falling apart. The showers didn’t work very well. There were chairs that were broken and some of the lamps didn’t work. At the prices they charge the upkeep is simply unacceptable.

The maintenance and upkeep of this property is unacceptable. If the rooms were half of what they are charging now, it would probably be worth it, but it is not worth it at the prices that they charge.

I'm not sure how Expedia gave 3.5 stars to this property. Rooms were below average, more like motel rooms. Photos uploaded on Expedia are deceptive. Very few amenities. Property deserves 3 or maybe 2.5 stars so that people can take proper decision based on ratings/prices before booking the place. Parking was easy. Very close to Universal if someone is planning to visit.

We paid good money to stay in a hotel that was fairly close to Universal Studios. We expected to have a couch with two beds so our family could all sleep comfortably. We got into our room and there was chipped paint, dirty bathroom floor, the furniture had been taped together, the outlets didn’t have covers on them. When we went downstairs to eat breakfast, there wasn’t a decent breakfast option- there was a convenience store with terrible gas station food for us ago PURCHASE (after already spending $500 on two nights to stay) and just a tiny coffee carafe for us to serve ourselves. We wanted to relax by the indoor pool and it wasn’t heated nor was the pool area.. and it was about 45 degrees- so going into a cold pool at night was not what we hoped for. The lobby was clean and the staffing was nice at the front desk but I will not be staying there again. Not to mention there were homeless people all around.
