“Great value for food, fantastic service, and a lovely view of the distant mountains. The free breakfast was a plus, and the suite was unique with plenty of space and two TVs. The location was unbeatable—a short walk to restaurants, convenience stores, the freeway, downtown LA, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, a premium mall, the metro station, and the Universal Studios shuttle stop. The staff were incredibly nice. About a 15-minute walk from the Close-Up Theatre.”
