It is definitely a hidden gem and convenient for Universal Studios. The room was clean and inviting. The Guest service was also amazing. I was able to park prior to my check-in. And complete check-in later that night. They took the time to make sure my room key worked and where to park. And how to get to Universal. I needed my tires looked at before driving back home to Vegas. And there was great spot down the road. And close to Costco for gas and Portos. Highly recommend and would stay there again!

Our family went to Universal Stuidos and this was a very close stay. We had a Chevy truck and cloudn't fit in the personal garage and had to parallel park near the lobby, but all was enclosed with a gate they close at midnight. Bed was clean and comfortable for a quick one night stay.

AMAZING GEM
Our stay at El Royale was INCREDIBLE! We loved the friendly service and extreme cleanliness of the room and property. Having the little carport next to our room was an amazing touch and made us smile. We will certainly be returning to El Royale whenever we need to stay in the area!

Definitely not what I expected. The main picture on the listing makes it seem like the hotel is the Comcast building. However it’s a charming old studio apartment, or at least that’s what it seems like, complete with attached garages. This was a comfortable and quiet place to lie our heads down for a few days why visiting my mother in law in the hospital.

Lovely quaint room that looked recently renovated. The wifi signal is a bit weak near the back of the suite. Coffee is available in the morning and tastes great. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

I booked this hotel on a whim since it was close to Universal, and I feel like I hit the jackpot. Compared to everywhere around here, this was half the price! The room was cozy, incredibly clean, and with all of the amenities well-stocked. Universal is a 15 minute walk away (to their shuttle), or a 30 minute walk directly to the park. The area is really nice with some solid food options, and very walkable. Additionally, the four staffers I met during my stay were all incredibly nice. They made sure I had anything I needed, I got an early check-in, and it was no problem when I decided to stay an extra two nights. I’m definitely booking here again. For the price, you can’t beat the room and location. 10/10

Pros: The staff were very friendly. The beds were clean and comfy. Walking distance to Universal Studios and a couple of restaurants and a grocery store. Cons: very strong smell of cleaning solution in the room that was present for the 4 days we were there. No coffee machine in the room.

El Royale was fine. It looked like it was just renovated, but not quite finished? There were a few things that would be nice, a full length mirror and some artwork on the walls. The furniture was a bit dated. BUT, the beds were really really comfortable! It was a cute place and the management was lovely.

Parking lots have under sized manuvering space forcing 5 or 6 point turns in a Camaro sized car, forget pickup trucks.
