Our family went to Universal Stuidos and this was a very close stay. We had a Chevy truck and cloudn't fit in the personal garage and had to parallel park near the lobby, but all was enclosed with a gate they close at midnight. Bed was clean and comfortable for a quick one night stay.

AMAZING GEM
Our stay at El Royale was INCREDIBLE! We loved the friendly service and extreme cleanliness of the room and property. Having the little carport next to our room was an amazing touch and made us smile. We will certainly be returning to El Royale whenever we need to stay in the area!

Great stay!
This little hotel was a nice place to stay for our Universal Studios trip. The rooms are modern and clean.
The staff was great! We mistakenly thought check out was at 11:00am instead of 10:00am. The owner was very nice in accommodating us for a later check out. We would definitely stay here again.

It is a Motor Hotel. The picture they post is deceiving since it is not a Tower. It is in the process of being renovated, yet still some stuff will remain old, like doors and certain aromas.

Fantastic property in a really accessible part of town. We reached everything and everywhere needed to from El Royale. The staff were friendly and super helpful - special mention for Xavier who I had a great time discussing about animals and the wide blue ocean! Thank you for being so helpful!

Perfect for a solo traveler
Called a day ahead to request an early check and was accommodated at arrival. Staff offered me a bottle of water and showed me to my room. The room was perfect for a solo traveler and had everything I needed with plenty of room and a comfy bed. I was there for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights, so this was perfect since it was just a few minutes down the road and the cheapest in the area considering everyone else had jacked their rates up for the event. It was nice to easily get back to the hotel after a long night.

Great stay!
I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel/ motel is conveniently located to Universal Studios and the valley. It had a cute bungalow feel. I traveled alone but felt safe. The staff was very friendly, especially Xavier. He was very polite and made me laugh! I will stay here again.
