Fantastic staff - very friendly and helpful. We had tickets to Universal Studios Hollywood Fan Fest (from 2 PM - 2 AM), and the hotel worked with us to get keys ahead of time so we could go straight to our room after the event. The room and bathroom had been recently remodeled and were nice. I would have liked another outlet near the nightstand.

Loved the shower and covered parking. The vehicles were secure. Very polite check in personnel. Only thing thing I missed was free coffee in the morning from the lobby. It would’ve made 5 star. Thankfully, there was a 711 in walking distance…but it was a very cold morning.

What a great place to stay! Shawn (or maybe it's Shaun or Sean) and Xavier were fantastic hosts. The hotel is in a great location, walkable to lots of good restaurants, and (if you're a fan of classic TV) the Brady Bunch house is less than a mile away!
