Gi, my bartender ROCKS! Probably the best part of my week to be honest. The hotel staff is also very friendly and the room looks clean and nice as hell. The room is really close to my work which I needed and I love this area already! Thank you for my stay!

"Uncomfortable, waste of money hotel"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 03, 2025 NEW
I am currently staying here for a surprise trip for my kids to universal studios. I was sold by the pictures, that there was a pool and that it was walkable distance to universal studios. Unfortunately I am regretting staying here immensely. 1. The pool my kids were excited to go in the front desk staff were surprised we were going and had to unlock it for us and said umm it’s unheated. My kids put their foot in and it was an instant no. 2. The beds are so uncomfortable, you can feel the springs in the mattress, like you are staying in a motel or something. The pillows are these small squares that are lumpy and hard, not what you would expect for “hotel” pillows. 3. The well to universal isn’t really a direct walk, it’s a walk to a shuttle. So if you’re planning for an exact time you want to get there, don’t think just walking time like they state. 4. I’ve never had such a confusing shower experience, there’s literal instructions. Feels like such a waste of money spent on this trip but what to do at this point.

Returning customer for the third time. Friends and family enjoy staying at the BLVD Hotel and Spa in Studio City for the local attractions, music and great food. Within a few block walk the legendary cabaret The Baked Potato. Sushi Dan is a favorite for Sashimi and Sushi (Happy Hour is a must) and Ralph’s for produce for the fridge. Many other great places for breakfast , lunch and dinner dinning in the area. The staff always go above and beyond to keep us happy, indoor parking for your rental car but car services and public transportation(bus and subway) are very close. Tip:When staying for extended stays in Studio City and then visiting other areas of California we Uber locally and arrange for a car rental any day before departure. A single bus(the 222 )for $1.75 can get you to the hotel or Burbank Airport. The Studio City Metro rail station is also a few block walk. Final word, the new coffee machine in the lobby had a cup hot and ready in the AM.

"Great hotel to experience Universal"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 10, 2024
This was the 2nd year in a row that my teenage daughters and I stayed here one night during our trip to Universal Studios HHN. We found the room to be clean, staff pleasant, and beds comfortable. The hotel was quiet. Short walk to the Universal tram. Although the area around the hotel and where we needed to walk to the tram was a bit dirty and had areas that appeared to be homeless encampments, we did not experience any safety issues walking back to our room after midnight. The only issues we had were trying to figure out the shower nozzle. There is tandem parking, but it wasn’t a problem for us. I like that the parking is covered and right next to the entrance. It felt safe. Already booked my room for next year, so yes, based off of our experience I recommend this hotel.

"Customer service has gone completely downhill since they started renovations"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed November 28, 2024
The BLVD used to be our go-to hotel when we visit Universal Studios but the past 2 visits have been well below our expectations for basic customer service. The time before this visit, we stayed SEVEN nights and only got housekeeping ONE time. We followed the instructions in the room to let them know if we did NOT want housekeeping, but ended up not getting housekeeping because the actual policy is to let them know if you DO WANT housekeeping. I complained multiple times to the front desk during our stay, but somehow still was not put on the list for housekeeping. They claimed that housekeeping called to confirm, but who knows when this phone call was supposed to be? This time around, we opted to just not have housekeeping for our shorter stay and requested extra toiletries at check in to not have the hassle of running out. The front desk person Omar said he would send someone up in a couple minutes with our requested items, but no one ever came. We had to go back down after 30 minutes to ask a different person and turns out all the items we asked for were available at the front desk the whole time. I don't know what it is, but this huge disconnect between staff and guests is not acceptable. We will not be staying here ever again.
