No pool or hot tub available. False advertisement on amenities. There should be a notice when booking if these are not available. I would have cancelled and booked elsewhere if I was notified in advance. No room cleaning, no re stocking of coffee pods or other basic services. On our check out day they had maintenance workers power washing directly outside our room from 8am onwards. Extremely noisy and ruined our time to rest before a very long travel day. Would not stay here ever again

Towels and sheets had some stains on them. as well as some hairs imbedded on them. I’m not too particular with these kinds of things however being that there was only on request housekeeping they could have made sure of that issue a little better. Other than that everything was clean and it was an overall good stay for the price i paid.

Room was clean and everything worked (just the hot water in the shower was a bit tricky to manage). The wall is very thin, so you can hear everything in the other room. Next to me a lady just kept arguing and swearing at their roommates early in the morning. I was out from 8:30am to almost 4pm and the room wasn't yet cleaned. The gym is very limited, but like any other hotel that's what is expected, but one of the few equipment they have was broken (the bench press one). The pool wasn't available due renovations, but it was cold anyway. Overall I had a good experience. Is right next to Universal Studios. Is a good option if you just need a clean place to sleep and shower. And the price is fair for what they give.

I stayed for 2 nights and it was okay. There wasn’t anything special about it. The bathroom could’ve been a little cleaner, but the water pressure and temperature was great. It’s like 2 blocks away from Universal which is very convenient.

Booked for the pool and hot tub. Both were closed for repairs. Asked to cancel so we could go elsewhere and was told it was non refundable. Front desk stated city walk was “accross the street”. It was a 20+ minute walk at a brisk pace. Room and bedding were dirty. I have pictures of rusty screws on the ground on side of bed and chunks of moldy debris and a hair on top of bedding. How hotels.com rates this an 8.0 is beyond my understanding.
