Gridley Vacations from $345

The room at the LEEF hotel was really cozy and the size of the bed was perfect for my partner and I’s weekend getaway to visit Universal Studios. The aesthetics at the property are refreshing and Tulum-esque, which I appreciated, although it was rather a shame that a physical front desk was not present on site. Check in took close to 30 minutes upon arriving at the property, as the electronic video check-in system was incredibly slow.

Rooms were dated and lots of moths

Lovely hotel with not many amenities, but in a great location close to shops, restaurants and cafes. Convenient parking right across the quiet, low traffic street.

Easy parking, good location. It was just not convenient that the only bathroom is located in the bedroom.

The room was dim w/lights lacking in closet area. There was smudges on the bathroom door frame that I wiped clean with a Kleenex. The bathroom counters looked dusty, as if there were dried water marks. Considering it was a darker granite color/design, maybe it just needed to be cleaned w/ something else. There wasn't enough towels for my reservation of 3. one of the bath towels had visible dirt markings that didn't look like it was a stain but actual crust of mud/makeup? It was nice walking into the hotel but the "gold" elevators weren't shiny & bright. Visible scratches/smudges. The button trying to go down on my floor wasn't visible so nobody can tell if the button is working or activated. The pool area wasn't cleaned. Used it later in the evening with no other guests occupying it and there was pitchers of beer and cups around the Jacuzzi and towels all over lounging chairs and floor. It was like this both nights I stayed. The gym has nice equipment but there were no wipes in the tub for it. Overall, next time I'd stay elsewhere even if it isn't as convenient as this one, which is right off the freeway. It's location is in a convenient spot with outside amenities like shopping center that has Starbucks right across the street and McDonald's not too far. I can't vouch for the restaurant on site but it was pretty busy throughout the day compared to other places I've stayed. Overly priced for a Continental buffet breakfast IMO. Cookies were good, no nutfree option.
