The hotel offers lovely and very comfortable rooms with stunning views over North LA, providing easy access to Universal City and Studios. However, noise from neighboring rooms and the hallway can be noticeable at times. The presence of 2 double beds in the big and fancy room was a bonus, enhancing the incredible view.

My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were comfortable with an amazing view from the 19th floor, although there was a slight issue with the smell of marijuana even though it was designated as non-smoking. The customer service promised to send someone to address it, but unfortunately, no one showed up. The room was split by a charming French door.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean, spacious, and had lovely little details like free Wi-Fi, a complimentary water bottle, and plenty of outlets near the bed for all my devices. The only downside was that there was smoking in the vicinity, but the front desk was quick to address it. The amenities provided, such as large bottles of toiletries, a big blowdryer, and even a robe and slippers, were top-notch. The recent renovations really showed in the size, cleanliness, and excellent facilities of the rooms.

Staying on the 19th floor, I found the rooms barely had enough walking space between the bed and the wall. Unfortunately, as we were given Double Queen bed rooms, there was no room for a crib or baby items. On the bright side, the hotel's convenient location meant we were within 2 minutes of many attractions.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were small but manageable, with a comfortable bed, but the initial room we were placed in was outdated and dirty. The service was good and helpful, although I expected more from a 5-star hotel. The location was fantastic for visitors to Universal Studios, with a shuttle available and within walking distance. The dining experience was a bit pricey and focused on quantity over quality. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

Beside the spacious and very clean room, my stay involved navigating a flight of stairs, which was unexpected but manageable. The service was a mix of rudeness during check-in but redeemed by helpful planning assistance for our vacation needs. Despite some inconveniences, the location was amazing, close to UNIVERSAL STUDIO and other attractions. The dining experience had its downsides, like limited complimentary options, yet the facilities were satisfactory during my stay.
