The room was pretty big granted I paid for one with a couch an and king bed. The beds however had blood on the sheets. Towels were very limited. I had to keep ordering more through room service. I’m pretty sure the couch had bed bugs because after I sat on it I had these bites on my legs and had to go to the ER because it was getting worse. The shower bed was so dirty. I wanted to go to the pool but it was gross.

The location isn’t beautiful. Surrounded by other buildings. When we arrived, we couldn’t find a luggage cart. We had to carry so much to our room. The fold out bed is so uncomfortable. Other beds were good. People upstairs are heard walking or stomping/ jumping so thin floors. Breakfast is 1 out of 5.

It was pretty warm in the hallways and the breakfast wasn't great. It was nice they had a capuccino machine but for the price, I expected a breakfast at least on par with the Best Western we stayed at in Carlsbad for half the price. The room was good though and the bed was comfy, AC worked well in there.

I like the fact that this hotel is close to everything. We stayed here when we went to Universal Studios for a decent price.

The only thing i didnt like was the fact that i could hear noices from the apartment nextdoor at night.

Overall the room was clean and tidy on our first night stay. However, pillow was too flat and not firm causing us an uncomfortable night sleep. Plus, the AC unit in the room was making weird noise that woke us up in the middle of the night. The complimentary breakfast was just so-so, nothing remarkable. Its location near the Universal Studio theme park was the main reason we chose this place to stay.

Clean place. Only negatives about this place was the towels were too rough, the water pressure in the shower too soft, and the noise level coming from the hall. There was a gap in our door but I don’t know if this is for every room. The hotel was pretty empty when we were there so it was not too loud but being in the room I could hear a lot from people in the hall.

Hotel was under construction and there was no disclaimer on site about this prior to reserving. Based on the exterior construction, you can’t even tell that the building is a hotel. This was also the worst shower ever- shower head is leveled for someone who is 5 ft tall. Hardly any water pressure. Holes in towels.

We came after Universal Studios Horror nights and checked in late, at midnight. The guy at the front desk was fabulous. Something I noticed in reviews… our AC unit didnt turn on AT the unit. I turned it on and then used the dial on the wall to make it work. Then it worked perfect. Apparently there isss an elevator that comes from the garage to the front lobby, fyi. I just didn’t notice it. Theres also multiple levels in the underground garage.. we parked on the immediate floor that we entered. It was straight forward pricing, no surprises. We slept, it was good. The TV was wonky with the TV guide (and how they line up with channels) but theres a spongebob 24/7 channel if you have kids haha. We called to check out and nothing was weird about any of it. We felt safe, which is big for me. I dont wake up early enough to check out the breakfast haha.

Sadly, not a memorable stay. The shower head only allowed water to come out in a trickle in the center of the head. The toilet seat didn’t fit and was unstable. The room was constantly hot and stuffy even with the air and fan going. We asked for two extra pillows (not an unreasonable request we thought) but were told they wouldn’t provide extras. These little details need to be fixed as the hotel is in a great location and close to Universal Studios. It could be great, but sadly was mediocre.

Had a very pleasant stay of 2 nights and 1.5 days....very convenient location to Universal Studios, dining, Whole foods, Vons and many others. Breakfast was very good as well. Overall, very nice location and excellent staff!!

He secured it in a safe until Andrew the Manager could call me the next day. He Fed Ex the ring to me and I have it back! Honesty and Integrity, something you dont get much these days!!! Thank you

Front desk staff was very rude, we road tripped to CA (18hr drive) and got there 1 hour before check in super tired and explained everything but he wouldn’t check us in until 4pm. His tone and body language was very unprofessional then he proceeded to tell me I booked the wrong room to have kids stay in which makes no sense. We were there 4 days and 3 nights not once did house keeping clean our room until the 3rd day (last day) I called front desk and told them I’ve had the pass on the door for them to clean the room and they haven’t yet. They said house keeping comes every other day!! When housekeeping finally came she was unhappy that I had called and complained of a dirty room for the past days we’ve been there. She cleaned while we waited outside the room. It was quick and not thorough she also left all the trash in the room. Which I noticed after she left. Overall not worth your money they charge a lot per night and worst service in my life. I’d never want my kids to see ppl like these ppl at this hotel. Very bad energy and rude.

The hotel is an a great spot close to many shops and restaurants and minutes away from universal studios and warner bros. We asked for late check out the evening before our morning check-out and were told a 12:00 PM time, and in the morning at 10:30 we were called by what i would presume is the manager and were told we were already late for check-out and had to leave at 11 because, once we got all of our gatherings in order the same person who called the room opened the door of our room 3 minutes before 11 AM which was the original check out. Extremely unprofessional and rude in the way he approached the situation.

Even though the location is close to Universal studio, but this location of best western is one of the worst by far I ever stayed. Staff was impatient and lack of providing information upfront, for example, by the time I arrived, I would likely need to know all the informations regarding my room located at, where and which parking space I am allowed to park, staff supposedly should informed , not that I have to ask these questions one by one. And yet I have not finished, staff (front desk) immediately pass me my room keys and disappeared right away. By the time I check out, I ask the front desk should I present at the front desk? What’s the procedure to reclaim my deposit, and should I return my room keys, same as my check-in experience, lack of communication and useless answers.

There are several restaurants within 1-2 blocks. And our room was very quiet. It is an easy walk to Warner Brothers studio tour.

It is also just 10/15 minutes from the Burbank airport. The room was comfortable and clean, and it was very quiet (except for street noise like sirens and such, but that’s to be expected) Would definitely stay there again if I need to be in the area!

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Took my family of 4 to Universal for a 2-day stay. First the pros…David at check-in was very pleasant, plenty of FREE parking in underground hotel garage, the rooms were clean and ready when we arrived, the hotel was quiet, the location had plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and they have a free breakfast bar. Lastly, very short drive to Universal Studios…maybe 10 minutes. If there were any cons to the stay…beds were a bit firm (I like them like that, but my wife does not), and breakfast was not always fully stocked. In the hotel’s defense, they were trying but a bit slow in restocking. Pretty standard blah breakfast bar (eggs, sausage, cereal, waffle makers, and various juice and breads). Overall a very nice stay. We would not hesitate to stay there again.
