This hotel was acceptable. It was clean and the workers were very kind and friendly. I was disappointed that the parking fee was $4 more than what was posted on Expedia. It adds up when you have multiple cars and days. The windows don’t insulate the sound very well and since we were by a busy street there was a lot of traffic noise. The beds were not comfortable for me, they were too firm, but my husband liked them. The elevator was small and slow, and they only had 2, which caused us to wait a little longer than expected a few times. There is plenty of places to eat and shop around the hotel. Its location is good, factoring in Cali traffic it was about a 20-30 minute drive to Universal Studios (about 15 minutes with no traffic), which was the purpose of our visit. My rooms had an overwhelming perfume smell, I’m not sure if that’s a spray they use or if someone who stayed before loved perfume, but it was strong. And, even though it’s a nonsmoking hotel, when we first arrived it smelled to me as though people had smoked in it previously…perhaps that’s why there was a perfume smell to mask the scent of cigarette smoke. I honestly don’t know. My 2nd room did not have the cigarette smell, but did have a perfume-like smell.
