Hotels farther than 3 miles are not compared. Walking and driving distances follow OpenStreetMap streets and paths from the hotel's map location to the landmark's map point (through its main entrance where one is on record). Walking times are estimates at about 3 miles an hour, not measured times; a drive is a distance only.

Weights: facts 68%, proximity 15%, reachability 17%. - Verified facts 68%: in-room kitchen, pool and breakfast facts with a source, full credit for 180 days, half credit when only the hotel states it. - No reviews, by design. No review text and no review-site rating enters this number: it is built from facts with a source, distance and reachability. - Proximity 15%: straight-line miles to Universal Studios Hollywood, within 3 miles. - Reachability 17%: website reachable, phone checked, hours stated, profile verified. Full method: https://journeyed.org/methodology/ ## Why trust this ranking - No reviews, by design. This ranking is built only from things you can check: facts each hotel states on its own website (each linked and dated) and distances computed from open map data. - On record for Los Angeles: 15,243 sourced facts on 2,608 hotels, 593 hotel websites read and 84 recognized awards on 60 hotels from Forbes Travel Guide and AAA. Reader voting is open on every hotel page. - One published formula for every hotel. No hotel can pay to change a score or a rank, and a fact loses credit when it is not re-checked within 180 days.
