Local attractions include Universal Studios and downtown L.A. All the suites feature private entrances; separate living and sleeping areas and the split-level penthouse suite has two bedrooms. The hotel has an evening hospitality hour on Monday through Thursday which is a nice extra. ***As of September 2006; all Marriott International; Inc. lodging brands in the United States and Canada will be 100% smoke free.***
