Black mold in bathroom made my grandkids sick not hot water in sink and shower. Feet all black from dirty floors. Back sliding door had no lock for intruders only stick on bottom. Lights on all night in parking garage and blinds didn’t close tight for refund. Horrible two nights. Lots of homeless on street outside harassing us when we walked to and from hotel and poop piles on street by hotel. Unreal. And not close to universal like it says. 10 minute walk to shuttle that comes every 20 minutes. Requested compensation for mold and no hot water etc and said 3rd party booking had to contact you. Thanks expecting to be compensated for such an awful situation not as described on their website

'Walking distance to Universal' is a stretch. We did walk, but more than half of the walk is up a steep hill. Right before check in, I got an email saying the rooms are under renovation so they don't look like the pictures. The room was very bare, which is fine, but everything seemed cheaply done. The bathroom was sort of updated though the cabinets were well worn and bashed up. In short, we paid WAY too much for this room. It should be around $100/night and we paid triple that. The staff was nice though. Maybe once it's renovated it will be worth staying there?

Close To Universal Studios
It was is walking distance to Universal Studios shuttle bus. And a couple of restaurants. Had the double queen suite plenty roomy. Could use some touch ups are far as appearances.Like the lamp in my room was damaged but they still left it in the room and the tile work in the bathroom needs some help, beds were very squeaky. No ice maker on the second floor so i had a little journey for ice. Lots of traffic noise and traffic in front of the building. If i stayed agin i would upgrade to the presidental suite. And ask to be on the 3rd floor. We were lucky enough to find a single parking spot so we didn't have to double stack park and leave the keys with the front desk but because of the traffic and parking we decided to walking so we wouldn't have to deal with it.

Don't be fooled
On the website it said cots were available, but when we got there, they said our room was too narrow for one. This was not listed anywhere on the website. We requested extra blankets and pillows to makeshift a bed. We were given extra blankets, then they said they would go get pillows and be right back. They never came back, so we went downstairs to ask again. The woman was rude and said they didn't have any extra pillows at all on the whole property. The next morning around 8am, however, room service was happy to give us 4 extras. Room was smaller than we thought. We recieved an email only after checking in saying that the room would look different from pictures because of a remodel, which was misleading. The room was not super clean and the bathroom door opened into the front door. Of the amenities listed on the website, there wasn't a "deli" nor a "cafe" on site. I also didn't see a 24-hour fitness center. The pool was locked and in the parking garage. The in-house store charged $7 for a bottle of water. For a tip, there is a Ralph's market just two blocks down. Shop there instead to avoid more price gouging. For $300 a night, you would think it would be nicer. It is honestly probably considered false advertising, but I'm not a professional on that front. The only positive was the proximity to starbucks (since they didn't have a cafe on site) and Universal Studios.

Checkin was weird. After checking in we had to wait for the front desk to run up and physically check if our room was ready. Took 25 min that it was “ready” we got there around 530pm. The pool was freezing cold. Rooms were dark going for a modern look but missed the mark. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and the bartender was great. Not the staffs fault but I felt they were understaffed and hotel process not managed correctly by owners.
