"The hotel was economical, but I wouldn't stay here again. The clerk wasn't that friendly or informative. The entrance and parking were tricky. I didn't realize there was a $50 hold on my credit card in case of damage.2019-03-12"

"Great location if you're going to Universal Studios, and the price was right. An older hotel. The room was comfortable but showed signs of wear like a leaky ceiling and mold in the bathroom. We had 3 rooms, and none of the safes worked; maintenance couldn't explain why the keys stuck in the locks. The staff was friendly enough, and breakfast was typical.2018-04-17"
"Nice hotel, but the bathtub was extremely dirty and didn't drain well. I told the front desk clerks, but they didn't seem interested.2018-02-17"

"My hotel room wasn't cleaned during my 5-day stay. The TV and phone didn't work, and the shower didn't drain. I was moved to another room, but the shower in that room didn't drain well, either. The fridge wasn't cold enough to keep soda cold. No working ice machine. Other guests were noisy all night. 2023-02-06"
"We really enjoyed our stay. Nice place for a good price, and not far from Universal Studios. The free shuttle was convenient, but the last pickup to return to the hotel was at 7 PM. The hotel staff was helpful. I definitely recommend staying here.2018-09-13"
"Located behind a Dunkin' Donuts, so some people might have trouble finding it. Within walking distance to stores and restaurants. Hotel room was clean, and there was no extra charge when we asked for extra blankets. The warm breakfast hit the spot, and there was no wait for the food.2015-04-01"
"The hotel room was nice and clean, and the service was wonderful. The food was good. We'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.2022-01-01"
"The room smelled musty, and the carpet was filthy. We had to pay an extra $30 for a shabby cot since there was no sofa bed in our room. Stay at another hotel.2019-04-27"
"The hotel room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the shower water was lukewarm at best.2019-04-18"
"Nice hotel with quality rooms and beds. The bathroom was small. Decent breakfast selection.2019-04-14"
"This hotel had the nicest staff in the industry. We arrived very early and were allowed to eat breakfast, change, and use the pool. We were even able to check in early. Everyone was polite and professional. The room had a fridge and microwave, and the bedding was clean and fresh. Clean, spacious bathroom with plenty of towels. There was also a workout room and guest laundry facility. After checkout, we were able to store our luggage and use the facilities. Good breakfast with lots of choices. Toiletries were available at the front desk for those who forgot to bring them. There was a shuttle stop right in front of the hotel that went to Universal for free. I give this place 100 stars.2018-10-17"

"The person in charge of the shuttle service to Universal Studio was rude, and the checkout clerk didn't ask how my stay was. No breakfast. My stay at this hotel was disappointing.2021-03-22"
"The hotel was run-down and in need of repairs. The room had poor lighting. Good service, but not a good place to stay. I wouldn't come back.2020-09-01"
"The hotel was as close to Universal Studios as you can get without staying on the Universal property. The room was large, and the beds were comfortable. No towel racks in the bathroom, so there was nowhere to hang up wet towels. The employees were friendly and accommodating. There was a lovely pool, and the laundry facilities were clean and up-to-date. It was hard to see the buttons in the elevator since they weren't lit.2020-03-13"

"The motel clerk was rude and unprofessional.2017-08-16"
"A terrible experience. We left after the 1st night. The beds were filthy, and the bedsheets weren't clean. The AC didn't work, and the shower was disgusting. We went to the front desk for help, but the hotel clerk said there were no other rooms available. Don't stay here.2017-07-17"

"We had a positive experience. The hotel was convenient to the parks. We left a wallet behind, and a housekeeper turned it in to the front desk. We were thankful.2019-11-12"
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
