Hotels near Griffith Observatory

The room was acceptably clean, though not exceptionally spotless. The location is excellent, close to the Avenue of Stars. However, one side of the hotel's immediate surroundings can be quite quiet, so the side near the supermarket feels safer. The front desk staff were polite, but housekeeping is only provided for stays longer than 4 days. Amenities include distilled water, a washing machine, and laundry detergent. The price is a bit high, but still acceptable.

I booked this hotel thinking it was within walking distance to Universal Studios Japan without checking the exact location, but it's actually about a 10-minute walk up a hill. There's a shuttle bus that runs every 10-15 minutes, but it fills up quickly with about 30 people, and then they cut off boarding. We were in line in the morning, and the bus became the next one right behind us, so the people behind us just walked instead of waiting. I thought we just barely made it, as waiting another 15 minutes would have delayed our park entry. The hotel itself is beautiful with a very clean and luxurious interior. The room was also a luxurious space, and the complimentary two bottles of water were a nice touch.

We arrived early and were hoping to store luggage as we were exhausted and would have a few hours to burn. The hotel manager on duty kindly checked us in and changed our room to suit the 3 of us. Staff were so friendly and lovely to deal with. The location was ideal as we were going to Universal the next day. This hotel is literally next to the metro and it is only one stop away from Universal. I would definitely come back here again
