Clean room, when checking in friendly staff, we stayed 2 nights and house keeping did not clean the room was unaware we we needed to request it so last day to check out we had to go to lobby and request clean towels so we could shower. Yes parking a bit of a tight squeeze but manageable we have a mini suv, overall great location not to far from universal studios, clean room upon arrival.

First night we got there and the room smelled like a chain smoker lived there. The toilet seat was broken and the bathroom door didn’t shut. Walls were so dirty and black stuff all over them. Switched rooms Saturday morning. Room didn’t smell and looked decent. Bathroom still had hair all over it. It needs to be deep cleaned and kept up with in between guests. Will never return.

Our stay was going comfortable untill after 3 days of our stay as we noticed that the microwave wasn't working then next very day we had told housekeeping about the issue and later on told the front office staff well he said that the microwave was brand new and that housekeeping always check the appliances after every check out. After 5 days of this motel taking my money they decided to do something about the microwave and decided to ask the 2nd person for his ID and asked for a 100$ deposit if we wanted to continue our stay at this motel after I already paid for the day. Blaming us for the microwave being broken is what got us to check out the very same day and then the housekeeping told me to throw out our trash isn't my job to do the housekeeping job I recommend for those that's paying for service to be cautious with Carlton motor lodge checkout

Checking in/out was easy. After a long day of walking, it was great to stay somewhere near universal studios. The beds were not very comfortable but when you’re so tired, it wasn’t terrible. The walls and doors were dirty. The parking area and parking spots were the worst, extremely tight. People were hanging out outside smoking at night. No shampoo provided, just a couple cheap bars of soap. You get what you pay for.

Staff was very accommodating and allowed us early check in since we were going to Universal Studios for the Halloween special event. Place was older but has been recently upgraded and they did a really good job. Not the Ritz but if you just need a nice clean place to sleep while in LA. Worth the price. Only about 2 minutes from Universal.
