Ghetto Boutique
This place is not in a bad spot if you have to be in studio city, right in the middle of ventura with a delightful view of the side of a freeway. 
the pros: the rooms are very large and pretty clean. they give you free beer between 5 and 7 if you feel like hanging out in the lobby.
the cons: the pool is the size of a large hot tub and is in a concrete room in the back of the parking garage. we laughed out loud when we saw it and heard several guests expecting a spa hotel complaining about it. the spa is also closed on sunday and monday, which is odd for a place that calls itself a hotel and spa. the photos on the website are VERY misleading.
there is no restaurant -- just a refrigerated bodega case of sandwiches and snacks. there's a bar in the lobby which wants to look like a boutique hotel, but the whole experience really felt more ghetto boutique. not bad, just a little depressing. if you're in studio city for work, you could do worse. maybe.
