Checked in, got to the room, it smelled like stale air. The AC unit was set on 60 degree on HIGH but it was blowing out warm air. I went down to the desk, the guy went up with me. Looked at it for a second and said "That's as good as it'll get." I said I'm not staying in this room, that's unacceptable. Went back down, the man who checked me in said that's the only room they had. I said I will not stay in that room and I want another one. He magically found another room. That room was slightly better, but still an older AC unit. Extremely low water pressure in shower. Walls/ceiling are VERY thin, so I didn't sleep for 2 nights because of the constant POUNDING. This hotel looks AMAZING in photos, and does have really cool decor/vibe, but it's an old building that hasn't been updated. Don't be fooled by the photos like I was.

The property was very quaint, and the staff was amazing. The hotel is older but it was very charming. I think they need a better way to do the laundry.As the towels did not smell, fresh and the carpets needed to be shampooed. The location of the hotel is close to hollywood and also close to universal studios. The area around there when walking.You have to watch your surroundings though.But that's typical, in most cities.Anyway. Overall, I enjoyed my visit there.And I would stay again

This was my 2nd stay. The hotel is very comfortable and reasonably priced compared to anything nearby. It is walkable to the Pantages Theater and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We were allowed early check-in (12:30pm), which was wonderful. Over night valet parking is also very reasonable compared to nearby hotels. The onsite restaurant is fantastic and very popular. Another BONUS is that the hotel has a HUGE collection of rare Hollywood paraphernalia adorning the halls and stairwells, which is fun to browse. Each room has an homage to some classic movies. I will be back. 😉
