“This location caters primarily to families and those on vacation seeking an affordable base near Universal Studios, but be prepared for basic accommodations. While functional air conditioning is a plus, reports of cleanliness issues and off-site key retrieval after certain hours suggest a degree of unpredictability. For budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location over guaranteed comfort, it could suffice with appropriate expectation-setting.”
