Find somewhere else

On a scale of 5, I'd give it a 1. The rooms are very small. The shower drain clogged and water leaked from the bathroom to the bedroom. When I mentioned to Manager, he said it would be 2 hours before they get to it. Cleaning service did not come until about 6pm each day which was very inconvenient. There was inadequate space in the parking lot to maneuver my car when all spaces were taken. The freezer of the refrigerator was iced over. The office at the El Patio Inn was around 4-10, so getting a key involved going to a different location. Outlets protruded from the walls.

Good value for the price.

Took the family to Universal Studios and stayed 3 nights. This is an older facility so take that into account. If you're looking for a fairly clean room, a hot shower and a fairly comfortable bed to sleep on, and don't mind it being an older facility, then this is the place for you. It had 2 queen beds and a fold down couch so everyone was able to have plenty of room to sleep. Room is small but provides the necessities. Everything worked like the air conditioner, tv, mini fridge, microwave etc. The room was cleaned and beds made every day which was nice. It was only a few minutes from Universal Studios so I would say the value was good for the price.

Basic room to sleep in.

No frills spot to sleep. The price is low and reflects the fact that you have to check in at the sister property about a mile away unless you arrive between 4-9pm. No ice machine, not much of anything on site. Rooms are dated, small and minimally furnished.

No Hot Water.

Check in was nice and easy. Other than that, it was not the best. We had a family room (two queens and a futon). Im glad we didnt need the futon, there wouldn't have been room to walk around; the room is very small. The worst - Worst part was that there was no hot water. None. My daughter and I showered at different times, and there was no hot water. The temperature did not change from Cold after 3 minites. The front desk is staffed from 9am to 9pm. We were not in our room during those times so we couldn't tell anyone. We checked out early at 9:15am and were going to tell them then, but there was no front desk person to talk to. I talked to a couple who also had no hot water. Maybe there was an issue they were unaware of and this was a fluke, but it was difficult to tell them. The beds were not comfy and the blankets were thin. In one area of the room there are glass blocks as a window that have no curtains or cover. If you need a dark room to sleep, this is not it. But really, all of that could have been overlooked if we had hot water.

A great place to stay for a universal trip

This was a great budget hotel for our trip to universal studios! We would definitely stay again. Rooms were clean and in good condition, front desk staff was friendly, and there is free parking. After 7pm you have to check in at a different hotel but the staff at El Patio Inn make you very aware of that and where the hotel is. Great location for universal studios, there’s a bus stop a two minute walk away and it’s just 3 stops to the universal shuttle. Great hotel!
