8/10 Good
"Stayed here as was going to Universal for family trip. Didn’t eat at the hotel as was cheaper to just take the shuttle to Universal City walk and get something there. Didn’t like the fact there weren’t much outlets in the room for charging. As well as dusting could have been a little better but guess kind of hard to get behind tables. Enjoyed them making the bed and giving new towels every day!"

8/10 Good
"Nice property and good location from SoFi stadium, we came for a concert. Quiet rooms even for being so close to airport and on the main street side of the building. I will say that it took 3 calls and a visit to the front desk just to get clean towels, the staff never once cleaned the room or changed towels, removed trash etc, that's really the only downside."

8/10 Good
"The hotel has a convenient location, but it could def. use a face lift. Due to location of LAX and a lot of concert goers nearby, there must be a huge turnover...which shows w/ the wear and tear around the property and in the room. Again, some upgrades and refreshing would go a long way. Staff was helpful w/ helpful w/ everything and the breakfast was adequate. Parking felt safe and easy."
