My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms, albeit a bit dated and tired, were spacious enough even with extra sleeping arrangements, and they even had a sweet touch with rose petals, a bottle of Shiraz, and chocolates awaiting me. The annexe building was a hidden gem with a lounge, kitchen, and two double bedrooms. Definitely the best value for the entire trip!

After spending 10 nights on a cruise ship, the hotel rooms turned out to be a mix of spaciousness and a bit of cramped feeling with a window unit AC. However, they were clean, bright, and overall provided a decent place to sleep. The service was absolutely amazing, combining to make this hidden jewel shine, especially for visiting Hollywood and Universal Studios. The location was loved for its perfect setting to explore Hollywood, making it the ideal end to a family holiday at the Magic Castle Club. The dining experience around the pool was great, convenient, and a welcome start to the day. The facilities offered were appreciated, adding to the positive experience.
