Highly recommended

This is our second time staying here. It was a comfortable room, really good, friendly service. It was my birthday and they covered the bed in rose petals and left me a balloon, it made me feel really special and was so kind.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay here while visiting Universal Studios. Hotel was nice, clean, and updated and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Was a short Lyft ride away from Universal Studios. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area!

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place to stay!

What a lovely little gem we found! Seems to be completely remodeled from it's old 1950s original build but still has such a fun retro vibe to it! Reminds me of old I Love Lucy roadside motels that are so homey! The staff was lovely and very attentive. I think we'll try their small cabins next time we're in town!

Javier & Robert we’re very welcoming and made us feel comfortable the moment we arrived. We only stayed one night but they really made that one night memorable. Cute and quaint motel, if your looking for a different “hotel” experience .. check this place out!

We absolutely love this place, for our weekend getaways. The staff are absolutely amazing and take such good care of us. Your close to restaurants and Universal Studios. Everything is always super clean and organized. We won’t stay anywhere else, when we are in Studio City. We highly recommend this place!

10/10 Exceptional

Loved my stay here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Property is very clean and well maintained. The interior is small but very clean and inviting and the beds are so comfortable I over slept. Only negative id say was the water in the shower was not very hot and low water pressure and the AC could have been colder. But a great stay! Highly recommended.
