We were able to book three rooms for evacuation from the Eaton fire. The rooms were clean and spare. The linens were ample and the showerhead very luxurious (not so drought-conscious, but we enjoyed the splurge). I recommend requesting a unit as far back from Ventura Blvd as possible to get some quiet. This is a classic pull-up parking motor inn from the road-trip era!

Originally I had reserved a new modern hotel property 6 miles from Universal Studios. I decided that I wanted something closer. The super cute El Royale popped up with its great reviews. The 1.1 mile walk, dining locations, shopping was another draw for me. So I switched my reservation to El Royale. My college age son and I arrived really early (10 AM) on Saturday morning so we couldn't check in yet. Mr. Javier greeted us warmly Ave have us lots of tips for our stay. We decided to walk to Universal City Walk following the easy map Javier gave us. It was a nice walk after a long flight, and we could plan our USH park day. We ate lunch, visited shops, then walked back to the hotel. We checked in--the room was clean, simple, roomy. We were very happy. The bed was super comfy (like all the other reviews said!) and the towels were fluffy and clean. That evening we walked and got fabulous pizza at Lucifer's Pizza (take a right from El Royale). My son forgot to bring a sweatshirt so we waited to Marshall's a couple blocks away. The next morning we uber'd to USH for $9. We took a midday break and walked back, then uber'd back to USH for dinner and rides again. Our final day was spent at walk of fame and a Lakers game. The El Royale and staff were so great and helpful. The hotel is so cute--very retro 1950's I Love Lucy vibe. The area was so close to a Walgreens, Starbucks, Ralph's/Kroger, What A Peach (yummy smoothies), In and Out Burger. I will definitely book here again!

It is definitely a hidden gem and convenient for Universal Studios. The room was clean and inviting. The Guest service was also amazing. I was able to park prior to my check-in. And complete check-in later that night. They took the time to make sure my room key worked and where to park. And how to get to Universal. I needed my tires looked at before driving back home to Vegas. And there was great spot down the road. And close to Costco for gas and Portos. Highly recommend and would stay there again!

Our family went to Universal Stuidos and this was a very close stay. We had a Chevy truck and cloudn't fit in the personal garage and had to parallel park near the lobby, but all was enclosed with a gate they close at midnight. Bed was clean and comfortable for a quick one night stay.

AMAZING GEM

Our stay at El Royale was INCREDIBLE! We loved the friendly service and extreme cleanliness of the room and property. Having the little carport next to our room was an amazing touch and made us smile. We will certainly be returning to El Royale whenever we need to stay in the area!

Definitely not what I expected. The main picture on the listing makes it seem like the hotel is the Comcast building. However it’s a charming old studio apartment, or at least that’s what it seems like, complete with attached garages. This was a comfortable and quiet place to lie our heads down for a few days why visiting my mother in law in the hospital.
