Rough around the edges

The place was clean, convenient and reasonably comfortable. Stark lighting, worn furniture, corroded metal in the bathroom, old tv, and no bedside lights created a negative vibe, made worse by the musty odor. If none of those things bothers you, you’ll be fine.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was quiet and mostly clean. The floor was a little dirty because the bottoms of my white socks were dirty brown from walking on the floor for just a few minutes. The rest of the place was immaculate. The coat hanger rack was detached from the wall on one of its corners. No other complaints other than those items.

Perfect for Universal Studios

I chose this property due to the closeness to Universal Studios I like the Bungalow effect the rooms could be a little bit nicer but I would recommend staying at this property just be prepared that you're in Los Angeles and sometimes the surrounding area can be intimidating however the staff was very nice and helpful

We were able to book three rooms for evacuation from the Eaton fire. The rooms were clean and spare. The linens were ample and the showerhead very luxurious (not so drought-conscious, but we enjoyed the splurge). I recommend requesting a unit as far back from Ventura Blvd as possible to get some quiet. This is a classic pull-up parking motor inn from the road-trip era!
