Besides the hotel being beautiful, the people that worked there were really sweet. From our check-in to our check-out, everyone was always very friendly and nothing was too much to ask. Our hotel room had a great view, and the room itself was also very nice. I’s have to say that besides the people being so sweet, the biggest assets of this hotel are the rooftop bar, which has weekly events that are very fun, and the food. The food in the restaurant on the roof and the one downstairs were both very good. Actually so good, that we ate there every night and didn’t bother going to a restaurant in the Hollywood area.

Cheyenne Belgium

Great location, super friendly staff and great food! Would highly recommend staying here especially if it’s your first time in LA.

Stephanie Australia

Everything was amazing ! All the staff very friendly and helpful ! A special shout out to Paul at the front desk who was very friendly and helpful ! Such a nice chap! Bed in 503 was so comfy too !

John Australia

good location, got a upgrad with a view to the hollywood sign, comfortable bed, really nice stuff,

Michael Austria

Late checkout (12pm). Considering the abnormal high prices for often bad accommodations in LA, Mama‘s shelter is affordable, AND clean, well located, safe and super cozy.

Laura Italy

The rooms were comfy and it’s well located to walk to some of Hollywood’s main attractions (Dolby and Grauman’s theatres). I really liked that guests got priority rooftop access to the great restaurant and bar up there. Parking was reasonably priced ($30 per night) for LA

Amy United Kingdom

We just had the greatest time. Our room was cozy and inviting and playful. Our bathroom was gorgeous! It was really funny going from our black out curtained room into our luminous sunlit bathroom each morning. We felt like we were stepping into a bathroom in heaven. Ha! All of the staff were such the perfect combination of friendly and professional. This was one of my best experiences at any hotel. Thank you!!!

Saskia United States

I liked this hotel very much it was very homely, staff were great. Food was fantastic

Angelo United Kingdom

It's a cool place in a good location. Having a busy bar is great if your looking for a place to meet some people. Staff were excellent and food was tasty.

  • Is there a shuttle to universal studios from the hotel? Is it free or for a charge?
    Hi! Thank you for your question. We don’t have a shuttle at the hotel to Universal Studios, but there are still some easy and reliable forms of transportation to the amusement park. You may consider taking an Uber or Lyft ride, or you can take the Metro Red Line train route starting at the North Hollywood Station located on the cross-streets of Hollywood Blvd and Vine St. You will then exit the train at the Universal/Studio City Station and a free park shuttle will be available a short distance away to take you to the front of the park. Have fun at Universal Studios! Mama loves you, Paul L.
