The rooms were spacious (we had a 2 queen beds room), the bathroom was clean and the ammenities nice. The hotel lobby is very beautiful too. The hotel is very well located so we were able to walk around town. The hotel offers complimentary parking outside its premises. The staff recommended us a nice place to have breakfast and it was great (The Belgian Cafe).

Close to Universal City, home of more than 50 shops and restaurants, this hotel in North Hollywood, California offers contemporary amenities such as free wireless internet and an on-site restaurant. An outdoor pool and hot tub is also available to guests. We loved the overall vibe and decor of the hotel: family-friendly, yet cool and stlyish with a very relaxed 70s vibe from when you walk in. Restaurant and pool area have a real holiday-feel about them. We loved that the breakfast buffet used proper cutlerly and plates. We only stayed two nights as part of our 2 weeks California road trip. But could very well imagine for a family to stay there for more days doing sight-seeing and then relaxing at the pool and using all the additional entertainment such as open-air film screenings, guided walks etc. This hotel was definitely the highlight accommodation of our trip because of its unique 70s style and very friendly, laid-back atmosphere.
