The Portofino Inn looks like your average Spartan no-tel from the outside. But looks are deceiving. While the hotel is simple and a bit dated, the service was extraordinary, the room was clean, and it is a very short distance from Universal Studios. Unlike most places around there, the Portofino offers complimentary breakfast and free parking. It is a good deal for the dollar.

The property was nice and clean. My room was clean as well. Only complaint is the shower head was old and outdated. The water was spraying everywhere. Thats my only issue with the room. Replace shower heads to newer ones. But other than than. I like that it had a mini fridge and microwave. Desk to eat at chair/sofa to sit on. My only other complaint was the night shift guy i think his name was mike. He was rude. And should not be working in customer service. I was leaving at 8:45 pm. And they were fliming the next day so they blocked off bunch spots with cones. And i saw only 2 empty spots available. So im like hmm let me pop in and see if there will be parking for when i return since i was gonna be out past 12. I popped in. Mike was on his laptop. No hi how's it going nothing. He seemed bothered that i was bothering him with a simple question. I said hey will there be parking when i return. Hes like uuhh probably. I didnt ask a probably question. It was a yes or no. Could have simply responded with yes. If there isnt we will make room for you or something. Im like well they said there will be parking for the quest to accommodate them filming. So i just wanted to make sure. And he replied with a smart remark uh yeah there filming tomorrow. He was just rude over all. And should not be in that position. Then the following day i left around 9pm. Hes staring out the door looking like a creep. He left with im assuming his gf for a late night walk like he wasnt at work to do a job

I just needed a clean and safe room. It came through in flying colors. The staff was precise. The night mgr, day mfr, and the 2 maids I tan i to were simply polite people. Two thumbs up for that.

Free parking, mostly quiet, pretty good location. Diner isn't usable and the breakfast is pretty standard but overall clean and comfortable.
