Fodor's Review:

This five-story, English country-style structure shares grounds with waterfalls, a swan-filled lagoon, and a gazebo; the pool area and lush garden make you forget you're near a city. Rooms are simply furnished and decorated in a flowery style. The restaurant overlooks the gardens and is a Valley favorite for brunch; on weekends, live entertainment and happy hours bring in the crowds from nearby TV studios. The hotel offers discount tickets and a complimentary shuttle to Universal Studios.

tourists or family best moderate hotel in L.A.

Posted by AskOksana from San Fernando Valley, CA USA on 1/4/08
we live in the area & when friends visit from out of the country (or relatives) this is a great place to put them; reasonable price, clean, giant Olympic heated pool, self-service laundry room, cheap coffee shop & best of all guests can walk to shops (during the day) or walk to local restaurants SAFELY (at night) or take a 5 min. cab ride to one of the best sushi bars Sushi Katsu-Ya about 1.5 miles east of the Lodge! Be it in-laws, foreign guests or their teenaged sons, everyone we have put here has LOVED the place. A fresh fare supermarket is directly across the street, so they can stock up on snacks/water, parking is free, terrific tourist excursion desk, Avis car rental & decent restaurant... but the black swans on their green (dyed) brook is the piece du resistance! They are about 2 miles from Universal Studios & run a free shuttle for guests.
