I spent the weekend at universal city for my son's birthday! I got a suite. Pros: a few minutes from the park. You can also walk but you need to make a left at the light and go up the hill and a shuttle can pick you up from there. Hotel room is spacious. Had the amenities such as 2 TVs, fridge, microwave and a love seat. They have a bar and cafe. Cons: The parking situation is a little different. You have to back in against the wall if there is a space available. Someone can potentially block you. If you're the person parking in front of another car then you have to leave your car keys at the front desk so they can move your car for you, in the event that someone needs to move their car. If they can't reach you or you didn't leave your keys then they will tow your car. They're pretty clear about that at check in and they have signs stating this. Thankfully, no one parked in front of us the whole weekend. Also, it's $25 extra a day for parking and you can only park one car. After the first night I started to notice all the wear and tear in the hotel. The shower floor is cracking. The shower drain cover kept coming off. Some of the wall paint was chipping and the sofa needed some cleaning. Sadly, there is also a homeless camp as your view. It is a sad reality. I hope they're being helped out. Overall, I like the location because it's super close to the park. read more

Wow, I stayed here just this past weekend and will never be staying here again. I recommend you find somewhere else as well. Parking at the hotel is $30 per car, per day. The parking lot is set up so you have no choice but to double park. This means you have to give your car key to the front desk or else you may get charged double for parking. This is their policy. Insane. They want you to give your car key to the front desk employee, not even a professional valet service or anything like that. Add to that they charge $18 per day as a service fee. Fine, whatever, but I didn't know that until I was already at the front desk checking in. The thing is, the rooms are not that nice. Our room had a plastic bag over the smoke detector, water damage in a corner of the ceiling, the dresser was falling apart, and the entire room smelt heavily of bleach the entire stay. The bleach was a stark contrast to the heavy weed smell in the hallway. The shower looked like it was going to be great with a rain shower head. But that rain was more like a jet stream, I thought my ear was going to be cut off if I stood directly under the shower head. Had to switch it to the removable shower head. I will say I am thankful that my car has valet features because I was able to set notifications if my car went over 3 mph, or was moved more than 1 mile. I didn't get any notifications, so there's that. But still, made me feel very uncomfortable having to give my car key to a front desk employee. Overall, the hotel just gave me weird vibes. It felt very sketchy and so I cannot and will not recommend this hotel to anyone. read more

Today is October 20, 2022 I stayed at this hotel October 17 through October 19, 2022. We were celebrating my 10-year-old birthday at Universal Studios unfortunately she got bit by bedbugs. I did notice the mattresses outside the balcony but the room looks clean so I didn't inquire about why there were additional mattresses outside. Well I should have! I called back to speak to the manager and they said there was not one on staff. The girl at front desk was extremely rude and when our toilet stopped up they made we come down to lobby for a plunger. And on top of all that Bed Bugs!! I emailed info@BlvdHotelStudioCity.com and no one got back to me. This is UNACCEPTABLE! read more

The location is good and the staff is EXCELLENT! Nancy is the kindest lady and will make sure you are taken care of! This is a great price point and location! It's a three minute drive to Universal Parking Structure and a 5 minute walk to the Universal tram! Great rooms, ours has a little balcony. Bathroom has amenities like shower cap, vanity kit, feminine products, and anything else you might need. Great wine fridge in the room and plenty of space. If you opt for the bigger room, they have a balcony and you can see universal. read more

My electricity went out, so I needed somewhere to stay. I booked this on Booking.com. I had clients stay at this hotel in the past and it was a cute little boutique hotel. I arrived at the front desk only to be told that it be $34 to park which I thought was ridiculous. Then they gave me grief about my service dog. When I went up to the actual room, it looked nothing like it had before, nor the pictures on booking.com. I felt completely bamboozled. Then there was a $21 charge to pay their staff adequately which I found outrageous. I wrote them a letter and the only thing they refunded me was the $21. And they really didn't apologize about give me grief about my service dog or the fact that the room online looked nothing like the room in real life that they're supposedly remodeling. I do not suggest staying at this hotel. You will be disappointed too read more

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

First the good..The bed was really comfortable. And that was sadly all we found to be nice about this place. I booked through a third party and paid for a suite with a seating area. We got a bed one nightstand a desk and chair and done...oh wait !and this big empty area with just a lone random lamp we never touched except to light up the corner for a picture... and to top it off..there's two shower heads and one drips , yes drips, cold water down your back while the hand held attachment on the wall pretty much trickles scalding hot water at your front...they posted a reasonable price then tacked on this fee and that fee and a convenient fee and a parking fee so the total that I spent I should have just stayed at the H across the way because it was the same cost...we won't be back...in fact, I've contacted my booking company and asked for my money back..I'm sad this was such a bad review as I'm not a person that does this but I need to be honest and this is as honest as it gets...save your time effort and money..go elsewhere read more

Booked this hotel from Expedia because it was advertised to be walking distance from Universal and the pictures looked nice. We arrived early and the lovely woman at the front desk allowed us to check in before our scheduled arrival time. Check in process was quick and we went upstairs to our rooms. The room looked like a shotty DIY project. There were holes in the walls, everything was dirty and there was an unknown substance splattered on the ceiling. The blinds were broken and light bulbs burn out. The walls all had a dripping substance coming down them from the ceiling. We ended up checking out immediately and finding a different hotel to stay at. read more

This place was uncomfortable. The set up inside the room felt weird. The orange doors made the room dark and creepy. Some of the furniture was outdated and wore out. I didn't get any sleep staying here. The bathroom had a smell to it. The shower wasn't draining properly and the water leverage to turn on the shower was inconvenient. read more

Nice hotel; awesome decor! Room was super clean and the front desk lady was a sweetheart. Only con: parking, if you don't get back to your room early, you miss out on parking. Their garage is small for the hotel and rooms. If you can't get a spot in there, you'll have to drive out and park by the meter. read more

Booked this hotel for our trip to Universal Horror Nights. Fri Oct 7th Unlike many reviews say 1. There isn't a homeless encampment across the street. They got rid of it. 2. The parking lot isn't really that bad. 3. The walk to the shuttle isn't that bad either. 10 mins, maybe 15. Easy walk. 4. Hotel & parking fees are normal & reasonable here. Not sure why everyone is so pressed about that. Most, if not all hotels have that these days. Now that I've stated that, I gotta say... I feel like people are too nit picky on this app. Like a paint chip, or scuff isn't enough to give a horrible review. Little dramatic. This hotel was fantastic! Everyone was so nice and polite. Great food and beverage area that's open 24/7. So many selections. The bar was so awesome, and the bartender... Brian I believe (I was tipsy) was so down to earth and fun! We hung out here to pregame for Universal. We had a room on the top floor. It was so nice! Terrible back view but we didn't care, we weren't gonna be in it much. The bathroom was clean and a good size. Cool rain shower idea, kinda fails because the shower head was small and didn't have a lot of pressure. My husband found the shower a little tricky but we got it. One thing that wasn't all that great, is all the lights in the room are pretty dim. Especially in the bathroom. So getting ready or doing work may be difficult if that's what you're using it for. There was a nice desk area, a big fridge, coffee maker and a microwave! Those are hard to find these days. The bed was comfortable. No bed bugs. Decent tv channels. Good amount of storage. And it also had a good size closet. The parking lot was a decent size for the hotel. There is a double parking issue, yes. But we got there at around 4-4:30pm on Friday and it was pretty empty. We parked against the wall so we didn't need to leave our keys. And we knew there was a possibility of having to wait for them to move a car for us in the morning, but it wasn't an issue. The parking lot still had lots of open wall spots when we checked out. I mean overall I think this place is fantastic! We took an Uber to universal, that was about $8 ride. And we walked back... at almost 2am lol. It's not a long walk, but can get sketchy as you get closer to the hotel. Wouldn't recommend doing that at night. We would absolutely stay here again, we actually think this will be our go to every year for universal. We also got our deposit back quickly after checkout. If you aren't a nit picky person, definitely give it a go! read more

Check in was at 3pm. Our room wasn't ready yet. We arrived at the hotel at 4:17pm. Terrible service from this hotel so far. Won't recommend

Still wondering why there is not a zero star option Yelp? This place deserves not one not zero but -5, negative 5. I feel dirty nearly 300 miles from this place just thinking of it. People if u have kids, pets, traveling alone do not waste your time money and good health here. Its proximity to universal is a stretch of the imagination. After a block up the street across a very busy 6 lane intersection and under a bridge used for housing, into an elevator and over a bridge down a huge flight of stairs you'll find a shuttle to universal NOT UNIVersal studios entrance. Its name hotel and spa is a lie prices fees are outrageous for what it offers. Found this place thru booking.com and will never use that site again! A couch with cigarette burn holes, 2 tvs one that didn't work, a toilet that didn't flush, bad lighting, hair on bed, and dead bugs in the corners. The rooms were humid musty. For the love of all people seeking a nice restful clean place to stay, this is not It! I cannot believe there are people on here giving good reviews. If u don't believe visit the place before you book see for yourself it's so nasty and I've stayed abroad I know not all hotels are what they say but this was horrific. I could not let my family stay here and we did not check in after all. Thankfully the Marriott with free shuttle to universal and free shuttle to the airport had rooms available for nearly the same rate slightly higher but definitely worth every single penny. This place Blvd is not a place for families especially those with small children god forbid babies. Also if you are human and in good health I wouldn't even think about staying here in my opinion there are motel 6 nicer than this. I'm wondering why some Yelp elite have given such high praise? It's misleading I was offered a cleaner room still the appliances furniture and beds were deplorable ripped edges, broken corners, low light, tvs that won't turn on! Dingy shower curtain we were able to get our money back after some diligence but damn this hotel should be condemned. Is there a health official that grades hotels like they do restaurants? read more

Stay- Friday, September 11,2020: We felt itchy the moment we sat down, but didn't see anything. We tried to find another hotel but nothing was available. Do NOT stay here!!!! This should be a serious health issue with the city. My biggest fear is bed bugs, but some look like bed bugs and a couple look like tick bites. I had to go to urgent care to check for infection. My friend & I paid $25.38/each for tandem parking. Aside from the bed bugs....the room had a fair share of ants. We were unable to use the A/C because it was so dirty. The toilet in the room or shower beside us was leaking through our restroom wall. Restroom: Dirty!! The calcium and dirt was so filthy on the showerhead. At first, I didn't understand why my eyes were burning so much after washing my face. When I looked up, it explained everything. Preventative measures: I immediately went to a laundromat and washed anything that was able to be be in hot water/dryer. I also purchased Crossfire bed bug treatment sprayed my vehicle and left the remaining of my stuff inside in hopes that I won't bring any of these bed bugs home. I washed all of my linens, and made sure to use white sheets to keep an eye out for any new bites. It baffles my mind that I haven't been contacted by a manager to address this issue, shows how serious they take this issue. Probably not their first rodeo!! Or, the last!!! This motivated me to go back and review any hotel stays that I could remember. read more

Rooms are big for families. You can walk to universal Studios... I felt safe having my kids with me without my husband.. only issue is I wish they offered fresh coffee in the morning... Maybe muffins. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. I highly recommended.. Parking was 30.00 a day. They also have a bar. Pool wasn't anything great. Definitely paid for location. We walked to and from theme park. read more

Terrible terrible terrible We checked in and settled down in a room that wasn't even properly cleaned yet. Stains were everywhere in the bathroom and the bed looked like it had someone on it before we came in. My girlfriend was getting ready so I went downstairs to get a drink, the owners of the hotel were DRINKING at the bar while it was closed because they didn't have a bartender and they were really drunk. I sat down not knowing that and they were being extremely rude to me asking me how I don't know what I want to drink already when I go to a bar like??? I just sat down relax. One of them started yelling for no reason. They looked like sad old drunk men and it was the saddest thing ever. Definitely not a good place to stay at! read more

BLVD Hotel & Studios - The hotel that's under a parking garage - Hotels Near Me - Studio City, California

Was sketch from the get go. Would give zero stars if able. Staff was not friendly at check in. Toilet flooded room at 0200 the night of check in. Had only peed in toilet as we got in late and were blamed by the night staff for clogging toilet. Housekeeper refused to wade through black water to unclog toilet so I waded through it with plunger and unclogged it myself. Front desk clerk Anthony was less than friendly in rectifying issues. Wound up getting transferred to the "Presidential Suite" after the 0200 chaos. The "Suite" was disgusting and I wouldn't be surprised if someone contracts hepatitis from this room or this hotel in the future. Save your money and book elsewhere read more

worst experience ever!! way too expensive. made us pay for parking and the pool and the gym that we weren't going to use. didn't provide us with shampoo or shower gel. i was in the middle of a shower when the water stopped working on the first night. they don't even provide breakfast and they charge you over 300 a night. not worth it. should've just stayed at a cheap motel. will say though that the hotel rooms have a kitchen but even then it's not necessary at all. read more

AVOID AVOID AVOIC If I could give no stars I would. Dirty and nasty. The blankets and pillows are stained. The windows are broken. The bathroom door doesn't lock and the sink was dirty. The toilet said sanitized but I doubt that considering the condition of the rest of the room. The air unit is dusty and dirty. We came in and the room was already occupied by a couple spiders. The second night we drove in and there's a man in the parking lot (which is additional pay btw) defecting in a trash can then plops down and lights something up. There's no type of security here. There's a $12 a day service charge but for what? We were told since we're staying two nights they don't come in and turn down the beds or anything. I'm not surprised but to charge additionally? The parking lot is a tiny mess and they double park and expect you to leave your car keys with them at the front. Get real.. Their cancellation policy is basically you cancel? No matter the terms we keep your money! Awesome so we're stuck. The pictures on other sites are complete lies. I'm always up for giving places a chance but goodness this is awful. The paint on the walls is coming up. 95% of the plugs don't work and are some kind of larger outlet that phone charges don't fit and fall out. I've never seen that before. Avoid avoid avoid specially if you have kids. Once we get the final charge im sure we're paying as much as if we were staying at the Hilton WHICH WE SHOULD HAVE read more

Hotel staff was friendly, but unfortunately drove 8 hours to find out that since I am an adult but not over 21 they would not let me check in (this is not a required law by any means we payed a lot of money for this room). After having to get my dad to check in we walked into the room that had such a bad chorine smell we had to open the windows for over an hour to get the room normal smelling. Fitness center is weak but cool views. Interesting layout read more

Stayed one night as it's so close to Universal Studios and it looked nice from the pictures but upon arrival it's motel with a high end wanna-be feel. You'd think that parking is included but it's an additional cost for all the fees and amount paid -shower faucets don't work -terrible water quality -Too close to highway/noisy -can't control AC read more

This place is outright disgusting. I would recommend no one EVER frequent this hotel - strike that - motel. A motel for a listed price of $185.00 per night? You have got to be kidding. If you are traveling, keep on driving. I almost would have preferred sleeping in my car for the $25.00 they charge for parking than actually stay in this room. I am writing this review from the desk in the room barely able to breathe because of the awful stench of the filthy mop water they obviously used to clean the hard floors in the room. The hard floors that I had to sleep on because I purchased a room for three persons - and they gave me a bed for two. I gave my son and wife the bed and slept on a blanket on the floor. Candidly, the floor was probably better as the bedsheets are stained and dirty. And I still can't get over this awful stench. I had hoped that by the morning it would be gone - or I would be used to it, but I now have a pounding headache and feel like I'm going to vomit. My wife feel the same way - headache and sick to her stomach. I cannot reiterate how unbelievably unclean this room is. What else, the shower drain is busted and the caulking is molding (see photos), the in-room refrigerator stinks as it is also seems to be broken and I looked to plug it in, but would be afraid of the electrical shock from the busted outlet behind the unit (see photo). In fact, this room is technically challenged in the first place. The A/C Unit rattled all night and, upon check in, the smoke alarm beeped - every two minutes. Beep. Beep. At least they fixed that when I called the desk. Despite claiming that it is a modern facility, there are no USB outlets in the room and very few of the accessible electrical outlet (located mostly in lamp fixtures) actually work. When I tell you do not waste your money - I cannot be more serious. read more

COCKROACHES!!! My girlfriend and I booked a one night stay here for the night of Thursday, May 5th as we were in LA for the night going to a comedy show for my birthday. We were willing to look past the odd parking situation where you park yourself but are forced to double park and leave your key at the front desk so it can be moved if someone has to get out of their spot, all while being charged a pricey overnight parking fee. We were also willing to overlook the parking lot being open all night and not in the safest of areas with a lot of transient people in the area late at night that can come in right off the street 10-feet away. We were also willing to look past certain things in the room itself not being in the best shape, like the shower not working properly, or the thermostat on the wall missing all its toggles/buttons and not working. We were not, however, willing to look past the fact that there was a COCKROACH in our bed! I wouldn't suggest staying here unless you don't mind having little unexpected guests sleeping with you. It was the end of the night and my girlfriend was already asleep in the bed. After getting ready for bed myself, I walked over to my side and as I was about to lay my head down on my pillow, a baby cockroach crawled out from underneath my pillow onto the top right where I was about to put my head! (see attached photos) I immediately called the front desk and explained the situation and he told me we could either move rooms or they would give us a full refund if we wanted to leave. We chose the latter. We didn't feel comfortable just moving rooms because as we all know if there are cockroaches in one room there are most likely more in other rooms as well, there's an infestation. Especially if you see a baby cockroach, the mom roach just recently reproduced, multiplying the amount of cockroaches in the area. He said that was fine that we wanted to leave, so we went down to the front desk to check out. Upon checking out, I confirmed with Abraham at the front desk that they would be issuing a full refund and he said yes. He said that it couldn't be put into motion until morning so he would email the morning crew explaining everything and have them process the refund. We left the hotel around 12:30-1:00am. We called the next morning to make sure the refund was being processed and Nancy told us it had to be done by upper management and they weren't in at the time so she sent them an email and would get back to us later that day. That never happened. So we called again the next day (Saturday) and spoke to Nancy again and she told us something completely different. She said upper management never issues a refund if a guest stays more than an hour or two, so she didn't expect us to get one, but that she was still waiting on a response from Management and they are sometimes hard to get a hold of on weekends so it might be best to follow up on Monday. So that is what we did. Called Monday and got the run around again. We called about 3 more times throughout the week and kept getting the same non-committal answers and no word from Management. Each time the front desk clerk would take our information (name, number, email) and say they were going to send another email to Management and they would be getting back to us directly, but that never happened. Management in this place clearly just avoids and ignores any customer with an issue and hopes the customer will just get tired of trying to get it resolved. Finally, I called one more time and spoke to a different person again, a lady named Lou. Got the same response about management not being in and that an email would be sent and both my girlfriend and I would be contacted by email from Management. I told her they have 3 days to get back to us or it would have to be escalated to the next level as we had given the plenty of time and opportunities to make this right. It's been 4 days now and still no word from anybody. And still no refund from the hotel. So if some of the amenities you look for in a hotel include unsafe/inconvenient/expensive parking, faulty equipment in room, terrible customer service, oh and COCKROACHES, then BLVD hotel in Studio City is the place for you. read more

We have been to 3 hotels on this trip and all were clean and comfy. This hotel is dirty dark and not what advertised. I tried speaking to 4 different people at the front desk in addition to 2 emails. None of which addresses any of my concerns. The hotel is in disrepair, stinks of not just musty ness since there is no ventilation but also reeks of weed. We couldn't get the WiFi working and asked 4 different times for them to fix it. They just kept saying they'd do it or blaming us like we are idiots that have never used WiFi. Don't waste your money here and fall for their good marketing and clever picture taking. This is by far one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. read more

Awful hotel! Don't stay here! My room was dirty, and there was no Wi-Fi. Staff was incredibly rude. I checked in and checked out right after. I asked to speak to a manager multiple times and sent them emails regarding my (non) stay to be refunded and not charged for a room I never stayed in with ZERO response after multiple attempts.

While checking in, got surprised with $30 per night parking charge. You have to double park and leave your keys at the front desk. Another surprise was the additional $15 "service" charge. Didn't have enough towels in the room for four people. Had to go to the front desk to pick up additional towels, and was told they didn't have enough..... read more

Do yourself a favor and do not stay here! We have had one problem after another and the staff is completely not at all helpful. There was a horrible smell in our room, the toilet overflowed and the large shampoo bottle was empty. After much effort on our part the hotel finally agreed to change our room but after spending practically the entire day waiting around for the new room to be ready....around 2pm we said we could not wait any longer and would change rooms when we return but when we did return only a few hours later we found that they had gone into our room and PACKED AND MOVED OUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS TO THE NEW ROOM WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION! When we told them that we were upset that they touched and moved out belongings without our permission the lady at the front desk just rudely shrugged her shoulders and wasn't at all apologetic or concerned that they had violated our privacy in this way. read more

BLVD Hotel and Spa is one of the more cost efficient hotels in the Universal Studios area. Their effort in ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay are evident from the moment you step into the hotel. Extremely friendly and courteous service at the front desk, and a clean lobby. The hallways were uniquely decorated, and I appreciated the hand sanitizer dispensers prior to getting on the elevator. The hotel, while aesthetically pleasing elsewhere, could be updated. Our room was extremely dark considering the overhead lights weren't functioning and there were only 2 desk lamps in the room. Bathroom fixtures and appliances could be updated, as well, but everything was in working condition, clean, and they provided basic amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, and a dental kit. One thing I was super puzzled by was the half roll of toilet paper we had in our bathroom with no replacement roll to be found. It wasn't anything we weren't able to request at the front desk, but I figured if they would leave a half roll, then a replacement would be left in the bathroom. Overall, we had a great stay. The grounds were safe, and the staff was terrific. The grab and go store in the lobby was great for getting a drink or snack late in the evening, and there was also a lobby bar open from 4pm-12am. read more

We saw the hotel online and decided to call for accommodations for a huge group of people. Called the hotel; was placed on hold and was hung up on; when we tried calling back they answered on the 4th time and was rudely told that if we were waiting a long time on hold that it will " time out". Are you kidding me? What kind of business does that? And the receptionist who answered was rude about it. No apologies or anything. FYI to the owners...The woman answering the phone shouldn't be working the front desk if she's going to have attitude and isn't helpful at all...so NO THANK YOU I won't be bringing my business or my family members there. No common courtesy at all. And my husband tried emailing them and no response. Whoever is running this place have no clue what customer service is. read more

Stayed here for a couple of nights to visit universal studios and city walk. Initially we walked in and were a little hesitant just with first impressions of the parking situation. Parking is $31 a night! Which we understand at some hotels like the one we stayed at prior to arriving at BLVD, but there it was valet and secured for the price. At BLVD you park your car and then another car parks behind you. That person must leave their car keys at the front desk in case the first car wants to leave. And there isn't a gate to secure the lot. So that's what you get/don't get for $31. When we got to our room it is huge, almost like they used to be apartments? But that is when we started having more questions. The refrigerator was a wine fridge? There was a tv over it but nothing to sit on to watch the tv? There was another one by the bed. We were told to make sure and lock up valuables, but there was no safe? We wanted to lock items up because we didn't feel like the hotel was secure. Also the door didn't shut and latch the way most do, we had to give it a good tug to ensure it closed. Yes it is close to universal and can walk there to a shuttle that will take you up the hill. However you do have to walk up a street and under an overpass to get there. The hotel is conveniently located by the freeway and as others have indicated you hear every bit of car/truck noise. So light sleepers may want to bring ear plugs or find another hotel if they want a good nights sleep. The rooms felt clean and you could smell the cleaning chemicals they used so that wasn't too much of a concern. The staff is the reason this hotel is getting any stars. Each person was extremely friendly and helpful with a smile and warm greeting. If we were to come back I might as well pay a small bit more and stay across from universal at the Hilton or Sheraton. read more

This is a good hotel to spend only one or two nights if you plan on not being in the room the whole time. Our balcony had bugs all around the door frame and all over the balcony. The spa is closed due to COVID 19 -- two years ago. Over all cool concept but the parking lot also had random people parking in it and wasn't secure for just guests. Does have a convenience store on the first floor and bar but it appears as though it's limited on staff. Oh and our king suite's AC was broken so we had a swamp cooler/portable AC cooler connected to the wall read more

****DON'T STAY HERE!!!!!**** URINE STAINS ON BED!!!!! Drove from Arizona and my family stayed here. We ended up going to Universal first before we checked into our hotel, so it was pretty late. Once we checked in and got to our room, the first thing I smelled was bleach. Literally burning my nose. I know hotels use bleach, but they did not use correct ratio. We opened up the window to try and get smell out. Did not help. We started to unpack. I then smelled urine. We went around corner to corner trying to see where the smell of urine was coming from. We noticed a huge splatter of something on our ceiling. GROSS!!!!!!! We finally decided to pull our bed sheets and there it was the smell and stains. Urine stains all over the bed. I contacted front desk, they made us come down to lobby to only go back to the same floor. We had a child and tons of luggage. They could have just told me to swap out room key. We couldn't find another hotel near universal and hotel did not do anything to compensate our horrible experience. I have attempted on numerous occasion to reach out to hotel manager by phone and email with no luck. I have also reached out to BBB and also no luck. read more

The pool is in the parking garage, and there is a dog park right next to the hotel garage. Construction and dogs barking all the time

I've had a great stay, but I will say that the Bartender Bryan took our stay to the next level! Hospitality, Humor, Kindness! He had it all! Definitely made our stay at BLVD special & fun! Did not feel the need to leave the hotel and venture out when we had all we needed in entertainment at the bar with Bryan! Will defiantly be coming back as long as he is here! Thank You! read more

It seems like a decent hotel until you complete your stay. We arrived and then left for the day. We came back to our hotel around 10pm. In the lobby people were talking about how there is going to be a party is room 201. We go up to our room and can hear the party up to the third floor. We get inside our room and can hear the music vibrating in our room. On top of that the shower and sink BOTH don't drain. See photo attached. If you wanna shower you have to stand in water up to your ankles. The second and third day we get woken up at 6:30am by the screaming children next door. I get it people have kids. But these walls are so thin you can literally hear everything they were saying. Shower also didn't look clean. Only thing nice about this hotel is the location being close to universal. However the homeless population do sleep out in tents outside the hotel. read more

The location is good and the staff is EXCELLENT! Nancy is the kindest lady and will make sure you are taken care of! This is a great price point and location! It's a three minute drive to Universal Parking Structure and a 5 minute walk to the Universal tram! Great rooms, ours has a little balcony. Bathroom has amenities like shower cap, vanity kit, feminine products, and anything else you might need. Great wine fridge in the room and plenty of space. If you opt for the bigger room, they have a balcony and you can see universal. read more
