Cleanliness
7.64
Generally described as clean by many reviewers ("super clean", "ottima la pulizia"), but there are several mentions of inconsistent housekeeping and a few reports of not-very-clean rooms and disturbances (false alarm), so cleanliness is slightly below target.
Service
9.11
Multiple strong positive mentions of staff being amazing, very helpful and friendly (shoutout to Jay); overall service cited as a highlight.
Location
9.15
Repeated praise for proximity to Universal Studios, downtown Toluca Lake and generally convenient location; location is a clear strength.
Room Quality
7.6
Rooms often described as spacious and comfortable, but there are consistent complaints about hard mattresses, noisy AC and weak shower pressure, so room quality is mixed.
Amenities
7.13
Free parking and Wi‑Fi are appreciated, and there is a pool, but guests frequently note the pool is not heated or very small and housekeeping of common areas (breakfast room/pool edge) is inconsistent.
Value for Money
8.59
Several reviewers state the hotel suited their budget and met expectations with no surprises; overall perceived as good value for price.
Food and Beverage
7.14
Complimentary breakfast exists and some enjoyed it, but many describe it as 'so-so' or 'not great' and suggest more variety is needed.
Overall Experience
7.61
Most stays described positively (would stay again, comfortable, quiet), though some negatives (false fire alarm, pool issues, inconsistent housekeeping) lower the overall experience to slightly below target.

It's a rooom to sleep in.
Pros:

clean hotel, nice big room and comfy bed. location and parking was good. bathroom is a good size.

Cons:

breakfast could use some vegetables. very basic. unfortunately the coffee was mediocre. just across the street is a good coffee place with a GOOD drip coffee (Last Sip Cafe). The AC unit cannot be properly regulated (strength of air flow) - it's either high or low.

Pros:

It was clean and quiet.

Cons:

The smoke alarm went off at 5am and we all had to evacuate in our pajamas. It was a false alarm. Didn’t sleep after that. Breakfast was so so.

Comfortable Stay Convenient to Studios
Pros:

I have stayed here several times before. It’s a very comfortable stay in a convenient location. Free parking underground, and free. Wi-Fi are much appreciated. There is also free breakfast for those who want scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage, waffles, mini muffins, toast, cereal, yogurt, and fruit. Also coffee and juice. The staff is very nice and helpful. It’s a great place to be if you’re visiting any of the studios, and it’s just a very short short walk to downtown Toluca Lake, which has many fine restaurants and a wonderful coffee place in Priscilla’s
