What is advertised is NOT what you get. The photos are WAY nicer than what is being offered at the hotel.
This hotel has good reviews on Hotels.com (did my research, thought we booked at a OK hotel, but definitely not the case) and like i said the photos advertising this property definitely do not match what is actually there.
Also, there is no lock on your balcony door, just a stick to prevent the door from opening.
We felt so unsafe at the hotel, that we immediate left after checking in. Would not recommend at all.
Overall , good property. Couldn’t check in early, they don’t tell you that there’s a surcharge until you pay for everything. $21 for the employees “because they deserve it.” Ridiculous. We stayed one night for visiting Hollywood studios. Convenient, car garage was well lit up. $34 for each night of parking.
Safe place in LA to stay and be able to walk to nearby restaurants and shops.

The room we were allocated was excellent, however the staff were not very helpful - a request for a fold out bed was clearly not forwarded on (2 separate phone calls)…and we we were despite a long and tiring journey denied a drink at the bar due to a ‘private function’ which appeared to be made up of just employees hanging ou
Blvd was walking distance to universal and has a variety of nearby places to eat at. The room was clean and spacious and staff were friendly. The only problem is out of the hotels control as there are several homeless in the area which made us feel unsafe to walk to the park. A shuttle from the hotel To the park would be nice.
To start, the staff we interacted with were lovely and very friendly. The location was perfect for our needs. The beds comfortable.
For the not so great- the room we reserved was not in fact available. We reserved a two king bed standard and upon arrival were told they were not open. We were given a two queen “presidential suite”, which while nice, meant they charged us extra, even with a discount.
The plugs mostly did not work because they were all so loose. The sink were designed so oddly that washing hands was no simple task and the rain shower was in a weird spot and the water luke warm at best.
The rooms are very nice and clean. The only thing my family and I did not like was the shower. If you don’t have instructions on how to operate it, you’ll be stuck trying to figure out how to turn it on for a while.
