If you are seeking a hotel in close proximity to Universal Studios, this hotel will meet your requirements. It is indeed within walking distance, approximately a 5-minute walk across two busy roads, where you can board the shuttle bus. While it is possible to walk to the studios themselves, it is worth noting that the route involves an uphill climb, the shuttle buses operate frequently
Now, regarding the hotel itself, the initial impression may be somewhat dated and perhaps slightly unsettling due to its location on a busy main road. The car park is notably small, and the reception area is secured, requiring guests to be buzzed in. Additionally, there is an extra tax per night that may not have been previously communicated, and a substantial amount of paperwork to complete upon check-in. It is also important to be aware of the unusual rule that guests will be charged if blood is found on the bedsheets.
The hotel room itself was to be the smallest we've encountered during our numerous road trips to America. The initial impression of the decor may be somewhat depressing, and the bedroom furniture appears well-worn. The table next to the bed poses a safety hazard, and the bathroom is quite compact, lacking adequate storage space
On a positive note, the room was clean, the cleaning staff try to make it a pleasant environment for guests. However, what wasnt mentioned was the noise from the traffic which did keep us awake.
