Good hotel near Universal and nice part of LA
We stayed at this hotel for 3 days in June because of its location to Universal. One could get the bus from across the road to universal station and go one stop to Hollywood and Vine. The Studios were very near for the tours. We went for a great short drive over the Hollywood hills to Beverley Hills. Try and avoid the freeways and go on roads like Ventura as you will see much more. As we entered to lobby of the hotel we thought we had stepped back in time as it was very 50/60's kitch. The lobby smelt a bit the first time we entered the corridor to the lifts at the back of the hotel and we thought 'oh no' but the rooms were large and basic and cleaned every day. We did not get this smell again. There was a laundary which was useful and the pool was heated like a bath so you could go swimming at any time of day. Only fault was there was no fridge but there was a GREAT supermarket called 'Ralphs' across the road. Never tried the hotel food but there was a large selection. Felt very safe around this area and would definately recommend this hotel .
