Room is clean and comfortable, very close to Universal Studio. There’s a 7-11 only 150 meters away. The host is friendly and solved the order issue for us.

The staffs are warm and humorous, though we arrived late at night, they served us with passion and professionalism. The place is clean and spacious, of walkable distance to USH (with aid of shuttle bus near metro), but we chose to drive there eventually. (They also offered us day parking while we're at USH though we didn't get to utilise it in the end)

It takes 15-20 minutes to walk to Universal Studios. The owner is very nice and cleans every day. One day we left a $2 or $5 tip on the bed, but he refused. It is very clean. The front desk provides simple breakfast, hot water, and coffee. If you are tired, you can buy instant noodles next door to eat. There are gas stations, Chinese restaurants, convenience stores nearby, and the breakfast at the coffee shop next to the gym is super delicious. It is a warm and clean motel. The heater is old-fashioned and noisy indoors.

The hotel environment is very good, very quiet, and there is an independent parking space. The room is really a bit small. The air conditioner in the room is simply too loud. Turn it off, it's hot. If you don't turn it off, the air conditioner is really super loud, so you can only set it to turn off the fan, but it will still rumble for a while every once in a while (the air conditioner next to the bed)
The wind speed of the hair dryer is also super low, and it will be perfect if you swap it with the wind speed of the air conditioner
If you don't mind the loud sound of the air conditioner and the small room, it is still recommended. The environment is good and very quiet

The hotel is a motel with parking available. The facilities in the room are OK, but the room is on the roadside, which is a bit noisy at night. If you check in, you can request to stay away from the roadside. The service attitude is good. The hotel will give you a small map. There will be a free bus to Universal Studios when you walk to the roadside. You can also sit down when you come back.

Booked this hotel to be close to Universal Studios. The room facilities are average, but it doesn't matter if you are close to Universal Studios. If you care about the environment, book this hotel carefully.

The location is very good, very close to Universal Studios, about 5-10 minutes by car. Many attractions in Los Angeles are near Universal Studios. And this is a motel, parking is free, which is more economical. The sanitation is very clean, and I was surprised that the motel even has bathrobes, which is a nice detail. However, it is not suitable for people who pursue hotel characteristics. The room is not so fancy, suitable for convenience.

A motel type hotel, the location is close to Universal Studios, 20 minutes walk, uber costs 7 US dollars/6 minutes, the room is clean, the bed is comfortable, and there is a microwave. Free parking. The stay was also pleasant. I arrived at Universal Studios at 8 o'clock in the morning and played Hammy's favorite Harry Potter Castle, which was really convenient.
The boss is Indian, and there are many Indians nearby. The boss seemed to be quite smart. He said at first that smoking was not allowed in the room and that he would be charged $71 for miscellaneous fees. When he saw that I had to agree and that he was coming to Universal Studios as a family, he immediately became very enthusiastic and even gave me some chocolates as a small gift. They didn't charge us any more deposit for our stay. There is a 711 supermarket nearby, which is convenient for shopping. I also saw homeless people.
The hotel fee was prepaid by Ctrip. When it arrived, there was a miscellaneous fee of US$71. Because it was not stated when booking, Ctrip also refunded me RMB510 as compensation. The result was satisfactory. It seems that this hotel charges miscellaneous fees, so please pay attention when booking.

It's pretty good. It feels like a homestay, but it's pretty clean overall. It's very close to Universal Studios. It only takes about ten minutes by taxi.

The location is good, there are many restaurants and 711 next to it.
There are only about 15 rooms in the entire hotel, and each room has its own parking space. It is about 20 minutes' walk from Universal Studios, which is very convenient.
The only drawback is that there is no breakfast, but overall it is good.
