The area was quiet which was nice. Just a few small errors with the room we had (toilet seat was coming off of hinges, vents on ac unit wouldn’t properly adjust, there’s no curtains on windows on top of blinds) Had to check in at an another hotel in order to get room key which was different. But the man who checked us in was really nice and helpful. Overall the room wasn’t bad for the price and was close to universal studios.

Cheap and basic needs- you get what you pay for.

I needed a cheaper place but this just wasn’t great. I guess you get what you pay for. It gave us a place to sleep and had the very basics. Bed was comfortable but the sofa bed had a sink to it. The room smelled of cheap cleaning supplies. Shower had mold in it. Parking was so tight and unaccommodating. I didn’t see bugs but assumed they were there somewhere. We had to check in late at night and had to drive up the road a mile to a sister inn to get checked in.

Beds wete uncomfortable, pullout "bed" was small, (toddler size) but advertised as full bed, and mold was in the shower. I was unable to change rooms or get a refund. Additionally, check in was required at a different hotel, unless you happen to be there at the tight time. The emails and phone calls conflicted with each other.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was way overpriced for what we got. No staff available 99% of the time. Had to drive a mile down the road to their other hotel, the nite inn, for any service. Parking lot was absolutely awful and way too small with a SUPER steep incline to get out. Hotel rooms were outdated, old, and not very clean. We saw mold on the window shutters and the showers were gross. The only positives were that the room had a microwave, mini fridge and the distance it was from universal studios. Not a great area, would not recommend.

Find somewhere else

On a scale of 5, I'd give it a 1. The rooms are very small. The shower drain clogged and water leaked from the bathroom to the bedroom. When I mentioned to Manager, he said it would be 2 hours before they get to it. Cleaning service did not come until about 6pm each day which was very inconvenient. There was inadequate space in the parking lot to maneuver my car when all spaces were taken. The freezer of the refrigerator was iced over. The office at the El Patio Inn was around 4-10, so getting a key involved going to a different location. Outlets protruded from the walls.

Good value for the price.

Took the family to Universal Studios and stayed 3 nights. This is an older facility so take that into account. If you're looking for a fairly clean room, a hot shower and a fairly comfortable bed to sleep on, and don't mind it being an older facility, then this is the place for you. It had 2 queen beds and a fold down couch so everyone was able to have plenty of room to sleep. Room is small but provides the necessities. Everything worked like the air conditioner, tv, mini fridge, microwave etc. The room was cleaned and beds made every day which was nice. It was only a few minutes from Universal Studios so I would say the value was good for the price.
