Convenient location
Although Downey Studios have now closed their doors as a production studio, guests have still found plenty to like about the hotel’s location. There are shopping and dining spots nearby and the proximity to the area’s various theme parks make this hotel an option for anyone seeking a cheaper alternative to hotels nearer to the attractions.
positive:
Friendly staff
Although guests tend to find the night staff here a little rough around the edges, the general opinion of the staff is a good one. Guests have found the front-desk staff friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions or attempt to resolve any issues.

Low-cost rooms
If your budget is tight, the rates at this Downey hotel are found to cater well to budget-conscious guests. Additionally, the free breakfast, parking, and Internet access mean that more of your money can stay in your pocket.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Changing ownership
Reviews indicate that this hotel has had former lives as a Comfort Inn and a Cambridge Inn. While there’s nothing specifically wrong with that, it does seem that the continual changes in ownership mean that very little has been done to upgrade the property in recent times.
negative:
Rooms often disappoint
While a small number of guests have been satisfied with their allocated rooms, most are disappointed, often highlighting several areas of concern. The cleanliness of the rooms (or lack thereof) is often an issue, as is poor maintenance and poor quality bedding.
negative:
Neglected and unsafe grounds
Guests have reported that the grounds of this hotel suffer from the same lack of maintenance as the rooms. Aside from the unkempt appearance, guests have seen ‘weird’ people hanging around the parking lot. Unsurprisingly, this has led a number of guests to feel unsafe.
