The staff was nice and I wasn’t expecting much from this property because of the area and the price. But I feel like I could’ve gotten the same quality somewhere else for a much cheaper price. They are apparently going through remodeling but you can tell it’s poorly done, the A/C unit is super laud, the motor in the bathroom was broken, all the shampoos and other bathroom essentials were all different brands like they just put out whatever they have left and we didn’t even get body wash or hand soap to wash our hands! It’s not the worst place ever but definitely not worth what they are charging

The rooms were filthy. Boogers and hair all over the bathroom. Everything was dirty. The lighting was terrible and felt like we were in a dungeon. They say they are renovating rooms so what you see online is not what you are going to get.

Staff was friendly, but room wasn't great. Bed wasn't very comfortable. The biggest bummer was that they advertised an indoor pool and the the pool was not usable. It was across the parking lot in a weird location, not maintained and not heated. The water was so cold, you couldn't get in the pool.

Something was going on with the checkin process. 3 separate parties were told to sit down and wait. After 10 to 15 mins we all were helped. The bar was open but didn’t have ice for drinks. The bartender offered to make shots 😱

This property is falling apart and the rooms weren't cleaned properly. I found a ball of someone else's hair in the middle of the floor of the room where the bed and tv were.

This property is outdated, the entire hotel smells like marijuana, the area is not clean what so ever. The heater did not work in the room. The bathroom fan did not work and made showering a nightmare when you stepped out. I would not recommend this property. This is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in.

Convenient to UC

They are working on it. From the parking to the ‘resort fee’ way too much on top of the room rate. Location to Universal City is the selling point.

WORST HOTEL EVER. This place was not clean (floors were sticky), toilet wasn’t flushing as soon as we initially used it. We tried to ask staff to fix it and for two days, they did not even try to help us. We had to use the toilets in the lobby because it did not flush and kept overflowing. They were rude and careless. I talked to the staff nicely and three of the front desk ladies were being rude and speaking another language to each other. The doors did not lock and outlets were not even working. I have never stayed in a hotel as bad as this, this is the first time I ever had to write a review because it’s THAT bad.
