Convenient location, clean room, comfortable beds. All the basics are covered well. Groceries, food joints within walking distance, parking spaces provided. Xavier was very helpful and fun to talk to. Needed to keep an eye on time, as there is no late check-in.

The room had air-conditioning that worked good and it was overall clean. But it literally is just a basic room. Beds were comfortable and pillows and the shower was really nice too. Adding a folding luggage holder would be wonderful. Also clearer room descriptions would improve check in and booking. Despite some booking issues, staff made things better and was helpful. They are very kind.

Staff were friendly and attentive and the check in/out was really easy. Parking was safe/gated. Breakfast was either a muffin or packaged oatmeal, but the hotel was walking distance to really good food of all kinds. We walked to and from Universal studios and Xavier even gave us a printed map to walk there from the hotel. There IS a free shuttle for part of the way (the steep part). We would stay here again.
