The condition of this property keeps getting worse and worse every time I stay there. The outlets inside the room frequently don’t work or are shorting out. The showers have very little water pressure and the knobs are falling off. What makes it even more frustrating is the prices of the rooms and the price for parking keeps going up significantly. So we’re paying more money for a worse experience.

I liked the location close to Universal Studios, about 5 min to the parking lot. The neighborhood is a little sketchy I was afraid to walk around. The room we were in had a horrible moldy-vinegary smell that really didn't go away until we turned the heater on to mask it. I walked around in slippers because the floors were sticky in places. I did like that there was cardio equipment for a quick workout. I liked that there was a bar although I didn't order any drinks. The shower was clean and had good water pressure. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner and soap because the ones they offer were not good. I don't think it was worth the $200/night price tag.

Location A1

Hotel is honestly in the perfect place for a quick visit to Universal. A short walk to a free shuttle. And tons of walkable eats nearby. Staff was pretty nice as well. Cons are the freezing cold pool located in the garage, most outlets in the rooms don’t work, no housekeeping (even though they ask when you’d like your room cleaned) and very outdated ac units in the rooms.

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 room had a stink, the furniture is very old and some drawers were broken. The heater/air conditioning unit is so old and loud. We packed our bathing suits as the kids were excited about the pool and when we arrived they told us the pool is cold therefore we couldn’t use it. I called the reception for help and I was on hold for 20 minutes no one would answer. Upon arrival they told us they have an additional $39 parking fee per night that wasn’t disclosed on the reservation. Paying $35 parking at universal studios plus another $39 for the car to sleep in their garage is a lot for anyone.

The bathroom wasn't clean. The shower floor was dirty. The toilet moved when you sit. The outlet didn't hold anything we plugged in. The hot water took awhile to warm up. Parking cost $34 a night plus a surcharge of $21.

We had a great two nights at BLVD for our family’s visit to Universal and other sightseeing nearby. We reserved a suite and loved having the extra room and couch area to spread out some. The room was updated and clean with comfortable beds and we were able to walk to the park shuttle. Thank you for a great stay!

A nice place; I would go back again

It was a nice, friendly stay. They have no food service. No breakfast. They are renovating so the I expect the upgrades will improve things. The bed was OK but the sheets didn't fit.
