Good value for the price.
Took the family to Universal Studios and stayed 3 nights.
This is an older facility so take that into account. If you're looking for a fairly clean room, a hot shower and a fairly comfortable bed to sleep on, and don't mind it being an older facility, then this is the place for you. It had 2 queen beds and a fold down couch so everyone was able to have plenty of room to sleep. Room is small but provides the necessities. Everything worked like the air conditioner, tv, mini fridge, microwave etc. The room was cleaned and beds made every day which was nice. It was only a few minutes from Universal Studios so I would say the value was good for the price.
No frills spot to sleep. The price is low and reflects the fact that you have to check in at the sister property about a mile away unless you arrive between 4-9pm. No ice machine, not much of anything on site.
Rooms are dated, small and minimally furnished.
It was a good place to stay for universal but not as clean as i was expecting it to be, gum on the wall and spit wods on the wall by the toilet, other then that sevice was good.
Check in was nice and easy. Other than that, it was not the best. We had a family room (two queens and a futon). Im glad we didnt need the futon, there wouldn't have been room to walk around; the room is very small.
The worst - Worst part was that there was no hot water. None. My daughter and I showered at different times, and there was no hot water. The temperature did not change from Cold after 3 minites. The front desk is staffed from 9am to 9pm. We were not in our room during those times so we couldn't tell anyone. We checked out early at 9:15am and were going to tell them then, but there was no front desk person to talk to. I talked to a couple who also had no hot water. Maybe there was an issue they were unaware of and this was a fluke, but it was difficult to tell them.
The beds were not comfy and the blankets were thin. In one area of the room there are glass blocks as a window that have no curtains or cover. If you need a dark room to sleep, this is not it. But really, all of that could have been overlooked if we had hot water.
This was a great budget hotel for our trip to universal studios! We would definitely stay again. Rooms were clean and in good condition, front desk staff was friendly, and there is free parking. After 7pm you have to check in at a different hotel but the staff at El Patio Inn make you very aware of that and where the hotel is. Great location for universal studios, there’s a bus stop a two minute walk away and it’s just 3 stops to the universal shuttle. Great hotel!

We had a pleasant time here, the parking and rooms are small but very clean and staff very friendly.
I would recommend this place for sure.
I have nothing negative to say about this place.
We definitely come back.
Thank you!
Black mould in the showers, dirty sheets greedy finger prints on the walls and being ground floor with sketchy neighbours made it feel extremely unsafe and would not budge when alerted about black mould and need to check out early. Would NOT recommend.
Have to check in and at different inn. Nobody working the inn. Parking lot was extremely compact and i have a small car. Found a milipede in the bathroom first night then a roach in the morning. Called the number provided no answer. Called the inn that i checked in with and she was very rude and snarky about the fact i found a roach. Went to use the 2nd roll of toliet paper on the last day and found reddish strains into the sides of the the toliet paper. I would never recommened this place to anyone, i dont care how close it's to universal studios.
This property was not staffed only there certain times. Parking was horrible very inconvenient to get in and out!! Street noise bad. Motel was not represented very well in Expedia. Overpriced for what it is. Would not stay there again.
