Studio City Court Yard Hotel

Hotel Carmel
The staff is amazingly friendly, efficient and happy to be working there. There was a younger man as I checked in, who was very enthusiastic and cheerful and the young Filipino lady was just a delight to talk to and very helpful in checking out and finding transportation. Great value.
