Hotel Angeleno
"The room was cozy, although there was a balcony, but they locked it, so you can't really go outside or open the door! The only problem I have is that the water wasn't hot enough; it's on the warm side. The hotel is in the middle of the highway, so if you don't drive like me, you are stuck!"

The Garland
"The staff were so polite, and we loved the theme of the hotel and the movies in the heated pool in the evening. We booked it to go to universal studios since they offer the free shuttle. Our family enjoyed the hotel more than universal itself."
