El Royale Hotel Near Universal Studios Hollywood

I was initially a bit concerned about the old roadhouse/motel aspect of the El Royale but this actually turned out to be a highlight of the stay. I really appreciated having my own parking spot (there is very tight garage for each room -I pulled in only 1/2 way to allow doors to open), that the hotel is only a single level (no noise from above) and that since one wall is a gargage there is only potential noise from one shared wall. I heard no noise from other guests during my stay. The room itself was quite good size, and the bed was very comfortable. The only down side to the stay was that there was a lot of light in the room from the front windows through the plantation shades - there were no curtains and a lot of light from the parking area around the slats. Also the breakfast was only really rolls and coffee, but there are good breakfast options in the area within walking distance. Overall a very nice stay.

The staff is very helpful, lot of shops within walking distance. Good room!

Xavier and staff were great. It was a very nice contrast to chain hotels. The room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. You can walk to iconic Valley places like Campo de Cahuenga, Fox and Hounds pub (across the street), Universal Studios and it is near the subway- you don't need to use your car! There is a great Ralphs market in walking distance. Good restaurants also near by- Bollywood, Sushi Dan and coffee near by as well.
