Best for
Budget-minded travelers who want quick access to I-405 and a straightforward place to sleep with parking included are the best fit here. It can also suit guests who value basics like free Wi-Fi and the option of a kitchenette in some rooms, plus an outdoor pool for breaks between drives to major attractions such as Universal Studios Hollywood.
Travel tips
Because the property is a block from I-405, expect this to be a drive-oriented stay; plan your sightseeing and meal stops around car travel. Universal Studios Hollywood/Universal CityWalk and Hollywood-area attractions are roughly 15–19 km away, so allow extra time for Los Angeles traffic. If you plan to use on-site parking, keep track of any parking-pass requirements during your stay.
