6/10 Good

Room was dirty, unclear instructions on how to get key card, and holes in the wall.
Emma, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The area was quiet which was nice. Just a few small errors with the room we had (toilet seat was coming off of hinges, vents on ac unit wouldn’t properly adjust, there’s no curtains on windows on top of blinds) Had to check in at an another hotel in order to get room key which was different. But the man who checked us in was really nice and helpful. Overall the room wasn’t bad for the price and was close to universal studios.

Nice place for the price. Very cute little motel. Very good Italian restaurant just down Ventura. Reno's Pizzeria.
Kevin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Beds wete uncomfortable, pullout "bed" was small, (toddler size) but advertised as full bed, and mold was in the shower. I was unable to change rooms or get a refund. Additionally, check in was required at a different hotel, unless you happen to be there at the tight time. The emails and phone calls conflicted with each other.

Great value for Universal.

Great value and very convenient location to Universal Studios. The parking is tight, but very easy to exit through the alley. The beds were soft and the stuffed animals the kids brought were always ruched in waiting for us to return.

Having to check in at another hotel to pay and get the key was a little bit of a pain... but overall it was a lovely stay!
Scott, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Arrepentido. Dont do it

Mala experiencia . El check inn es en otro hotel que no fue donde se hizo la reserva. Ahí entregaron la llave y el hotel queda a 1 milla más lejos. Las sábanas con cabellos y eso me deja pensando de la higiene y los cuartos muy viejos. No tienen personal en la recepción. Es un número a marcar . No vuelvo a rentar ahí en mi vida. Mesay silla de plástico .baño azulejos rotos . Bad experience. The check in is in another hotel that was not where the reservation was made. There they handed over the key and the hotel is 1 mile further away. The sheets with hair and that leaves me thinking about hygiene and the very old rooms. They don't have staff at the reception. It's a number to dial. I don't rent there again in my life. Mesa and plastic chair. Broken tiles bathroom.

Carolina, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked it there, I had everything I needed in my room. The fridge and microwave were super handy, the staff was nice and very accommodating and it was clean. There was room service every day and some of the cleaning staff made my bed as nicely as I have only experienced in higher-priced hotels (thanks again for that!). I felt safe there and found its location very convenient as I could walk to many places, including several shops and grocery stores. I found it a bit noisy towards the parking lot when it got busy, but I've often had that with higher priced hotels as well and it was otherwise perfectly fine and I slept well there. I'll definitely come back next time. :)
Eva Susanne, 12-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay - The hotel is old but the priece and location are great. bed and bathroom are all right - The a/c was an old model but it worked amazingly well. Good Amenities. Only bad thing was that bed sheets wasn't really clean I watched some hairs and doubt it was for washing.
Val, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good service

Close to Universal Studios. Only sad part they did not have a coffee maker, and had to check in at a different location. About a mile away.
Maria, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jimmie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and quiet. The heater was difficult to reach as the bed was against the wall under it and i had to climb on the bed to adjust the temperature.
Debbie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Small room, horrible area, out of reality pictures, no staff on site.
GABRIELA, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Would not come back here again. Small and old. And did not like having to drive to another hotel to register and get our room keys. There are definitely better options.
Dennis, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The motel it self is small but nice. Once you are in the room, it’s dirty and very noisy at night. Outside if you have suv or bigger car please stay away, you will take a long time to get in and out!! They don’t have anyone on site to help.
Cien, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The front desk guy was courteous but when we came back the door key was not working, no one was at the front desk, I called the number and he asked us to go to another hotel 2 miles away to get another key. We were tired and upset with this since we had reserved for 2 days and 2 nights. I would never come back to this hotel and will probably not do reservations throughout Expedia again.
Pedro, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hot water doesn't work and nobody cares the only thing they say is that the person in charges comes until 2pm and my check out is at 11am
