Hotel Angeleno
"The room was cozy, although there was a balcony, but they locked it, so you can't really go outside or open the door! The only problem I have is that the water wasn't hot enough; it's on the warm side. The hotel is in the middle of the highway, so if you don't drive like me, you are stuck!"

Luskin Hotel
"Luskin is consistently excellent. Friendly staff, new and well-maintained rooms/facilities, and nice bar/restaurant on premises. Most convenient option if visiting UCLA for a few days. I’ve stayed there about 20 times past 5 years."

Good Nite Inn - Calabasas
"We stayed for 13 days, without complaint. It was very quiet and clean and had free parking. The cleaning staff was very good and we always had clean towels in our room. The stay in Calabasas was quiet and way less crowded from staying in LA. Would definitely recommend."
