BLVD Hotel and Studios Universal-Hollywood, Ascend Hotel Collection

My family and I stayed over the holiday (12 days) holiday break. We drove from Portland Or. The room was big enough for all of us. The "living room" area was perfect for my boys to watch cartoons and have breakfast, while my daughters did their thing and got ready for the day. We were there for nearly 2 weeks, the staff were friendly and helpful, and had new supplies for us anytime we we asked. The proximity to Universal Studios was also wonderful. A short walk to the shuttle (maybe 10 min at most waiting on walk signs to cross the street) meant we didn't have to move our car if we didn't want to. There's a grocery store less than a 2 min drive from the hotel. You're near several food options, from breakfast to late night. The hotel is on Ventura right next to Highway 101, which made it easy to venture to other parts of the city. Most drives around town only took about 20 min, if there wasn't any heavy traffic. It was a great stay. Things the hotel has that we didn't use: *bar *barber *pool (the kids attempted, but the water was too cold)

Parking spaces were great, inside the premises. It didn't rain but it would have been helpful if it did to have the car there. The rooms are big, the bed was confortable as well as the couch. The bathroom was also big, cool shower with nice products and many towels. Very well equipped with small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, tv, and many desk and standing lamps with plugs.

The property was in an excellent location for what we were staying at this hotel for. The room was nice and I did enjoy the fact that they had garage parking. I’d also like to put a shoutout to Nancy who checked us in and served at the bar. She definitely went above and beyond and is exceptional with making sure her customers are satisfied. Would definitely stay here again.

Good housekeeping on sheets and linen, the staff that we interacted with was very nice. Nice to have a little kitchenette. Open, spacious, modern design with comfy beds & LOTS of fluffy pillows. Location quick 10 minute walk to the shuttle that takes you uphill to the CityWalk which is then another 5-10 minute walk (depending on crowd; we went Thanksgiving weekend so very crowded) to the security.

Perfect location for a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood, just 10mins to the free shuttle (or 20mins to the theme park gates), also very close to the red metro line if you want to explore more of LA itself. Room was spacious and clean, decent coffee maker, microwave and fridge were provided and all worked perfectly. Surprisingly quiet room given how close the hotel is to a busy road, we would happily stay here again when we go back to visit Universal!
