    One negative? No bedside lamps, just overhead recessed lighting that is very bright (like daylight bulbs). Had to open the bathroom door a crack with the light on in there to help us see as we went to bed.

    When we entered our room the fridge was turned off and open, there was no bags in the trash can and there was mold in the bathtub. We had been traveling all day and just needed a place to sleep so we did not contact management but was still frustrating. The outside area however is well maintained and looks very cute!

    Rooms and furniture are badly worn. Dont sit on the chairs in case they collapae And dont lean on the table. It will collapse. Tried to make a phone call. Receiver was not connected to the phone, totally broken. Advised staff, oh yeah we know about that. Nothing done to rectify it though. For the money they charge you can find a better place cheaper. Stay away unless you are really desparate. 👎👎👎👎👎

    It is clean but small rooms. It has only 1 light so it is not possible to have one person sleep and other have light on for reading or seeing. The positives free parking which is very beneficial in LA. Great walkability. Additionally, the location is very close to Universal studios. You basically pay for location. Parking is tight so make sure you can fit. We didn’t plan on being in the room much so it wasn’t a big deal how it looked. Front staff was very friendly. I would stay again in future.

    I am so glad we stayed here for our trip to Universal Studios. This hotel is so clean and the staff is so friendly and helpful. They don't charge for parking and it's within walking distance of a free shuttle to Universal so you don't have to pay for parking there either. There are tons of restaurants within walking distance of this hotel so that was convenient and easy. I would absolutely stay here again. It's a hidden gem!

    We stayed for one night at Nite Inn at Universal City - Walking Distance to Universal Studios Hollywood. The main advantage of this hotel is definitely the location. It is very convenient for visiting Universal Studios Hollywood and serves that purpose very well. The room was relatively small, but acceptable for a short overnight stay. The bathroom was perfectly fine and the room overall was clean enough for what we needed. Overall, we would rate the experience around 7/10. Good location and practical for Universal Studios visitors, but there are definitely areas that could be improved. However, the air conditioning unit was very old and extremely noisy. Honestly, it is difficult to understand how someone could comfortably sleep with it running during the night. Fortunately, the weather allowed us to turn it off while sleeping. One important improvement we would strongly recommend is providing luggage storage for guests. Since the hotel mainly targets visitors going to Universal Studios, this should really be offered as a standard service. In Los Angeles, leaving luggage inside parked cars is a serious concern due to theft risks, so not having a secure storage option created unnecessary stress for us.

    This property wasn’t what I expected: seemed pricy for one night and to have to put a 200$ deposit down is even more unnecessary after I paid in full upfront. I recall putting a cc down for incidentals but not a hotel funds. I wouldnt stay here again or recommend it. The room looked old and outdated for how much is charged a night.. Staff was mediocre and didn’t really make you feel welcome. No thanks again. Wasn’t for me or my family.

    We found what appeared to be mold in our room, and the room had a strong musty odor. Because of the apparent mold and air quality concerns, we did not feel comfortable staying here. If you are sensitive to mold or concerned about health and cleanliness, you may want to consider other accommodations.

    The location is close to Universal buts it’s in a horrible part of town. They recommended I park across the street when we went to Universal but my car was broken into. They said it was a queen bed, but it was double. The shower didn’t work. I don’t recommend this place at all. Especially for the ridiculous price. Spend a little more and stay at the Sheraton.

    Small property, Easy access to food, gas, and minutes away from Universal Studios.. Continues the tradition of daily housekeeping. Bed made and towels refreshed. Not too fancy but morning coffee and sweet rolls are available in the early a.m.. Rooms have microwave & refrigerator. Had a single queen bed room. The air cooled quickly. Hairdryer in the bathroom. Only thing missing would be a chest of drawers. But this is only needed if you had an extended stay. One other missing item was a bedside lamp. Certainly would book again if visiting Universal Studios!

    We needed a low cost hotel near Universal Studios to celebrate a birthday. This hotel was a great location to balance cost and proximity. The reception was a very polite, professional and efficient gentlemen. After a four block walk, we took a free shuttle to Universal Studios. Parking was a challenge late at night and early morning. We hardly could leave our room with big suitcases navigating between cars. There was a friendly homeless gentlemen out front of the hotel camped on the sidewalk. This is the new state of California, it's everywhere. Around the corner were some low end restaurants like Subway, Doughnuts, Pizza, etc. For the proximity, cost and service balance, I would recommend just for sleeping and visiting Universal Studios.

    I never write these kinds of reviews but our stay here was phenomenal. The room was perfect for our crew! Separate bedroom, 2 beds in the main room. Could have used an extra bathroom but we knew what we were getting into lol. Stayed here 3 nights with 6 humans in the one suite. We had the room serviced each day which was lovely. Some places won’t do it unless you have a longer stay. The “breakfast” was lacking? But again we knew what we were getting and planned. There’s a donut place right next door anyway. And the walk to the tram pickup for US is like 3 blocks. Parking was weird but the lot across the street is free so again we were fine. Some people are prolly too picky but I did research for months before our trip and this place ended up being perfect for our vacation.

    I went back to the front desk to ask if there were any other room options available, but I was told they were completely sold out. What made this even more frustrating was that I could clearly see multiple rooms that appeared vacant, and there was even availability showing online at the time. The room itself was very outdated, with chipped and worn furniture that made it feel even less inviting. The bed was also extremely uncomfortable—very stiff—and I woke up with back aches the next morning. To make matters worse, the noise level was terrible. Neighbors were dragging furniture throughout the night and into the early morning, making it nearly impossible to get any rest. The only positive I can mention is the location—it’s convenient and in a good area. However, the overall experience, lack of transparency, condition of the room, and noise issues made this stay very unpleasant. I would not stay here again.

    The hotel is technically walking distance from Universal, if you want an uphill walk to get there and I mean a steep uphill walk. Room was very small, not like what the pictures made it out to be. Very loud at night. Parking is pretty much non existent especially for a larger vehicle. We got blocked in on more than 1 occasion. Also no elevator for people who have rooms upstairs. Good for a couple with no kids.

    The room was clean but we did have an issue with housekeeping as the day after we arrived we left to universal studios. We came back to our room that night to find out they had came in and thrown away a few of our bags which had stuff from pokemon stores and had some of our belongings in them. They also went through one of our bags we had next to the bed. I called and was told they were only supposed to clean up the room and put clean towels in . And that they dont throw trash away that was not in the trash but they obviously did. Still havent gotten anything resolved. Man at the front desk with check in is very wonderful hoping to speak with him soon to see if we can get this resolved.

    Friendly staff, basic but clean room, nice pastries for breakfast. Would have been 5 stars but wasn’t allowed to leave my car in the car park on check out day while we went to Universal even though the car park had been empty all week, and I didn’t feel safe parking it across the street with my luggage inside.

    Very close to Universal Studios. Lots of fast food nearby. Also lots of homeless and mentally unstable people. Would not walk outside at night. Daytime can also be sketchy. Parking is extremely tight and chances of your door getting dinged are very high. Rooms are small and way overpriced. You’re basically paying to be within walking distance of the park. Walls are paper thin. WOULD DEFINITELY NOT STAY AGAIN.

    We felt very unsafe. We left. We had made reservations and paid for 2 nights through E…. 10 minutes before we got there. Informed manager 20 minutes after we saw the room that we would not be staying the next day and were planning to leave that night. Then left. The desk girl refused to check us out and give us a receipt. She said we had to go through E….because we paid them. The manager refused to speak to E…. for 2 days… hmmm after the charges went through and he got paid. Then refused any refund. I was charged both nights. My credit card company had me document everything with photos and video before I left. I travel a lot. I understand it’s an Inn and wasn’t expecting a lot. But safety, up to code and AC in 90 degree heat wasn’t asking but the minimum. Definitely unsafe. Bait n switch from online to actual site. Read google for accurate reviews.

    We were only here for one night, for a day at Universal Studios. We found everything to be nice, clean and comfy. Everything was stocked well with plenty lotion, shampoo, etc! The shower was spacious, had great water pressure and was nice and warm. The parking lot is a tad smaller, but we had no issues! All the employees and staff we encountered were really nice and helpful! They also told us about the free parking across the street for people walking to ride the shuttle. They also helped give us directions to walk to the free shuttle to Universal Studios (which only takes 3-5 min to walk to.) There was a delicious pizza place literally around the corner that we walked to for dinner and it was really good, with very large pizzas! In the morning, they had some complimentary pastries, and a nice hot drink machine- the hot chocolate was really good, and not watered down at all! We will stay here anytime we make another trip to Universal Studios!!

    The staff was really kind and helpful. It is a perfect place to rest for the night before going to Universal Studio. It is really close to the park driving. It took us about 5 minutes to get there. We did not eat the light breakfast items that are provided - so cannot comment on that. The room was clean, the set up was two queens and one sofa that turn into a bed. The bathroom was small with enough space for one person and maybe a small kid inside. There was a small bridge which was nice to keep a few sodas cold. Overall, I would go back there again if for only one night.

    The clerk at night was my favorite part. He was friendly and helpful while bringing humor to his interactions with us. The location is super helpful with close access to the metro and bus stops to help you get places and for universal it's close to a tram of sorts that takes people to the top. It's a great place to stay if you want a cheaper alternative to the universal hotels. Some words of caution. Parking lot is kinda small any big vehicle will have trouble, breakfast is basically a small danish so don't expect a big meal, We'd be happy to stay there again. The walk can be a bit nerve wracking, but I wouldn't be too concerned

    We were really surprised at how nice the rooms were. It was one of the cleanest best remodeled places we have stayed in a long time. They were tiny but you get a feel of history of the former apartment building it used to be back in the early Universal Studio days. Guessing it probably housed many young hopeful actors and actresses. The lobby and staff were amazing. We will definately be staying there again.

It’s very clean and the man at the front desk was exceptionally kind and helpful. Easy walking to a hotel shuttle that hauls you up the hill to the theme park (you could walk, but the shuttle is free and so convenient), grocery store within walking distance, lots of close food options. It was noisy (walls/doors not insulated to outside) but we’ve always lived in big cities so the noises of cars and sirens, etc didn’t bother us. Loved having fridge and microwave. Parking seems easy and a big plus, we just did public transit.

Having said that, I feel bad giving low score on the property itself because its a cool spot but yikes lets just say I wouldnt book the room for my mother. If they put a bit of money into updating the rooms its a whole different story. Felt a little sketchy and I chose not to sleep under the covers or take a shower.

    Property was near a couple of food places and just a 2 minute walk to the Universal trolly. I choose this location because of these features because I have mobility restrictions. Staff were great, very friendly and ensured we had everything we needed each day. Parking is VERY limited and a tight squeeze. We did not have a car for this trip but the lots was always full and only held about 11 cars. We would stay again if we return to Universal Studios.
