Nice place! Friendly staff
Super clean and a cute place to stay. Neighborhood is decent but maybe looks a little sketchy. No issues on a 7 block walk at 11pm on a weeknight.

Great option for staying near Universal Studios, a short walk to where the tram picks up. Location also had several restaurants and a grocery store surrounding it. Staff was very friendly, helpful. Our room was clean, new, and comfy.

I did a lot of research and came upon this property. It was cute and quiet. Parking right outside the door makes for easy unloading. It was perfect for a couple. Yes you can walk to universal but it is a little bit longer than what they advertise. There’s a big hill after the walk and there’s a shuttle provided by universal you can use to take up the hill. We ended up ubering back after a long day of walking (11$). Which was perfect. Overall I was happy with the property. Clean and updated. They had small breakfast provided and coffee in the am (oatmeal and muffins). Perfect to get the day going. Would stay here again

Lovely place to stay!
What a lovely little gem we found! Seems to be completely remodeled from it's old 1950s original build but still has such a fun retro vibe to it! Reminds me of old I Love Lucy roadside motels that are so homey! The staff was lovely and very attentive. I think we'll try their small cabins next time we're in town!
