Stayed 2 nights, had a pleasant experience. Room was very small but clean. Had to pick up our room key a mile down but that was an easy experience, the gentleman at the Nite Inn was very courteous. Beds were comfortable enough, decor was a little outdated but we didn’t care. There was a microwave & mini refrigerator which was excellent! Location for Universal studios was only a few minutes away & hotel was walking distance to restaurants, a couple grocery stores & convenience stores. If you have a large vehicle parking is very tight. Price was right since all we did was sleep here. I would recommend & stay here again if needed.

Great value hotel if you plan a short stay near universal studios, room and bathroom was neatly cleaned and beds were comfortable, I would recommend and return. The only thing to consider is limited parking spaces (1 car per room) other than that is great :)

Quirky, old-fashioned inn with colorful décor. Rooms are basic but cozy. Staff is welcoming and kind. Parking is available and free. A fun place with personality

Stayed there a few days ago and the rooms are way smaller than they appear in the pictures! For the price i could have went somewhere 100 better! But in the pictures it looked nice and big, the Room was dusty and the Service in the room was ok. the front desk guy was rude, I called for some questions and just hung up on me, will never stay here again and Don’t recommend at all!
