just a great little hotel I'm hesitant to give a great review because I don't want it full when I need to stay here. The parking next to your room is excellent especially with my motorcycle. Its also a short distance to the main restaurants of Studio City I'd leave the car home and walk or uber to save on parking. Nice staff and a quality bed. great spot

Crystal

This hotel has cute bungalows with your own car port parking spot which is very nice. Feels like you’re own place rather than being attached to a wall next to someone else. Definitely well priced for the hotel room and near universal studios (6 min drive without traffic) which is what we wanted it for. Staff was kind, easy to work with, and funny which is an added touch. You can tell some of the parts of the room needs upgrades but for the most part the rooms are nice and look fairly new.

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.
