The staff, the magicians, the snack options, pool side popsicles are awesome, 5 stars. The motel itself was a tad dated and minor things, overall the room seemed clean. Perfect for walking over to the dinner and show at the Castle, This is a fun one night stay, with kids going to universal or for couples going next door to the castle. Parking is tight, if you have a big suv or truck. You’ll have to park on the outside next to a hedge.

If you want to be in Hollywood the location is unbeatable. You can walk to all the famous sites. The property is old but charming. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. It's old and not very luxurious, but very charming. We enjoyed it very much.

The staff and some amenities were amazing. The apartment itself was not the best; it had very squeaky and damaged floating floors, old and damaged furniture. No elevators made carrying luggage up and down the very narrow staircases difficult. Many children were present, so if you want peace and quiet, you might want to consider somewhere else.

Amazing staff and a great family vibe without being juvenile. The property is the throwback to the mid-century, but it's in excellent condition and a haven from the busyness outside. They're generous with amenities and parking was simple. Loved it!
