This is our second time staying here. It was a comfortable room, really good, friendly service. It was my birthday and they covered the bed in rose petals and left me a balloon, it made me feel really special and was so kind.

Better Than Average L.A. Motel

This has become our go-to place when we need to stay in the Studio City/Universal area of Los Angeles. It's not fancy (very basic furnishings) but the beds are comfortable and the rooms are quiet. Staff is friendly and efficient. For an overnight stay in L.A., the rates are very reasonable and you can leave your car parked there at no additional charge.
