Clark Street Diner (inside hotel) was excellent, hotel bar was popular and had a great staff. Location is awesome for Hollywood Blvd bar scene and convenient to Hwy 101 for driving around LA. Front desk staff tried to pressure us into valet parking ($40/night) and rooms are cleaned only by request, but otherwise an excellent choice.

Really cool old school Hollywood Hotel! I’ve never been in a hotel where every inch of every hallway and every public space was covered with movie pictures, celebrity autographs, everything - even the elevator - has classic wallpaper pictures from old movies, and a replica of feet-in-cement from the Chinese Theatre down the street. The building is covered with neon, and has a wonderful old school classic diner in the lobby. They serve excellent high-quality food, have their own bakery - where the pastries and breads were all homemade and super high-quality - and the service was excellent. Yes, you have to pay $45 for valet parking over and above the normal hotel rate, but that’s a small price to pay to have the location of this hotel. We were only a couple miles either way from virtually everything that we wanted to do on the trip, from Universal Studios to Hollywood and Highland, to the various movie Studios that we went to visit, etc. We were only gonna stay two days, but as our plans changed, we just decided to stay, as we really liked the place. Can’t say that about too many hotels I’ve been to recently. Worth the stay for sure if you’re coming to Los Angeles and don’t want to stay in a standard corporate hotel.

Great hotel and will gladly stay here again as first choice if in the area. Loved the decor and convenient to have a diner right next door. Friendly staff with quick check in and out. They had a valet which was nice for those who had cars and a place to wait for those who used uber/taxi's. The room itself was quite big and the bathroom was extremely spacious. Beds were comfy and while the heater made some noise we didn't need to keep it on long as the room held the temperature well. It is near the street so those with noise sensitivities may be slightly bothered. The only minor slight inconvenience was the tv wasn't on an adjustable hinge so a little difficult to see from the far side of the room especially with the blinds open but like it was a large flat screen with plenty of channels to watch. Would definitely recommend if you're staying in LA.
