I pretty much summed it up above.

Liked: Walking distance to Hollywood Bowl, walk of fame, food, mall, lots of "colorful people" around. Great - real Hollywood experience.
Disliked: Parking is a big problem (12 bucks a day extra, if they have an open spot underground); no shampoo or conditioner; no coffee.

I recommend it for the...

Liked: the place.
Disliked: badly renovated. Doors are not easy to close ( all doors). windows are terrible. the corridor carpet was really dirty. the elevator is dirty. The only coffee machine has a non drinkable coffee.

Poor

Good

Had a lovely stay and...

Liked: There was no breakfast but free tea and coffee an food vendor machines and a microwave
Disliked: Nothing

Very good

Pleasant

Liked: Only few kilometres far from the Universal Studios. Although driving for a few more miles would not be an issue. The location is not worth it. Some parts of the motel are freshly renovated
Disliked: Parking not included, and not even a place guaranteed to be available for purchase. Floor was damaged amd I was afraid to get splinters on the kids feet. The hotel is being renovated, hopefully they will fix it soon.The whole Hollywood area on not nice. Too many homelessness people. Not ideal for vacation with the family.

Liked: location

OK for a budget stay.

Liked: Beds were comfortable. Plenty of hot water for shower. Polite, efficient staff. We were able to store out luggage after check out.
Disliked: Other guests, and people outside the hotel, were noisy. Woke us up at 1:00 and 5:00am. Not many electrical outlets.
