8/10 Good

"We did not have breakfast. the room was quiet. The A/C worked well. The bed (king size) is only accessible from one side as the other side and the head and foot of the bed are against the wall. You have to climb over the other person to get in and out of bed"

Sheraton Universal Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The room needs updating. Not enough electrical outlets, some didn't work. The lighting could be better. It was difficult to figure out how to turn lights on. The ambient light switch was all the way at the end behind a lamp between the second bed and the window. The switch by the door was useless and only lit a small portion. The bathroom didn't have enough spots to hang wet towels. Considering this is a room for a larger number of people, I'd expect the room to accommodate that number of people better. The fridge was leaking when we came in. The beds were comfortable, although I wish we could get a comforter for the sofa bed, not just blankets. The pool was a hit and the restaurant by the pool was very good. We had dinner and breakfast there. All the staff was amazing and accommodating, even getting us a back area elevator ride when a special event was taking up the lobby elevators and the wait was very long. Very appreciative."

Loews Hollywood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed for 2 nights. We had a great stay. Our room was spacious and clean. The location is great for site seeing. The food at the bar in the lobby was delicious and convenient for us. The staff was all very friendly. I would definitely recommend staying at this property if you want to be in Hollywood."

Frequently asked questions

What are the best budget hotels in North Central?

For a budget-friendly option in North Central, consider the Lincoln Motel.

The Lincoln Motel offers practical amenities such as free WiFi and air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable stay. It is conveniently located near Devil's Gate Dam, which is just 1.9 kilometres away.

When is the best time to go to North Central?

The best time to go to North Central California depends on what you'd like to do, with late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) generally offering the most pleasant weather for a variety of activities.

For those planning to explore the region's natural beauty, particularly the national parks like Yosemite or Lake Tahoe, late spring is ideal. The weather is typically warm and sunny, but not excessively hot, making it superb for hiking, cycling, and enjoying the outdoors. Waterfalls are often at their most impressive due to snowmelt, and the landscapes are lush.

If you're interested in wine tasting in areas like Napa Valley or Sonoma County, early autumn is superb. The grape harvest season brings a lovely energy to the vineyards, and the weather is usually mild and comfortable for touring wineries and dining outdoors. The changing colours of the leaves also add to the scenic appeal.

Summer (July-August) is also popular, especially for those heading to the higher elevations or water-based activities, but it can be very hot in the central valley areas.
