I had a mixed experience at the motel. The room I stayed in was comfortable and well-kept with good amenities, but I felt the service could be significantly improved. On the plus side, the location is convenient with easy access to restaurants, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of being overcharged. Overall, it was decent but could use some improvements in hospitality and value for money.

The room was spacious, well-kept, and comfortable with good air conditioning, a fridge, and a microwave, but felt very basic in terms of decor and comfort quality.

While the front desk staff was polite, I felt there was a lack of warmth and attention to guest needs, and I could definitely see improvements here.

This hotel is a budget-friendly, no-frills option near Universal Studios, recently renovated with a nostalgic bungalow style. While it offers clean accommodations and essential amenities like a fridge and microwave, the added surprise of a $150 deposit was a downside. The location made it easy to access rideshare services, which was a bonus.
Rooms

The rooms are small but clean, featuring an old Hollywood bungalow style. They include a refrigerator and microwave, which was convenient.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The room was far from clean, with dirty towels and a generally neglected feel. While the staff was there, they lacked the attention and care one would hope for in a hotel. The location is okay, near some restaurants, but the overall experience left me feeling unsatisfied, especially for the price paid.
