Studio City Court Yard Hotel

The Studio City Courtyard Hotel is a good hotel, given its value for money. Due to the Corona pandemic, the lobby is closed; any interaction with the front desk is exclusively through the night window. The staff, mostly Spanish-speaking, is amicable and helpful. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. However, after the Omikron variant of the virus appeared, the staff stopped cleaning the rooms; those who wanted a clean room had to clean it themselves. The hotel offers rooms and suites. My suite was spacious, generous, and well equipped with strong wi-fi, TV (about 100 channels - no HBO), refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, iron and ironing board, plenty of outlets, a little tresor, and a hairdryer; storage space abounds. Parking is located behind the hotel, but parking is not free for hotel guests. There is a $10 fee per day for the use of the parking lot. The swimming pool is heated and clean. There are comfortable sitting areas throughout the hotel grounds. The hotel is easily accessible from LAX airport via I-405 and 101. However, even with "normal" traffic, you should allow up to 30 minutes for the 22 miles and up to an hour during rush hour. The hotel is located on Ventura Blvd, a busy street, and directly in the flight path of the Burbank Airport, which can lead to some noise pollution. Studio City is what Americans call a "good neighborhood." The area around the hotel is quiet and safe; there are stores, supermarkets (RALPH'S across the intersection), restaurants, hairdressers, and banks.

The pool was amazing and it felt so like a holiday pool compared to some other ones we have stayed in around California ! Safe location, as four girls we felt very safe in the area. Close to a few shops that you could grab food/ water from. Overall staff lovely

Night porter from the first morning wasn’t very welcoming and didn’t really seem to understand how booking.com works, I had messaged in advance to ask could we leave our bags but she told us that we weren’t allowed, in the end she let us leave them and we were very grateful !

I really love this property… my favorite in the Studio City area. I’m transitioning to a new home and have needed short-term accommodations. I’ve spent most of my time staying here for many different reasons. At this point I’ve probably have stayed in 10 different rooms, so I think I can offer a pretty good assessment of the property. First of all, each and every time I’ve walked into a new room, I’ve found them to have been serviced, clean and neutral smelling—some reviews have complained about pot or cigarette smells. I’ve never found that to be the case. It is an older building… my guess is was built in the 1960s. Old doesn’t mean bad, so long as a place is well maintained. This place is. The other morning as I was walking through the property I noticed a cart with nothing but old and fresh curtains. Apparently they were changing out the curtains to clean as part of regular maintenance. Admittedly most of the rooms might feel older, particularly the bathrooms with the tiling and porcelain bathtubs. I prefer to say their vintage as they remind me of taking baths in my grandmothers apartment when I was 5 years old. But again, they do seem to a plan. Twice I’ve stayed in rooms where they’ve remodeled… probably the bathroom where the tub was replaced by a glass, walk-in shower, modern sink facility and new tiled floor. Looked and felt like it was in one you’d find in a 4-star hotel. I can’t say enough about the friendly, helpful staff. They’re truly the best. The housekeeping staff do an excellent job of preparing times. I’ve never find hairs or dirty bathrooms like some reviewers have brought up. As for people complaining about not having their rooms daily….I don’t have my room cleaned every day. But in like it that way. Why waste water changing sheets every day when it’s not needed. Thing is, if I ask to have my room on it. They’ll even ask me at the front desk what time is like to have it done to suit my convenience.

The only negative thing I find with this place isn’t really the hotels fault—it’s the location on Ventura Blvd. This main thoroughfare can be noisy with street traffic, pedestrians and the usual city sounds. Sone of the rooms look out directly to the street and sidewalk, though dense shrubbery does offer some privacy and noise buffering. The city presently has the street ripped up and have steel panels to cover the work in the off hours. The thump-thump-thump of every cat driving by at all hours can need annoying, but you get used to it. If noise is particularly bothersome to you, ask for a room that doesn’t look out directly onto the street.

Nice staff, easy check in & checkout.

The booking.com price didn't mention you have to pay for parking ($10!). You actually don't have to pay for parking if you book through the hotel directly, so keep that in mind!

The pool was relatively warm n clean . Maid service excellent had issues with WiFi phone in room didn't work they exchanged it but still didn't work thonk it needed a new socket replacement .

Liked area. Pool room and staff felt safe

I had no idea what to expect from my booking at the Studio City Courtyard Hotel, and I was *very* pleasantly surprised. + I was given a free upgrade when I checked in, which was awesome, and my new room turned out to be really spacious and, dare I say it, luxe. It had a really nice seating area with a couch and coffee table, and a fantastic bathroom with a rainfall-style showerhead and lavender-scented toiletries. I was not expecting to be so pampered by what looks like a motel. + To my surprise and delight, the room also had a fridge and a microwave. + The room heater was excellent, and kept me nice and toasty. + The wifi signal was strong. + I made use of the on-site guest laundry, which was $1.50 each to wash and to dry. The front desk sold detergent for $1.

- My only minor complaint about the room was that I wish the desk were a bit bigger; it was basically just a table to hold the ice bucket, and barely fit my two laptops. - In general, the location wasn't quite as convenient as I would have liked; bus 20 goes past the hotel, but there aren't any subway stops within walking distance, so I ended up taking Lyft almost everywhere (which, in LA, was bracingly expensive).

Bowling alley and fantastic restaurants nearby. Within minutes of universal studios.

No hot water pressure. The refrigerator clicked and clacked loudly. Couldn't sleep. No power outlets near the head of the beds.

Clean, parking lot well lit, great staff. Room was renovated and all I needed I had in my room. Great pool and hang out area, bright sun light filled patio/common area

Early morning city work downed the wifi but staff directed me to local Starbucks down the street to tap into wifi. wish parking cost was included however very reasonable for $13/night.

This is the breath of fresh air in a shady world of the los Angeles cheap motels / hotels The price that you will never beat Fridge Microwave Safety safety safety Location

TV works occasionally ( Here is the odds I stayed here 3 times and it's like a gamble you've got 33% of working TV) Sometimes thin walls feels like a problem, but the neighbors that doesn't care about are real problem! Parking is extra 10 bucks

I was staying for 6 nights and it was a good stay!! Better than I expected with a nice bathroom. The bed was nice, definitely made the stay better.

Most of the towels had a bunch of stains on them and didn’t make me feel too clean. I tried to pick out the ones with little to mine when I got the chance.
