Motel 6 in Wilshire from NZ$151

"Walkable (albeit steep uphill) to universal studio and city walk or downhill to metro station. Hotel offers free shuttle rides every 15 minutes to universal city walk during regular hours if too tired to do more walking. Friendly staff and clean room - would stay again if cancellation policy is more flexible as guests have no control over flights."

"kids love the pool and the beds.. also the soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner provided. the only negative was no microwave on our room and there’s water mark on the carpet that seems like a bit old building. But overall, it’s a nice hotel "

"The best customer service and attention to detail in all of my hotel stays. Daniel at the front desk was excellent! The staff who got our rental on a daily basis were great. The cleaning staff was awesome and upstairs restaurant staff at The Penthouse restaurant were spectacular. If you’re going to stay in Santa Monica I highly recommend staying at the Huntley Hotel!"

"From the trendy ambiance to the delicious offerings, H Cafe sets the standard for excellence. "

"Very good "

"Typical fast and efficient Sheraton services."

"Far from ordinary with killer vibes, this hotel did not disappoint. The Supra Lowery Brothers jazz band was the highlight of my stay. Check them out every Wednesday night!"

"I need something close to the airport so this is perfect. Shuttle is great and runs very often. Staff is nice and helpful. There isn’t much shopping to do. 3 restaurants inside but I walked to the nearby hotel to get donuts and Starbucks. Close to car rental place which is another reason I picked this hotel"

"They gave me a late checkout because I had work to finish and were very understanding and friendly."
