Find somewhere else

On a scale of 5, I'd give it a 1. The rooms are very small. The shower drain clogged and water leaked from the bathroom to the bedroom. When I mentioned to Manager, he said it would be 2 hours before they get to it. Cleaning service did not come until about 6pm each day which was very inconvenient. There was inadequate space in the parking lot to maneuver my car when all spaces were taken. The freezer of the refrigerator was iced over. The office at the El Patio Inn was around 4-10, so getting a key involved going to a different location. Outlets protruded from the walls.

Good value for the price.

Took the family to Universal Studios and stayed 3 nights. This is an older facility so take that into account. If you're looking for a fairly clean room, a hot shower and a fairly comfortable bed to sleep on, and don't mind it being an older facility, then this is the place for you. It had 2 queen beds and a fold down couch so everyone was able to have plenty of room to sleep. Room is small but provides the necessities. Everything worked like the air conditioner, tv, mini fridge, microwave etc. The room was cleaned and beds made every day which was nice. It was only a few minutes from Universal Studios so I would say the value was good for the price.

Basic room to sleep in.

No frills spot to sleep. The price is low and reflects the fact that you have to check in at the sister property about a mile away unless you arrive between 4-9pm. No ice machine, not much of anything on site. Rooms are dated, small and minimally furnished.
