    “Great cost performance near USH!”

    It was about a 15-minute walk plus shuttle bus to USH (probably about 20 minutes just walking), and the price was within 20,000 yen for a night at the end of January, so I was very satisfied. It took about 30 minutes to an hour by taxi to Hollywood and the airport (varies by location and time). The room was clean, equipped with towels, bath amenities like shampoo, a hairdryer, microwave, kettle, and refrigerator, making it very comfortable. There was a bar on the first floor and probably a small self-service shop that was open 24 hours. You could buy drinks and simple foods. The staff were kind and friendly, which made me feel safe. There was no smoking area, and I was told I could smoke on the street outside. I didn't think the safety was that bad, but there was one instance around 10 PM when someone strange approached me while I was smoking alone, so I think it's good to stay cautious.

    “For families considering a budget trip to Universal Studios”

    This is my 5th or 6th visit to Universal Studios. Until now, I had been using Hilton. Recently, I became concerned about the congestion at Hilton and the behavior of its guests, and due to Japan's deflation and yen depreciation, I decided to save money and stay at this hotel this time. [Positive Aspects] I was surprisingly pleased with the access to Universal Studios. I think it’s easiest if you can quickly board a shuttle from Hilton, but you often have to wait. Walking is quite a distance and involves a slope. From this hotel to the shuttle stop, it's just a few minutes' walk, and you need to cross four crosswalks. At first, it felt far, but once I got used to it, it seemed very close. The shuttle is mainly for users of the subway station and has three connected cars. When we used it, the wait time was between zero to about five minutes. The ride takes just a few minutes. The room was clean and very spacious. In previous trips, I hadn’t noticed, but during this savings-focused trip, I realized that having a microwave can help save a lot. You can bring food from Japan, and there is also a large supermarket just a few minutes away. Many American hotels often do not have kettles, so be careful about that. [Considerations] There was no dining table in the room. You need to be creative and either use a small desk or sit on the bed to eat. There is a mysterious additional charge labeled HOTEL SURCHARGE, which costs $18 per night. I had a similar experience at a budget hotel in Santa Monica, so it may be a unique system of budget hotels. Even with the additional cost, it’s still cheaper than nearby hotels, so let's accept it. [Summary + Additional Info] I especially recommend this hotel for families with children, those staying more than two days, and guests who want to return to the hotel to rest periodically rather than staying in the park all day, and those who want to save money. Another cost-saving option could be to stay at a much cheaper hotel away from Universal Studios and buy Express tickets to visit all attractions and shows in one day from opening to closing. It's up to your preferences.

    “Perfect for using Universal Studios.”

    I used it for Universal Studios. It took about 7-8 minutes to get to the studio's shuttle bus stop. I planned to drop off my luggage at 9 am on the day of my stay, but I was grateful that they allowed me an early check-in for free. The room was well-cleaned and there were no particular issues. As mentioned in other reviews, I was charged a mysterious fee of $21, which seems to be a resort fee, so that point needs to be noted.

    “Solo trip to USH1”

    This location is very good for those aiming for USH. It is about an 8-minute walk to the free shuttle bus stop to Universal and the nearest station. The room is clean and has a microwave and refrigerator. There is no kettle to boil water, so I heated water in the microwave. There is also a larger supermarket within walking distance. The surrounding area felt a bit dangerous to walk alone late at night, but as long as you are careful, there is no problem.
