Hotel is very close to universal. Staff is friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Only negative is the freeway noise.

This is the second time coming to this hotel for Universal Studios. Last time we were upgraded and had a good experience in the suite but that was in 2017. The standard room we got was pretty dingy. The bed was in a corner and the rest of the room was pretty bare with a single stand with mini fridge, coffee machine and microwave. There was a table and dresser with the TV lined up on the opposite side of the bed. The shower looked REALLY old so it was a good thing that we brought shower shoes. Would not have wanted to stand in there. Next time, we would choose somewhere. We only chose it because we had a good experience last time but I guess only their suite was nice. They do give you some vouchers for a free drink at their bar though. We got 2. My boyfriend thought the vodka cola he had was pretty good. read more

This hotel charges a $100 deposit a check in and a $21 service fee at check in which I was NOT informed about when I called the hotel prior to making a booking. As a result of this oversight I was NOT able to check in! The hotel also charges $34 for parking! I did however notice a bar and restaurant next to the lobby as well as a snack bar and guest lounge read more

My husband and I were in town to visit Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios and found BLVD Hotel & Studios based off of distance as we weren't renting a car for this trip. Check in went quickly and the staff were really friendly and welcoming! Their lounge area looked pretty modern, but on the smaller side. They did have a decent bar area and a market for snacks and drinks. The lobby area gave off a more homey vibe...our room on the other hand, did not. While our room had all of the amenities, it still felt like it was lacking some kind of personal touch. The bathroom looked clean to the naked eye, but the shower and sink would not drain after we used them. There was also an a/c unit in the room that did a good job cooling us off, but was very loud when it kicked on and off which was annoying at night when we were trying to sleep. I also didn't think the bed was very comfortable and the pillows were small - almost the size of throw pillows which was weird. We also heard weird tapping and clicking noises at night - no idea where it was coming from. We didn't use the microwave, fridge or coffee maker since it was a quick 24 hour trip. I honestly think I might have complained about some of the stuff had we stayed longer, but I didn't find it necessary for a 1 day trip and being there only to shower and sleep. I know that the hotel was doing some renovations and I think our room was redone, but you could see paint splatter in certain places like either they did a fast job or no one came to inspect once it was completed. Overall, I don't think I would book this hotel again even with it being only about 4 blocks from Universal Studios. I left thinking that I don't think the room was cleaned very well and we were also exhausted from a bad night's sleep. read more

Very disappointed with my stay at BLVD Hotel & Studios. There were hairs on the sheets, a spider crawling on the pillows, mold in the bathroom, and the sink would not drain. The old AC left the room humid and uncomfortable, and the pillows were cheap and flat. Overall, the hotel did not feel clean or well maintained, and I would not stay here again. read more

Update - 2 years later and this place still haunts me. Avoid the BLVD Hotel and Studios at all costs. Every hotel l've stayed at since reminds me of how awful my experience here was. I can't shake the trauma from my stay-nothing comes close to how poorly I was treated and the chaos I endured at the BLVD Hotel. To recap: during my 3-day stay, there was one day with no water at all-no toilet, no sink, no shower. I wasn't informed when it went out, nor when it came back on. On my last night, a bathroom pipe burst, flooding my room and hallway and damaging my personal belongings. Attempts to reach management went ignored for over a week; the front desk always claimed "management isn't here." Even Booking.com couldn't get in touch with them. After two weeks, the GM finally contacted me. He accused me of tampering with the pipe-despite it bursting at 4 a.m. the day I was checking out. He offered a refund for only one night and refused to compensate for damage to my belongings. On top of all this, the lobby often smelled like hookah or marijuana, which is completely inappropriate given that there are children at this hotel. Honestly, save yourself the headache and spend the extra $200-300/night at hotels closer to Universal. This was hands-down the worst hotel experience of my life, and I've stayed in third-world country hotels and hostels. I still can't believe people are giving this place more than 1 star. Avoid it. read more

This place was terrible, point blank. Service itself was... subpar? There were cockroaches present throughout the duration of our stay, most of which being in the shower/bathroom area. The room was also just dirty. The bedding felt unclean, the floor felt sticky and tracked visible dirt in a clean towel, and the mirrors look like they had been cleaned with a 30 year old squeegee. Upon arrival, we were hit with a surprise surcharge and notice that we would need to pay $30 A DAY for parking. After returning back to the hotel after our first day, we arrived to a light fixture sitting on the bed, exactly where either one of our heads would've been. The socket was completely exposed, and it seems like the light wasn't properly secured whatsoever. This was an extreme disappointment, and our disappointment grew more after reporting it to the front desk. The man we spoke to seemed disinterested and like he didn't actually care about what happened. We were told that maintenance would come by and fix it, and they did. However, it seems that they stepped on the bed with uncovered shoes, leaving a print on the bedding. The parking lot itself is completely asinine. The parking spots are doubled up, give or take about 7 spots in total on either end that are singular car-length spots. They require that you pull your car in all the way meaning that you'll potentially be blocked in. If you happen to block another car in, you have to leave your keys at the front desk so a random hotel employee can move your car. If you park in the farther of the two spots, and a car isn't in front of your own, you'll be double charged for double parking. This was not said to us directly, and is instead presented on an easily missable and very small sign off to the left side of the front counter. Sounds like a great concept, doesn't it? If given the option, I'd never willingly pay money to be subjected to such an awkward parking solution again. The bed and pillows were both just alright. No positives or negatives, both my girlfriend and I were neutral about this. As for the sheets, they had rips at the corners and seemed really worn. The shower on the other hand, the shower was another major downside. I have never operated such a pointless and overly-complicated shower in my life. Others have summed it up perfectly and I back everything said, so I'll let their words carry this section of the review. Everything said about this place is true, even all this time later. This place seemed great from the Google reviews, but the Yelp reviews tell a different story. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Long, so summarizing: (Edited and adding my wife's comments after she read my review) 1. Weird Parking 2. Shady undisclosed fees when booking 3. Outlets 4. Weak water pressure in the toilet 5. Weird shower 6. Cottage cheese pillows and uncomfortable mattress 7. Bedding smelled like mildew (Wife's addition) 8. No counterspace and no dresser (Wife's additon) 9. Horrible lighting (Wife's addition) We stayed here on my wife's birthday trip to Universal and I'm pretty disappointed to be honest. I'm not trying to say "DON'T STAY HERE" I'm just saying I wont stay here again. Right from the start, the parking is weird. You have to double park and either you have to mind not being blocked in and waiting for the front desk to move the other car, or if you are going to block another car in, you have to hand your keys over to the front desk for them to move your car without your knowledge. It's just odd. At check in you have to pay a little over $30 for the ability to double park. On top of it there was another around $30 surcharge on top of the regular rate we already paid for. Isn't that illegal now? Don't you have to do upfront pricing as of Jan 1. 2025? As mentioned by others, the electrical outlets suck and anything with just 2 prongs won't stay in b/c of gravity or any slight movement things will get unplugged. After years of travel soccer we've learned to just travel with a couple of 3 prong power strips where ever we go, which helped out quite a bit (I recommend just keeping one, or a power block that has outlet splitters and USB ports, into your suitcase permanently anyway). As mentioned by others, the toilets are scary how little water pressure there is. We adopted the "flush early, flush option" approach As mentioned by others, the showers are just weird... even the instructions need instructions. One valve controls temp whle the other one controls water "pressure" as they call it, but in reality its water location, either water coming out of the normal showerhead, or it coming out of the "fancy" overhead ceiling showerhead. As mentioned by others, the mattresses suck, you feel every spring and move. My wife made mention the amount of tossing and turning I was doing was an annoyance, I told her, her's were as well. My original thoughts that I haven't seen "as mentioned by others", some of their pillows SUCK, so double check them before you try to sleep. The best way I can describe it, the cotton in them has all clumped up in these tiny little ball groupings. picture it like if cottage cheese was made from cotton, it would feel like that. It made for an uncomfortable night. The bedding somewhat smelled of mildew, something we didn't really realize until later when we realized our clothes began to smell after laying in bed for a little bit. There is very limited counterspace if you have "stuff" like different Ipads, or snacks, or other items The lighting is awful in both the bathroom and the main room. This, or so I've been told, is a nightmare while trying to get ready, do hair and put on make up. Our room's view was a concrete all with no view of daylight (even though we were on the top floor), so this may be different for rooms with a street view. So if you will be getting ready and need ample lighting, request a street view. Over all, I mean... I won't stay here again, but please read the other yelp reviews and you'll see all the other "as mentioned by others" items... b/c its very real. So I won't give it 1 star, b/c I read the reviews and knew a little bit of what I was getting myself into. So if you stay here, you're signing up for all of it, the good and the bad. But people aren't lying about the bad. read more

Bed bugs...I just noticed a few hours after waking up my body is covered in bites and i'm itchy everywhere. not only was it so effing dirty but there was dust and hair every where.

From the moment we walked into the room, we were hit with an atrocious odor. There was absolutely no view to speak of. The refrigerator made loud popping and ticking noises all night long, making it nearly impossible to sleep. Safety and cleanliness were clearly not priorities here--smoke detectors were hanging from the ceiling, and garbage was overflowing in the parking garage. Speaking of the garage, that's where the so-called pool is located. It's a 15x15' hole in the ground, completely unheated, and not even remotely appealing for a six-year-old on vacation. The entire hotel reeked of marijuana, including the hallways and lobby. Hot water was another issue--don't expect a quick shower. It takes a full 10 minutes for the water to warm up. This hotel is not within walking distance of any respectable restaurants, and I would not recommend walking in the area at all, especially with children. It felt unsafe and uncomfortable throughout our stay. Avoid if you're looking for a clean, family-friendly, or even moderately comfortable place to stay. read more

Stayed here May 9, 2025. The AC fan made noise most of the night, the outlet plugs in my room were too loose to charge my phone, and the shower was difficult to figure out. Tip: the shower has a pressure knob so you have to pull it out at same time as the water knob. There's a small label next to it. I shouldn't have to read an operation label in the shower. Also, the water/drain in the bathroom sink had a bad smell so I used the water from a water bottle to brush my teeth. The walk from this hotel to Universal includes crossing a couple of busy streets and walking under a freeway which is essentially the urinal of less fortunate locals. One woman pulled her pants down and squatted right in front of us on the way back to the hotel at night. These room problems, plus potential hazards of the brief walk to Universal, make coming back here a solid "no." read more

My husband had already booked this hotel through his job, before I gotta chance to do a little investigating. Nonetheless, after reading the reviews, I was petrified. He was unable to get his money back. And all the other hotels were booked, this situation felt bigger than me. So I did what I do best, Pray . Well & Thank God! The room was clean, daily, the people were professional and friendly. I do understand what people were talking about regarding the area (not the best location) along with the electrical outlets. Other than that I can't complain. 3rd day here... So far so good..... because this place is near the metro transit area (about a 1/2 mile). The universal studios shuttle is in walking distance, which will drop you off in front of universal of studios. I'm giving this place a three and a half. I can't go higher b/c of the location. (Ex... homelessness issue) read more

We stayed at BLVD Hotel & Spa as a group of six from Aug 1-4 and had such a wonderful experience. The rooms were comfortable, the location was great, and the staff were super friendly. What really stood out was how amazing they were after we checked out. We went to Vegas until Aug 14, and during that time a package of mine arrived late (after we had already left). The hotel kept it safe for me and gave it back when we returned--such a relief! On the day of our flight back to Singapore (a 19-hour journey), they let us store our luggage while we shopped in LA. But the absolute highlight? That evening, before heading to the airport, they even let us use a room to shower. After a whole day out, that was a lifesaver. This level of hospitality is rare, and I really appreciate how thoughtful and accommodating the staff were. Highly recommend BLVD Hotel & Spa--they truly go above and beyond for their guests! read more

This was one of the worse hotels I've ever been in... Cons: * Toilet flush is very weak. I'm so glad I never had to poop here. * The shower didn't drain so my feet were fully submerged during my shower. * Both bedside lamps turn on but the outlets did not work on both. However, the desk lamp's outlet works. * My AC was not set to F° Pros: * Front desk folks are nice though! read more

When we arrived we thought this is very nice! Then we noticed the tears on sheets, the smelly drain kept us from using this restroom and used the other one. The sheets were also very torn and needs updated sheets that aren't all destroyed.

The hotel is conveniently located to all major attractions and the staff including manager Marisol went beyond the call of duty as we hosted severely wounded and PTSD Veterans for a weekend in Los Angeles. These heroes loved staying there and loved the welcome and respect they received from the hotel. They felt it was a home away from home. A definite top of the list choice for an affordable staycation or visit. read more

Not even gonna lie, I was a little nervous to stay here after reading the reviews. We arrived a little after 3pm to check in I was informed my room wasn't ready yet which is a little annoying as check in time is stated as 3pm. I was told it would be 15-20 more minutes before my room would be ready. Room was a nice size, pretty clean just a little depressing as there wasn't much natural light but we weren't going to be spending all of our time in the room anyway. The surrounding area of the hotel was a bit rough around the edges. Due to the homeless encampment across the street in an empty parking lot. Also, the parking situation is a bit odd. Overall, the hotel is decently priced for the area. read more

DO NOT STAY HERE. Front staff is so unhelpful and unprofessional. They don't answer calls and the Indian man at the front desk says "I can change the charges to whatever I want and I can charge whatever I want" when asked about all the hidden fees. And I literally have this on video, so don't accuse me of lying BLVD hotel. They don't give you your "refundable deposit" back and if you have multiple rooms, they charge you the deposit multiple times. Even if it's 1 reservation. So imagine 2+ rooms under the same reservation, each getting charged a $100 deposit and then not getting it REFUNDED after checking out. So disappointed. Feeling so scammed. And the rooms were messy, bathrooms are dirty and dark & everything just had terrible lighting throughout. Save your time and money. Please. read more

I am currently staying here for a surprise trip for my kids to universal studios. I was sold by the pictures, that there was a pool and that it was walkable distance to universal studios. Unfortunately I am regretting staying here immensely. 1. The pool my kids were excited to go in the front desk staff were surprised we were going and had to unlock it for us and said umm it's unheated. My kids put their foot in and it was an instant no. 2. The beds are so uncomfortable, you can feel the springs in the mattress, like you are staying in a motel or something. The pillows are these small squares that are lumpy and hard, not what you would expect for "hotel" pillows. 3. The well to universal isn't really a direct walk, it's a walk to a shuttle. So if you're planning for an exact time you want to get there, don't think just walking time like they state. 4. I've never had such a confusing shower experience, there's literal instructions. Feels like such a waste of money spent on this trip but what to do at this point. read more

I wouldn't stay here again. -Confusing front desk staff -Half a roll of toilet paper and a random tampon on the bathroom counter when we first got to our room -Broken coffee pot with no free coffee in the lobby -Complicated shower....that eventually broke and sprayed water all over the bathroom (okay, that was partially my fault but don't have a weird shower haha) -There is no "BLVD cafe" as shown on their website, more like a "grab and go" food and drink kiosk like at the airport -Didn't use the pool but a lady told us it was really cold The great part was it's a short walk (under the freeway and up a hill) to Universal Studios and they will hold your luggage for you before and after check in read more

Giving two stars is being generous and mostly for location. The walk and tram to universal was perfect but the hotel stay was not. The sink in the bathroom barely drained, the toilet clogged several times and you'd have to hold the handle down to even get it to flush to begin with. One night in our stay, the floor of the elevator was covered in peanuts and stayed that way for two days(to hell with people with nut allergies apparently.). Little to no lighting in the room and the lights that were in there were very dim. Given it was almost $300 a night, we kind of expected better. Some of the staff was very friendly while others were pretty dismissive. Only two trolleys for luggage and both had wheel issues. Just overall not the greatest hotel experience. read more

I recently stayed at a hotel that unfortunately did not meet my expectations. Firstly, the room had a musty smell and the heat was turned up to an uncomfortable 90°F, making the room hot and unpleasant. The front desk staff were not helpful when I had questions, and the parking garage was difficult to navigate, requiring double parking. To make matters worse, my husband sprained his ankle upon arrival, and the front desk did not have any ice or a bag to help with the swelling. It seemed like they were indifferent and did not show any concern for the guest's well-being. Additionally, I was surprised to find that I had to unplug the microwave in order to plug in the fridge. This inconvenience was unexpected and inconvenient. Furthermore, after our first night, we left the hotel and returned to find that our room had not been cleaned by housekeeping. The bed was unmade, but the linens were dirty, leaving us disappointed and uncomfortable. The trash had not been emptied, no new coffee was provided Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this hotel. It appears to be falling apart and lacking proper maintenance. While it may be inexpensive, I believe there are better options available that offer better value for money. Although I did like the nice high shower head and good water pressure read more

MOLDY, PARKING IS A MESS, NO SPA, HORRIBLE LIGHTING I have no idea how this hotel has 3 stars The only pro is how close it is to Universal Studios The place is disgusting. The binder in the room says that they've limited maid services for co-vid (so for 2 yrs the rooms haven't had a deep clean - disgusting) & the lights are so dim I had to use my iPhone flashlight to get around There was mold crawling out from the bathroom mirror The shutters has visibly gunk on it The bed didn't even fit with the headboard so there's a major gap The gym was literally 4 machines in a tiny room or big closet - it's a joke The spa has been closed over 2 yrs The binder they put in rooms was also very insulting. So they don't have a spa, limited maid services, dirty rooms, but with all that they write we're going to add a service fee of $30 to each room bc of co-vid Like what? The parking is NOT free. It's not monitored so the public parks there and you are expected to leave keys there because people just double park and block you in. So you leave your keys and hotel staff who wouldn't even look up at me were expected to move my car... no thanks The binder also included a long drawn out explanation of how they don't like any animals and they're pretty much forced to let you have a service dog but plz 'expect' to be asked how they service you As a mom who has a child w/ a disability, it left a horrible taste in my mouth. I'm so glad that I traveled solo because if I had my kids I would have just drove home. read more

This place has absolutely gone downhill. My husband and I stayed here pre-covid (2019) and we remember it being pretty awesome. Given that, we decided to book a 3 night stay here over this past weekend. Pros: able to check in 1 hour before check in time. Very close to city walk/universal studios Rain shower head Cons: pool/amenities not open Bar closed 2/3 nights we were here. The bartender that was here on Saturday was a nice gal but told us she had not worked here over 4 years and this night was her first night here since then. Holes on walls and an outlet cover that looked like it had been broken for some time and not replaced. Extremely thin walls. We heard the next door hotel stayer snoring all night long 2/3 nights and when we tried to switch rooms were told that the hotel was completely booked. I absolutely do not recommend this place and regret booking here as we were celebrating our anniversary. Highly recommend the Garland which is about another half mile up the road. Great food, bar that is open and just all around better experience than this dump. read more

I really wanted to love this place but eh. I just couldn't. I feel like it tried too hard to be fancy. Th e toilet didn't have a classic handle to pull to flush so was slightly confusing. The shower had directions on how to turn it on. I feel like if you ever have directions on how to turn on a shower to bathe then you don't have a good shower. My girlfriend as well as myself needed assistance turning it on a couple times from each other because it was just weird and confusing and over complicated. Parking turned out okay but you have to intentionally double park in some situations and give them your key if you are on the outside which made me nervous. Anyways, the room was spacious but there was just little things that were kind of annoying here. Also the outlets built into our lamp weren't compatible with my phone plug for charging which was a bit annoying too read more

BLVD Hotel & Studios - Our room - Hotels Near Me - Studio City, California

Beware of this hotel. It claims to be under renovations but simple things did not work properly. We arrived after a long flight at 5 pm and our room was not ready. There were so many people waiting for their rooms that their lobby was full. When we were in the room, for the remote to work, one had to get super close to the tv for it to turn on or turn channels. The coffee maker would make one cup and die. One would have to unplug it and replug it in. And the shower faucet was wobbly and broken. There was no shower pressure. These three things are the baseline for a hotel room. Although we booked for three days, after day two, we moved to another hotel. We booked this hotel because it was close to Universal Studios but my advice to you would be to spend a bit more money and stay at the Hilton or Sheraton. It would be worth it. read more

DO NOT STAY HERE While the location of this hotel is close to universal it is not a nice hotel. The front desk staff wasn't professional. Everything seemed a little sketch. The room was dirty, sheets/bed had hair and stains on them. White furniture that was dirty and stained from usage. Lighting was terrible, recess lighting that was broken or fallen off, wall plugs weren't working to use a charger. The sliding door to the outside wouldn't latch properly and it felt really uncomfortable and unsafe. I checked out immediately and ended up at the Hilton down the road. Save yourself the trouble. read more

One word: EW. Do not stay here. I'm so confused as to how this place has good reviews. Stayed here one night and it was awful. 1. Service and check-in process is terrible. We waited for about 10 minutes before we were helped. 2. Lighting in the rooms looks like an interrogation room. Recessed white LED, it's dark and creepy. 3. Our toilet flooded. 4. The water pressure is zero and also did not drain. 5. No headboards or decor in the room, just gray and orange walls. 6. It says it is within walking distance of Universal. What they don't tell you is you have to walk the entire way UP the main hill to get there. 7. Our door deadbolt was broken and missing the half that attaches to the wall. We spent over $400 to stay here for a single night. This place is not worth more than $150. This is one of the worst hotels I've stayed in. Spend a little more and stay at the Hilton or Sheraton up the way. read more

By far the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. The furnitures were peeling, the bathroom was dirty and the refrigerator in the room never cooled down. For the amount of money this place is charging it's not worth it. The rooms do not look like how they do in the pictures. Very deceiving me with what they have in their website compared to what it actually looks like. This place charged me $21/day for California fees which weren't stated on their website. I booked this hotel through a third party paid in full. On the day of checkout I got charged $348 and their excuse was the lady in the front who worked the am shift didn't know it was paid in full. Do not book at this place. It doesn't even deserve a 1 star hotel read more

I've stayed at this hotel multiple times. And normally I don't have any issues. Yea- it's not the best feeling hotel as it's kind of dirty looking & needs some upkeep/upgrades. But it's worth it if you're just staying a night or two and will be at universal all day anyway. This past experience was extremely frustrating. My friend and I stayed 5/4-5/5. We booked through Orbitz and specifically reserved a room with two beds. We noticed there was a $90 difference each night, but felt it was worth it to get our own beds. We show up and the clerk sticks us in a room with one bed. When asked about a room with two beds, which we specifically reserved AND paid for.... She said they were out of rooms with two beds. And that the reservation came through as a room with one bed. She said we would have to take it up with the "third party".... Orbitz happily reached out to the property manager for a partial refund (the difference in price) multiple times & never heard back. So here we are, 4 weeks later and no word. Extremely unprofessional... Needless to say, I won't be staying in this grungy hotel anymore and will happily pay for a room at the Hilton or Sheraton, if the BLVD hotel is just going to screw me over in price anyway... Other cons: - shower doesn't drain well, you'll be swimming in your own filth by the time you're finished - outlets don't even work by the nightstands read more

Was looking for a place near universal last minute, this place was convenient in general but wish we knew certain things before checking in. Parking $30 a night. Lights were SUPER DIM could barely see at night. The shower wasn't very clean. In general was a very mediocre spot. Hospitality wasn't that great either. BUT on the plus side, there was a fridge & microwave in the room, the lobby also had snacks and a open bar!

BLVD Hotel & Studios - Indoor pool - Hotels Near Me - Studio City, California

This hotel would be a really cool place to stay if it was properly maintained and cleaned. It reminds me of an old Hollywood hotel. Everything in the reviews is true. I may stay here for just one night but I wouldn't bring my kids back here again. Appears like they tried to do updates with paint and new floors. Our room was okay but the floor and walls were dirty, and the bathroom smelled like sewer, so we had to put towels over the drain to mask the smell. There was an ice bucket in the room but the ice machine didn't work. The mattress had a cover on it, and the bed covering situation was 2 sheets with a light blanket between them. The pillows smelled clean except for one smelled like a person's head. I had done a thorough inspection when we arrived because my kids were with me and based on previous reviews. In a positive note it is close to restaurants and stores but seems like the neighborhood is sketchy at night. There is also a parking garage which you have to pay extra to park in. I really want to like this hotel, but not at this time. read more
