Los Feliz paradise.

Fantastic hotel. Small but comfortable rooms. Courtyard is an upscale restaurant with great food and pretty reasonable prices. The bar is great. Thankyou Kaitlin for pouring some excellent cocktails. Please be aware that the pool is not a swimming pool which is the only downside I felt. For the money you are paying I did expect a pool. I would stay again though.

Our room was kept clean throughout our entire stay! It is a lot smaller than I had imagined, but the beauty of everything is accurate. The courtyard is absolutely gorgeous both day and night, very relaxing vibe. The entire team/staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. Great stay overall!

The photos look amazing but in person the interior renovations look very beat up, old, and not well designed. We booked the higher tier room with balcony on the 2nd level with courtyard views. Bathroom is small, has poor water pressure and no power outlet; also not the cleanest. Room itself is small and has little space for luggage. The restaurant at the hotel is noisy all the way to midnight. Poor sound-proofing. We were lucky we were staying at this hotel for just 1 night out of our 5 day vacation and 1 night was about all we could stand. The hotel staffs were great and friendly but the hotel isn't comfortable.
