The bottom floor of the mall was pretty empty except for Marshalls and Home Goods. The upstairs had tenants.

Escalator has been broken the last few times I've visited over the course of a couple of years. Might be coincidence, poor management, or overuse but it definitely isn't doing the place justice.

Studio City Place shopping center is a complete mess. The parking structure is chaotic and poorly designed, good luck finding a spot without getting stuck. The elevators are painfully slow; it can literally take you 10 minutes just to get up to the ground level. Way too many large stores crammed into such a tiny plaza, it feels overcrowded and stressful every time.

Lots of free parking. I drive down the west side ramp to P2, then take the elevator up to level 2 to see my hairdresser Melanie at Studio 15 Salon Suite #212-28. She takes one client at a time, excellent service and prices.

Ample parking but people are still aggro about it. I also had my car side swiped while it was parked and I was getting my hair done. Trying to turn left at the light to get out of the lot is also interesting if there are more than a few cars waiting as there is no room for more than two cars to wait at this light without blocking traffic in the plaza one way or another. If it sprinkles the escalators will be broken for weeks.
