Stayed here when we came down to take my son to Universal Studios. The hotel is in a really nice area with lots of cute little shops and cafés nearby, which we really enjoyed. It felt like a fun neighborhood to walk around and grab coffee or food. That being said, the hotel itself definitely needs some updates. It felt pretty outdated and the bathrooms especially could use a lot of work. You can tell the property is older and hasn't been renovated in a while. The price we paid was pretty cheap though, especially for being in such a nice area, so we kind of expected that going in. Traffic around the area was pretty heavy, which made getting to some places a little frustrating at times. The best part of the stay was how close it was to Universal Studios. We didn't even have to take the freeway and it was less than a 20-minute drive on the side streets, which made our trip really convenient. Overall it was a decent stay for the price, but because the hotel is so outdated, I probably wouldn't choose to stay here again. read more

I didn't really like my stay, the workers here are great! But the building rattles for anything, the key cards are weak , and they charged for parking... I won't be returning, but again, the people that work here are cool. read more

The rooms at this hotel are old and in desperately need of repairs and upgrading. The decor is outdated. A large family of 10 people were staying in room on the same floor, that is called a family room. The front desk attendant did not have the patience to listen and understand my concerns. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. read more

During our stay in room 228, we encountered hazardous and unsanitary conditions. Specifically sharp, broken bathroom floor tiles (a clear risk of injury to my family's feet) AND the presence of black mold throughout the bathroom, compromising our health. These serious issues not only rendered the room unsafe it should have also been considered uninhabitable. Under applicable health and safety regulations, hotels have a duty of care for their guests to provide safe, sanitary, and habitable accommodations. The unsafe condition of the bathroom represents a clear breach of this duty. I documented these hazardous conditions and provided them to the hotel management. Furthermore, on the first day of our stay, I requested a floor covering to safeguard our feet from the hazardous broken bathroom tile. Despite this request, nothing was provided and we ended up using the bath towels. When I ask about my request, the front desk informed me that there was no response from the manager. This lack of action confirmed the hotel was not concerned about guest safety. Given the severity of these issues, I do NOT recommend staying at this hotel. read more

NASTY. OUT DATED. FILTHY. yes, cheap. this is not a Hilton nor any courtyard hotel I have ever stayed at!!!!! thin walls and cheap ceilings: can hear everything! the one night I stayed, 'tony' was called 3 times to take care of the noises above me. I couldn't sleep. big foot was there. door slamming. Tony said he 'couldn't point a finger' at any room!! what the hell!?!?! he could have gone to the room next to me and certainly the one above me!!!?!?!? 'we could move you' he curtly said. HOW ABOUT MOVING THEM?? what a huge mistake I made. should have paid better attention to the reviews.... if I could- I would give negative stars... I should have just stayed at a best western.... I would LOVE to get a refund!! hmmmm. I may bark about that in a minute. bathroom was disgusting: mold coming from sink fixture; bathtub fixtures all broken- had to wash with faucet NOT THE SHOWER HEAD CUZ IT WAS BROKEN. GGGGRRRRR. .BOOOOOO. read more

This is a DUMP. The images of their bathrooms online absolutely do not reflect the bathroom I have. Dirty/stained towels, broken tile from at least 50 years ago, leaky faucets, wonky showers, cigarette burns and holes throughout, stained light switches with caked on dirt, broken windows, bacteria everywhere (affecting my allergies), and to top it off, the toilet paper roll is behind and pretty far from the toilet and UNDER THE SINK, meaning you'll need to balance while reaching blindly, rooting around for where the toilet paper should be. The "bath products" are so ridiculously awful and offensive (it's like generic "gel" with different food colors to distinguish them from each other), my kid insisted we go buy travel size shampoo and conditioner because the hotel's smelled bad. Never insisted on that during any of our dozens of previous hotel stays. The door doesn't align with the wall so sunlight steams in thru the crack. Walls are thin so we hear the babies next door very clearly. No hot water tonight. The pillows are super clumpy and awful. This place scares me. I highly recommend you not stay here unless you like dirty, broken, grungy, dark, scary, old, uncomfortable motel rooms. It's by far the worst hotel experience I've ever had. Not worth a penny. I'm contacting the BBB. read more

You get what you pay for. It was clean. Dated but clean. Cheap furniture but clean. If you just need a place to sleep I say go for it!

Knowing this place was going to be at a good cheap price I wasn't expecting too much, when arriving the lady in the front desk during noon-5pm was very rude, she had an attitude when entering the office area. In other words BEWARE of the FAT LADY in front desk, with the horrible bun and dried out tattoo. When arriving to room it was very hot, the towels had a weird smell, there was also blood on the curtains on the room i was in. That lady needs to learn not to have an attitude when one is being nice towards them or making us wait to check in. But if ur willing to deal with some attitude and maybe some sketchy stuff in the parking lot, its not bad for the price :D read more

My wife and I have stayed at this motel several times now when visiting LA for a couple days. Reasonable price. The rooms (and grounds) are clean, and adequate for a brief stay. Frige and microwave. Staff is helpful. Morning coffee and continental breakfast. The courtyard area with pool is a nice place to hang out. We like the Ventura Blvd location in Studio City where there's lots to do, no shortage of restaurants. I notice a lot of foreign tourists who stay here for its proximity to Universal Studios. The Blvd takes you directly to the Holywood Bowl and Hollywood Blvd in a short time. We'll be back. read more

This was a last minute booking in LA. We needed a place to stay on a Friday night and it was about 8pm that night. Most places we called were no vacancy. This place had a room, and for cheap, which was what we were looking for! The front desk guy was very friendly and quick. We got a discount for having a AAA membership. They had a parking lot and a heated swimming pool. The room was spacious with hard wood floors. The bed was huge and very comfy. Plug-ins were limited by the bedside so you couldn't really charge your phone at the bedside table. There are lamps on side tables on each side of the bed. There was a tv with plenty of channels and a nice picture. The bathroom was yellow in tile color, but actually pretty nice. The whole room was nice without any gross spots or stains. The location was also great for the price and next to most things in La. read more

My experience is as follows: Staff was friendly and professional to me during all interactions. The room I was in was 2nd floor 225, stated it was a remodeled, and indeed it appeared that way, new modern style shower, sink and toilet with new flooring throughout. Furniture was not of new condition, but that was not a factor, this was first time so I have nothing to compare it to. The only negative was some hater guests, which will always be typical. read more

Used to be my go to hotel in the area because it was adequate for the price, clean but worn and not too seedy. Until I made a booking through a third party site and thought I had not completed the transaction because I stopped the process because their site was slow and I couldn't get the dates correct and never received a booking confirmation email. I then went directly to the Studio City Courtyards website and booked a room. Had my stay no problem and went on my way. About 2 months later on my CC statement I noticed another charge from Studio City Courtyard for more than the charge I had paid them for my stay and the date was not even close to my stay date. Apparently the first booking with the third party booking site did go through. I called the hotel and spoke with the manager, and he was not very sympathetic to my predicament even after explaining that I had never received an email confirmation and assumed the booking didn't complete. He said he would look into if any confirmation email had been sent by the hotel. Long story short no email was provided as proof and he refused to refund the charge, I said I would let my credit card company handle it. He then told me that if I were to prevail in getting the charge removed that I would be blacklisted from the hotel. Is that legal? It certainly isn't good for business. Anyway I prevailed, the charge was removed and I wouldn't there stay again even for free! read more

Disgusting!! They have bedbugs. We realized at midnight when we saw one crawling on the wall. I decided to look throughout the room. sure enough! I found one on a pillow and found blood spots everywhere. I let the front desk know and showed pictures. I also asked for a full refund then and there so we can find another place to stay. They said no. I will have to wait 5-7 business days and there was nothing they can do for me. Not considering because of THEIR filth, i had to not only pack my family up at midnight, i had to come up with another amount of $ for another room plus deposit! NEVER AGAIN WITH THEM!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILTHY! read more

Smart tv with YouTube, Netflix etc. They charge a $100 room deposit and swiftly refund it soon as you check out. read more

You get what you pay for. This hotel is one of the cheapest options in the area and it's clear why. The staff was very rude, I tried checking in about an hour early and they said no room was available and I understood but they were still aggressive for no reason. They charge $13 per night for parking and that was also not disclosed when booking. Apart from that the restroom was dirty and appears to have black mold on the ceiling and parts of the shower. Beware, very outdated with paper thin walls. read more

I booked this property on Priceline based on price... lol Before we went to the motel (hotel is an inaccurate description) I saw the reviews here on Yelp and Google etc. and I was a bit nervous. Our room was clean and nothing scary to report on that end. I did notice some of the other reviews complaints about water stains etc. saw one small spot where the ceiling and wall met. ‍ and in the reviews about messy beds, we checked everything completely before we decided to keep the room. It was quiet for the most part. The people above us got up around 4 am and you can hear footsteps. Wasn't load just noticed like you would at an older property. For the $100 paid, it was good value. If we're in the area again, we'll stay there. I didn't give it 5 stars because just like the other reviews they didn't disclose the $250 deposit or parking fee. The parking fee was waved and deposit was reduced. Check out was simple and we got confirmation about our deposit getting returned. And the other reason for not a perfect review... There was only decaf coffee available in our room. It's a small mom and pop shop so I didn't want to ring the front desk at 4 am asking for coffee. That and the lack of transparency about the deposit are the reasons their rating is lower than it would be Plenty of food and drink options close. read more

Property is definetly low quality but relatively value for the area. Parking is definetly an issue if you have a nice vehicle. The spaces are tight and there is a really tough turn to get out of gate on far side. Suggest parking down to left if available. Would recommend for quick overnight stays if looking for cheap but relatively clean. I have stayed here 5 times for work over course of 2022. If staying with anyone else wouldn't recommend. read more

Family needed a place to stay due to an emergency where they were living. I looked at many hotels in the area and stopped in a saw a room. They were really nice, and management was cool(not that usual in the hotel business). After talking to Thomas, the manager about what my family was through, he gave my family an amazing room for a fantastic price. And on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City right across from bank and a large market a block away. Nice clean, and you can walk the street at night without worry. It modern and super comfortable. You'd easily pay twice this price anywhere else. And Thomas made it even more a "deal" When you got there, tell Thomas, Perry sent you. read more

I guess you never expect too much from these places but I don't understand why they can't be better than they are. E.g the bathroom was a real mess. It wasn't very clean and all the wall filler repairs look like it was done by a 5 year old. Nothing is thought through in terms of experience. All this tells me is no one really cares. Bedroom was ok. Poor acoustics not helped by rowdy neighbours, but can't blame the hotel for that. Great location read more

Formerly a Day's Inn, the Court Yard is a tired motel (not hotel) that could use some sprucing up (my bathroom needed a paint job badly and the electrical is sketchy) but it's clean and cheap and the location is awesome, with tons of restaurants and shops nearby. Their heated outdoor pool was in use regularly, but it wasn't my thing. All in all, if you can get a room here for under $100, it's worth it. But don't expect anything more than a 2 star experience. Book direct thru the motel's website to get free parking. read more

This hotel was amazing. At first I was wondering how it was going to be then I got into the room and it was great. The staff in front, Thomas was sooooo accommodating and was the best person ever. I totally recommend this place. read more

This hotel is right in the center of Ventura blvd, close and walking distance to many shops and food places. Very convenient. We stayed here for our trip to Universal Studios, which is only 5-10 min away. This hotel is by no means a luxury hotel. If you want a cheap place to stay with amenities, then you got it. Price was not bad for being in LA. We got 2 king beds, hardwood floor, a tv that worked, a fridge and bathroom. Place was pretty clean for being old and outdated, but you really can not complain if you're paying a cheap price. My family and I had a great stay. I'm only giving this place a 3/5 because like I said- it's not a luxury hotel and the last night we were here our cards ended up not working so my husband had to run downstairs to the front office to get a new one. Man at front desk was very understanding and didn't give us a hard time, I was just surprised our key stopped working. We also had to ask for towels, there were none provided, but they gave some to us with no problems. This place is fine if you need a simple place to stay. I have small children and we did fine. read more

I didn't (gasp) check Yelp before booking this hotel for our 4 night SoCal vacation. Here are the basics of why I'm giving my first 1 star review (out of 255.) I'd give it 1.5 if that was an option but only because of the location. 1. Cockroaches - each night, they came out into the courtyard, perhaps because of the humidity and tropical weather. First night there were several, second night a few, third night a couple, fourth night I didn't see any. To me, it was disgusting, but we weren't hanging out in the courtyard after the first night. 2. We were overcharged. It got rectified, but it wasn't easy. We had to search through old texts between the people in our group to "prove" our rate..... frustrating....but like I said, it got fixed. 3. Wi-Fi wasn't readily available because it's dependent on # of users. Crazy. Other things that didn't help the rating: - Great place for smokers but for those of us who don't like the smell, was a bummer to have smoking allowed anywhere in the courtyard. Especiallyl since our room was right there. - Free breakfast is nice but it wasn't good so we ate out the other mornings. (Great bagel shop across the street.) Best things I can say: - Beds were comfortable. - Ice machine produced the best crunching ice ever. - Location was *ideal* for our trips back and forth to Universal Studios, Hollywood and Santa Monica. Ok. I'm done. :) read more

Hmm...I didn't have nearly as bad of an experience as some of the reviews I'm seeing here. Mind you it wasn't the best, but I've stayed in worse hotels than this one. I liked the location of this hotel in terms of restaurants that are nearby and overall access to places like Beverly Hills and Mulholland Drive. This hotel also offers free parking, so we were able to rent a car from Avis a few blocks down and drive it here without paying valet. Also, the rooms were relatively decent, as long as they are clean, with A/C and beds are comfy to a reasonable degree I'm fine with it. I can't comment on the business center or the gym as I don't use the services. A few things that did drive me up the wall are the wifi and the parking layout. The wifi is a "first come first serve" basis, and quite frankly it was frequently overloaded at night so you couldn't access the wifi until after midnight. We actually had to leave our computers on just so the wifi connection stays put. As for the parking layout, there is only one entrance/exit, yet the slanted parking is slanted away from the exit. The roadway itself is too narrow in the first place so straight parking lines aren't possible, but surely there can be another exit? As the other side was fenced off. Since LA is so big I definitely can't guarantee staying in Studio City itself next time, but I wouldn't go as far as saying I will never recommend this hotel to others. read more

We searched safe locations for our Universal Trip. Booked the family suite at this hotel. Positive: comfy beds, big room, new floors. Negative: Room has random furniture, leftover food in the fridge, garbage cans outside have tiny holes so couldn't put any food container items in them (pizza box, etc), no dressers to put clothes, smelled like paint, 2 chairs with our small table (room sleeps 6), bath faucet ran all night, kept getting stuck in the bathroom because it's literally just painted over so many times, we were told this is the only suite and it's on the bottom floor, above us every morning starting at 5:30am kids were running back and forth for hours keeping us up, notified front desk but they did nothing, bathroom is ridiculously outdated, parking is not for large vehicles, definitely NOT worth the price. Charging $10 a night for parking in that parking lot that is not for large vehicles. When we pay for a place to sleep and then can't sleep that's a problem. read more

The worst hotel I've ever stayed in, hands down! I wish there was a zero star rating option. First of all, we were told there was no smoking in the rooms, and when we entered ours, it smelt like someone had been smoking cigarettes. We requested a different room, and although they obliged, it was even worse than the first. Advertising beautiful pictures but having your room look nothing like the pictures should be prohibited! Second, the space itself was incredibly antiquated. Third, there was no hot water!!! AVOID BOOKING THIS HOTEL! read more

This place is a nightmare. I booked for 10 nights while my housemate was quarantined for Covid. $1800 booking. The internet is awful and I couldn't get any of my work done because it kept cutting out. The television had a perma-blue tint to it which could not be corrected through the settings menu. Woke up after the first night with pink eye because of the pillowcases. Went and bought myself new cases, pillows, and blanket. Asked the front desk for a clean bedsheet. They bring me one that's covered in cigarette holes and blood stains. I go to shower and the water comes out sludgy and brown. When I complained, they decided to charge me the full amount for the room (usually done at checkout but they did it on day 2) so they I couldn't get a refund. Basically trapped here the full 10 days now. This place is an absolute nightmare. 0/10 would be generous read more

For starters, they put a hold on your credit card for $100, but they don't give you a receipt for that or mention it anywhere in their paperwork. When I got to my room, there were no bath towels, and when I went to ask the housekeeper for some, she wrote my room number down, and I was afraid I would get charged for them, even though I started with zero towels and now had two. The room is very old two layers of curtains had burn holes in them. Again I was warned not to smoke in my room and I'm not a smoker so the fact that the curtains were already damaged worried me about the hold they were keeping on my credit card. All the nooks and crannies in this room were dirty and layered with dIrt. The linens was super cheap and the blank it was paperthin. Even though I asked for an upstairs room back in October when I booked and it's now February, I was told there weren't any. So it turns out my room was beneath someone who walked back-and-forth Abnormally for ***hours and hours and was dragging furniture around above my head. It sounded like more than one person so I went out to look and I saw a girl leaving the room laughing she was carrying a laundry basket. I asked if I could switch my room I asked if they could talk to him everyone just tried to pacify me and did nothing. The people at the front desk insisted it was a man and just a single person in there but I knew that wasn't true. All night long I heard a lot of foot traffic more than one person can make above my head. Whoever was up there only must've slept around three hours because that's the amount of time when there was no pacing back-and-forth opening and shutting off the door, Dragging a furniture, etc... Today I spoke to the general manager who was very aggressive with me and I saw her greet the person above me as a regular customer she was very friendly with him and I'm not sure what she said but I told her I would be suing if it happened again tonight that I had nowhere else to go and two more nights to sleep here. Since she approached me when I was eating my lunch out on the patio I recorded our conversation when she told me I couldn't record her I told her that she shouldn't be speaking to me. She wasn't helping me she was trying to convince me to leave instead of dealing with whatever that guy was doing upstairs. I have her name and I'm keeping it in case I need to file a suit to get my money back. It sounded like whoever it was had people coming in and out all night. I hope it was a prostitution or drugs. Being a long time resident of LA I knew the LA PD would not care and probably wouldn't come for hours if I called them, So I didn't. If it happens again tonight I'm just going to deal with it even though I really need to sleep for stuff I came to town to take care of, But then I'm actually going to sue and get my money back because they were also drilling and doing construction all day long all of the days I've been here. They didn't give me an upstairs room even though I made this reservation months and months ago last year. read more
