Everything was good. It's too bad the pool wasn't in service, which was one of the main reasons we made the reservation. My family was also disappointed, too.

Horrible check in experience, no water pressure in the shower and toilet was clogged. Only benefit was location is close to City walk and universal studios.

Parking is a little weird. They have mostly double slots and we were concerned about being blocked in because we were leaving early but they had someone at the desk & said if someone blocks you in they keep their keys to move if needed.

Clean comfortable stay close to universal studios but if you walk there it’s up a pretty decent hill but trams are available a short 5 min walk from hotel. The Italian food place down the street is really good would definitely recommend trying it

It’s a very cute hotel and was close to the venue we needed to go to. The beds were uncomfortable, as were the pillows. Only the hand shower attachment worked in the shower and the water was scalding hot.

First off let’s start with the good. It’s close like walking distance to universal. Which is why we picked it and it’s very clean. Now that being said the “shuttle” you have to walk to. It’s not something that comes to the hotel like I thought. Also charging 55$ a day to park your car! Is crazy to me! Like on top of already staying. There the extra charge is just something I never. Would’ve thought would be extra smh. For sure we will stay somewhere else after spending. A little over 1400 you would think I could park my car there. That would all be included in everything. The staff was very sweet and our stay was decent. Just irritated about the whole care thing to be honest.

For a 3.5 star hotel I was not impressed. They are in the middle of renovations and it is obvious why. For the daily rate it was tacky at best. It’s old and although the room was “clean” the walls and furnishings are worn out. Very sparse accommodations.

'Walking distance to Universal' is a stretch. We did walk, but more than half of the walk is up a steep hill. Right before check in, I got an email saying the rooms are under renovation so they don't look like the pictures. The room was very bare, which is fine, but everything seemed cheaply done. The bathroom was sort of updated though the cabinets were well worn and bashed up. In short, we paid WAY too much for this room. It should be around $100/night and we paid triple that. The staff was nice though. Maybe once it's renovated it will be worth staying there?

It was is walking distance to Universal Studios shuttle bus. And a couple of restaurants. Had the double queen suite plenty roomy. Could use some touch ups are far as appearances.Like the lamp in my room was damaged but they still left it in the room and the tile work in the bathroom needs some help, beds were very squeaky. No ice maker on the second floor so i had a little journey for ice. Lots of traffic noise and traffic in front of the building. If i stayed agin i would upgrade to the presidental suite. And ask to be on the 3rd floor. We were lucky enough to find a single parking spot so we didn't have to double stack park and leave the keys with the front desk but because of the traffic and parking we decided to walking so we wouldn't have to deal with it.

On the website it said cots were available, but when we got there, they said our room was too narrow for one. This was not listed anywhere on the website. We requested extra blankets and pillows to makeshift a bed. We were given extra blankets, then they said they would go get pillows and be right back. They never came back, so we went downstairs to ask again. The woman was rude and said they didn't have any extra pillows at all on the whole property. The next morning around 8am, however, room service was happy to give us 4 extras.
Room was smaller than we thought. We recieved an email only after checking in saying that the room would look different from pictures because of a remodel, which was misleading. The room was not super clean and the bathroom door opened into the front door.
Of the amenities listed on the website, there wasn't a "deli" nor a "cafe" on site. I also didn't see a 24-hour fitness center. The pool was locked and in the parking garage. The in-house store charged $7 for a bottle of water. For a tip, there is a Ralph's market just two blocks down. Shop there instead to avoid more price gouging.
For $300 a night, you would think it would be nicer. It is honestly probably considered false advertising, but I'm not a professional on that front.
The only positive was the proximity to starbucks (since they didn't have a cafe on site) and Universal Studios.

Checkin was weird. After checking in we had to wait for the front desk to run up and physically check if our room was ready. Took 25 min that it was “ready” we got there around 530pm. The pool was freezing cold. Rooms were dark going for a modern look but missed the mark. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and the bartender was great. Not the staffs fault but I felt they were understaffed and hotel process not managed correctly by owners.

Spent 875 dollars for two nights to enjoy horror nights. Arrived to find out parking wasn’t free it’s 30 dollars per night. Also the parking stalls are really inconvenient, two cars per lane and the person who blocks you in has to leave their keys at the desk. Or if you don’t block someone in someone will block you in and you have to have staff move their car. Again this is 30 bucks a night parking, doesn’t come with the 875 for 2 nights. Bar was closed the majority of the time I was there. Toilet got clogged from poor maintenance I’m sure. Showers had extremely low water pressure and the tv was very difficult to figure out being that it didn’t have a guide or menu. Also on my last morning there the person in the room above me was walking back and forth pacing in the room and it felt like an earthquake in my room not allowing me to sleep, when I called the desk to see if they could ask that person to stop the stomping continued so I just got up and left. Terrible hotel for almost 900 bucks. I will not be returning.

Everything was great and the staff were super friendly especially the Turkish lady she was soo soo sweet! Hope to see her again next time! She deserves a raise and she helped us out with everything and getting us checked in as well! Very grateful for the staff as well.
Overall i recommend this place alot if you are planning to go to universal studios theme park, very convenient and the walk to the shuttle is only 7-8 mins far if your walking! Last but not least greatest hotel in LA in my opinion and super affordable.
