I stayed 2 nights after getting off a cruise and everything about the experience was top notch. The staff was very nice as the place had a very cozy boutique feel and the location is absolutely in the middle of everything. The bed was comfortable, and the staff aims to please.

The only negative was getting hit with an extra $50 per night, $40 for parking and $10 service fee. The room was large, bed was very comfortable, very good coffee machine. An added bonus was the restaurant (home made style bread). The hotel also has easy access to the freeway.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Got us an early check in and then upgraded our room for free when it was discovered our AC was not working. The valet parking was also wonderful, the staff very friendly and quick. The diner attached to the restaurant is fantastic (highly recommend the French toast!) The location is also great and central with the Walk of fame being walking distance away and other major sites a quick drive.

We stayed one night when we went to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Loved the vibe of the hotel and especially the restaurant, food was delicious… closed down the tiny bar downstairs after our concert which we actually just walked back from. Definitely will stay there for next concert.

Location was convenient. Beautiful clean room and quick friendly employees. I was a little surprised to find the pool was in the adjacent building basically ground level surrounded by rooms. The ice machine was also in that building and was next to a laundry shoot piled with dirty laundry which was a little bit funky. Nothing was a deal breaker, i enjoyed my stay in overall.
