For a 2-star motel in this area I was pleasantly surprised. Overall clean and comfortable. Vinyl wood floors (no carpet thankfully). Good water pressure and no issues with hot water. A/C worked well. Good windows shut out noise. There are complaints about pillows but I found them to be fine. Seems the city is cleaning up homeless encampments - there was only 1 guy camped out on the street. Neighborhood seemed “normal” for an urban area. Parking could be an issue, but wasn’t when I was there.

A few minor issues not worth noting.

The room was very much no thrills, which you should absolutely expect for the price point. The staff was very polite and accommodating. Shower had great pressure. You're right in the heart of the arts district which is a convenient location for tourists. If you just need a place to shower and rest, you can't go wrong with the value this property represents.

The beds and pillows left quite a lot to be desired, even at the price point. The walls were quite thin, to the point that you can hear people walking gently outside your room.

I can honestly say that the entire experience with the property and its staff was amazing! The lady who checked us in was super amazing! She recommended a couple places for us to sight see. The ladies cleaning our room were super nice and helpful! And the man who checked us out was also super nice! It just seems to be the culture and I love it! The location is also great! You got a couple different food options at walking distance! Literally crossing the street! Great experience!!

Everything was good very close to sorts of places to go to even universal studios, museums, stores, restaurants. Great service and staff. I will definitely stay there again!.

The only thing bad about it was parking, there is not enough parking inside, you have to get there before 10pm to secure your spot or else you may have to park outside by the street or by the meeter its free before 8am other then that everything was perfect.

I really enjoyed the jacuzzi bath en suite--it made a real difference in my stay that night.

They were doing some updating and remodeling that could have been noisy or distracting, but the areas were clean, all work resumed at a reasonable hour as to not interfere with guests stay. This place is managed well and staff is respectful and friendly.

We arrived earlier than the check in time and ask if we can have our room and the staff said yes! It was a relief since were so tired after a long drive. The staff was nice and sweet! The room is ordinary but i tell of the things that are in there are functional and just they way it should be! I would like to ask for a microwave though! But overall we had a very good experience

Maybe the community outside, there were tents and stuff but we didnt encounter any uncomfortable circumstances.

I really love that the hotel was in minutes from Universal Studios. Our room was pretty decent. 1st floor. Had a jacuzzi. The room was big and comfortable for a family of 4. Slept really good. We love the taco stands nearby. Just perfect! We spend most of the day outside the room, just used to shower and sleep. It's a good area. At first, it seems scary but is not at all. Friendly staff.

Everything was good! Just what we needed! Recommended!!

During our stay at the Colony Inn, we experienced a break-in of our vehicle. The on -site manager Sam, immediately took control of the situation, providing transportaion and repairs as needed. He turned a very disturbing and costly situation into a minor inconvenience. Thank you Colony Inn and especially Sam for making our Los Angeles vacation a very enjoyable experience.

The room was comfy, and the shower was nice. The lady at the front desk was charming and helpful. There were some good food options near the location. A great place to stay for the value and location!

I did not like the thin blankets as I prefer mine to be a little thicker, and I did not like some random guy knocking on our door, but he did apologize.

It’s a great location to Universal Studios and other attractions. Loved that parking was included. The room was very clean, and quiet for the most part.

It’s just a little dated but I think improvements are being made. The surrounding neighborhood is okay.
