Charming, classic hotel in Studio City
If you are in the area for business or pleasure, this is a convenient location to get to anywhere in the East Valley (Sherman Oaks, Studio City, NoHo) and they have a free shuttle to Universal Studios. The rooms are classic/old school....rooms are fairly large....beds are comfy...bathrooms are small. Its also nice to have a balcony in case you want to step outside. It would be nice if they invested in some flat screen tv's, instead of the old 1990 clunkers they have now & they could get rid of some of the antiquated furniture. Also, keep in mind there's an $11 fee for parking (which is discounted by 50% if you have a AAA card). Overall a good stay for one night.
Also, the staff is very friendly & helpful. There's also a nice, large pool, that you can enjoy when it's nice out. Starbucks is right across the street if you need your caffeine fix.
