Ok Stay
Overall price matches quality of property.
Pros: Location is very good. Staff very nice and welcoming. Property clean outside and in room. Safe and plentiful parking. Bed was comfortable.
Cons: Rooms seem a bit outdated but functional. Not eco friendly. Breakfast ok, only had breads, pastries, and cereal. In my opinion not really kid friendly. No elevator. I requested 1st floor and didn’t get it.
I probably would stay again but maybe not with the family.

Fun and comfortable
It was great! Stayed for a night, they gave food u could find at a gas station but it was free so it was great. Shower was clean, bed was comfortable, owner was nice. Only thing is that the walls are thin so you can hear people walking in and out of their room but it isn’t to bad of a problem because everyone is nice

A very good transit hotel
This is an older property and in some ways shows it's age - worn furniture corners, tired paint - but in the important areas was quite acceptable. Excellent bed. Very easy and friendly check-in. Very quiet room appliances such as the refrigerator and HVAC. It's on a fairly major thoroughfare and yet had little traffic noise. A good place to stay while in transit as we were.

Great stay, close to Universal!!!
We really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in a King room and the pictures of the room were accurate. The room was clean and we felt safe in the motel and the area. We were under 5 miles away from Universal Hollywood. The bus stop was across the street, but we didn’t use it. We will definitely stay here again next time we come to Universal!!! Thanks for a great stay

Great value for the price
The Portofino Inn is a really great value. It was perfect for our family's quick stay after spending a day in Universal Studios. The inside of the room is surprisingly modern. We just had a small hiccup with figuring out the cable, but it was easy to call the front desk for assistance in figuring it out. it's in a great location: we ate dinner at the Islands just around the corner and super close to the 5 Freeway. We would definitely stay here again!

Great for families, only 15 min from universal studios. Second time staying here and this time the chaise lounge was perfect for our 3 year old. Good breakfast included.
