About
Best Western Canoga Park Motor Inn
Best Western Canoga Park Motor Inn sits in Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley, roughly 20 minutes from Universal Studios and about 30 minutes from LAX. It's a straightforward motor inn built around comfort: rooms are spacious and recently renovated, and the property backs that up with a heated outdoor pool, a jacuzzi, a fitness centre, and a game room. Parking is free, and the 24-hour reception makes late arrivals painless.
The breakfast here earns consistent praise — think fresh fruit, waffles, eggs, cold cuts, and pastries — which guests often call the best of their trip. There's also an on-site restaurant and lounge bar for dinner, plus practical touches like a business centre, luggage storage, and vending machines.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Location is car-oriented — It's about a 20-minute drive to Universal Studios and 30 minutes to LAX, so you'll want a car or be comfortable with ride-hailing.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place — the policy is strict.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so if you're arriving after midnight, you'll need to plan ahead.
- Some guests feel it's not quite 4-star — One reviewer rated it 3 stars overall, noting the pool and breakfast were strong but the property didn't fully match the 4-star mark.

8.4Verified guest“I had a spacious room with two comfortable queen beds. Everything feels freshly renovated — not as worn as most motels, even the bathroom.”
8.4Verified guest“Staff were exceptionally friendly. The room was spotless and modern, with a mini-fridge, mini freezer, and mini microwave. We loved the inviting pool and jacuzzi, plus the 42-inch LCD TV with good cable channels. Free Wi-Fi and free parking were a bonus. The room and parking area felt safe and quiet, with hardly any traffic, and it was only about 20 minutes to Universal Studios. The continental breakfast had assorted fresh fruit, cereal, waffles, hardboiled eggs, bagels, muffins, and scones. The on-site restaurant served a delicious steak and shrimp, and the chef/owner was very kind.”
