First time staying here and absolutely loved it and felt safe. I was traveling with my two children to universal studios. The walk is about 12 mins. Close places to eat and was convenient. Starbucks and Ralph’s was close by for snacks. Awesome sushi restaurant across the street. Place was awesome with car parking at no additional cost. Bed was just a bit uncomfortable but not a big issue. Gate closes at midnight and was awesome for safety. No noise and it was peaceful as we slept. Will definitely be staying here again.

This property was is so cute, when I checked in Robert was there to greet me and he is the sweetest ever! although they don't have breakfast they do have pastries available in the morning. But, if that's not your jam they are not far away from other eateries. I will definitely book with them again. Thank you guys for making this family vacation with my girls one to remember :)

Parking was small, but free, staff were very very friendly. Rooms are very very clean. The only problem no closet. I would recommend in bathroom area some hooks or a pole to hang some clothes. Other than that loved it.

Hmmm Excellent Ratings are very questionable! First off, it said hotel on website, it’s not a hotel- it’s a motel! Driving into the lot, if I wouldn’t have already paid-(and a lot!) and wasn’t so tired , I would have drove away! From the outside- beat up separate little cottages- tight parking too. The room was pretty good inside- clean and comfy, but.. since it was a sketchy area and I was alone with my granddaughter- I didn’t feel too safe. And they didn’t have a deadbolt-so ended up putting a chair against the door. Breakfast was coffee , some packaged muffins and instant oatmeal The proprietor was nice. Lastly, there was an extra charge after I booked (property fee) I didn’t notice since I was busy at universal studios , and I assumed all fees were included per the description on Expedia’s website.

The front desk was not staffed. I called the hotel ahead of time trying to see if we can store our luggage before check in. The person on the phone told me to be there after 10 am. When I got there at 10:30 am, a person told men he's the gardener and he helped me store my luggage. When we checked out, there is a gardener serving us but all he did was a to have us writing down our names on a form. The place is newly renovated and very clean. However, there is no pool or outside sitting area where you can sit and relax. If you are looking for a clean place to sleep, this world work. It has all the basics with microwave, kettle and fridge.
