Its not just right off the highway, they are all exteria doors that seemed to have been kicked in once or twice, you can see outside. Between the road noise all hours of the night from the highway, the loud air condition and the hard beds we got no sleep, after two nights we moved to another hotel. If you repay from Expedia you have to chat message expedia to end the reservation that day they call the hotel confirmed no extra fees, then expedia will refund you the unused days. I have never ever left a hotel mid stay!!

The lobby was very clean and pretty. The room was very nicely decorated and clean. The staff was also friendly. The only things I did not like was that I found hair in all the towels that were in my room and when I asked for new towels, they were never brought. I had to call a second time that night when I got back and the front desk receptionist brought it herself. I also do not like their housekeeping policy that no one comes to clean the room until 3 days later. All in all however, it was a positive stay.

This is an older travel-lodge style motel, so the rooms are dark & outdated. Property grounds were clean & amenities worked(i.e. pool, ice machine, vending). The restaurant & cafe were clean, and the food was good. Staff was friendly. Ample parking on site, no fees. Location is good for Universal city walk(about 20 min on foot) but, very busy for driving. Overall, everything about this motel is serviceable, except the rooms were dirtier than expected.
