Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While I found it relatively close to public transportation and the area around Universal Studios, the cleanliness and comfort of the room left much to be desired. Although the staff were friendly, the noise from the AC unit and the hard beds made for some uncomfortable nights. Overall, it might be suitable for a quick stay, but not worth the price for family stays due to the cramped conditions.
The hotel is conveniently located at the intersection of Lankershim Blvd and Ventura Blvd, making it perfect for those visiting Universal Studios or for business in the entertainment industry. While the rooms are comfortable and have a nice layout, they lack some charm and adequate lighting. The bar area is a great bonus, especially with complimentary drinks during happy hour, but the parking fee and some brusque front-desk interactions could use improvement.
