It was really fun and comfortable
Pros:

Location was great and I appreciated the diner next door! The room was quite large but still cosy and quiet. The air conditioning was noisy but I’m hard of hearing so I could still sleep with it on ‘auto’ (thermostat controlled). The valet service was not suitable to my vehicle but I was happy to park it myself and the valet was always very amiable and helpful. Of course, the decor was a real bonus with the stairway and hallways packed with photos and memorabilia of movie stars!

Cons:

There was not really anything to complain about during my short stay and I would go there again if the opportunity came up.

Atmosfera hollywoodiana e buona posizione per visitare Los Angeles
Pros:

Hotel abbastanza curato in zona Hollywood, buona posizione per Hollywood Boulevard, Walk of Fame e non lontano da Lake Hollywood Park, Griffith Observatory e Studios. Camera spaziosa con doccia super, buona pulizia, letti grandi e comodi. Piacevole anche le decorazioni e l'arredamento della struttura e della camere, improntato sul cinema. Non male nemmeno la piscina. Consigliato in zona Hollywood.

Cons:

Parcheggio con valet non economico anche se a Los Angeles i prezzi sono questi.

Fantastic stay, great locations, highly recommend.
Pros:

The staff at this hotel were wonderful. They graciously helped us with each request, holding bags, where should we dine, how can we get the the Hollywood Bowl......I thought that the front desk staff were the hotel owners, they took such pride and care with each customer.
Our room was large and updated, with easy access to the pool, elevator and stairs. There is a cute sitting area just outside the lobby.
The diner at the hotel was excellent. The food was great, ervice was fantastic and servings were plentiful. The bakery selection looked wonderful.
I would happily stay here again.

Cons:

I can't think of anything that would make this stay better.

Kleurrijk hotel in Hollywood
Pros:

Prachtige sfeervolle kamer, hier is echt aandacht aan besteed. Ruime en schone badkamer. Koelkastje en magnetron op de kamer. Dicht bij touristische plekken in Hollywood.

Cons:

Het is niet een hele prettige wijk om een rondje te lopen. Verder geen aanmerkingen aan het hotel zelf!
