"Right outside Universal Studios. The hotel was nothing special. The decor was outdated, and the rates were too pricey for the quality.2016-06-18"
"There was an event in the hotel parking lot that included blasting music until 10 PM. I just wanted a nice room for sleeping and relaxing, so I don't think I got what I paid for.2016-05-16"
"The hotel staff provided excellent service, from housekeeping to the valet. A gift shop attendant was the only employee who didn't smile or offer to assist me. Long wait for the elevator, especially if you're on a higher floor.2016-04-03"
"Convenient to the park. The room was smaller than I expected, but the view was beautiful. No TV remote control, and no soap in the bathroom. Easy check-in and friendly employees. It's crazy that self-parking was almost the same price as valet parking. Good stay overall.2015-09-30"

"The motel room was clean. There were no cups, so we went to the front desk and were given small, styrofoam cups. The front desk clerk spoke broken English and was hard to understand. We had to pay 25 cents to fill a bucket with ice. We had to pay for parking and were then told the lot was full and we'd have to park at a lot 2 blocks away. Find another place to stay.2016-10-05"

"The motel was in a bad part of town. The beds were uncomfortable. Every swimmer in my family had a rash after swimming in the saltwater pool. No protein at breakfast.2017-05-30"
"Ideal location. The motel was well-run but dated. One electrical outlet was dead, so we had to use extension cords for lights and appliances. Housekeeping was above average. Go for it, but expect the stay to suit the cost.2015-12-03"
