Lovely quiet hotel, Mediterranean feel
I would stay here again. Location is perfect for Universal Studios and there's a free shuttle service that drops you off right at the door. Rooms were modern and clean. Smoking area in the courtyard if you need it. Tula's is a must go if you're there, lovely restaurant and lounge. Our room was facing the car park which wasn't very nice but I'm sure they would've moved us if we asked. We weren't too fussed. Staff weren't ridiculously helpful but good enough. Got asked to turn our music down when we sat on our balcony - it was 6:30pm and I considered it to be a respectful volume to other guests but oh well. Due to the location I'd recommend renting a car. Also do an airport shuffle for $23 if you need it. Overall I'd stay again if I was back in North Hollywood.
