Cute hotel with nice amentities!
Pros:

Very cute hotel with nice touches such as the pool and room / lobby decor. The bathroom offers lots of space and the room is also nicely designed , offering a spacious layout. The location is also great , about a ten minute walk to Hollywood Blvd. We felt safe while walking around the area.

The little details make a big difference
Pros:

It was ok.

Cons:

I don’t think guests should be paying for parking. Limited outlets. Had to choose between having the a/c unit plugged in or a lamp. Iron was busted. Other iron leaked. We had internet to t.v. Connection problems. Had to use my mobile hot spot for television access. The bed was ok on the firm side.

Pros:

I stayed at this hotel for 11 nights and overall had a good experience. I’ll share some details that might help future guests decide.
The location was excellent for my trip. Universal Studios is only two metro stops away, which made it very convenient—we went there twice. The Walk of Fame is within walking distance, and Little Tokyo is easily accessible via a direct metro line, which was another big plus.

One of the highlights of the stay was definitely the room size. It was very spacious, with two sofas, a large bed, a table, and plenty of furniture. The room was also well-equipped for a longer stay, including a coffee machine with K-cups, a microwave, and a fridge.

Cons:

For the days we rented a car, the parking situation was very good and easy to use. However, it does come at an extra cost of around $40–50 per day, which is something to keep in mind.
Housekeeping is not provided daily but only upon request. This didn’t bother me personally, but I don’t recall seeing this clearly mentioned when booking, so it might be useful information for other guests.
During the first few days, there was a strange smell in the room, possibly from cleaning products. It was a bit disturbing at first but seemed to improve over time.
The biggest downside, in my opinion, was the noise. The hotel is close to the freeway, and you can hear traffic quite clearly, even at night. I had to use earplugs to sleep comfortably.
Another small issue was the water pressure, which was sometimes low. Also, the sink and faucet design made it a bit difficult to wash your hands without touching the sink.

Bon séjour
Pros:

Chambre très propre, grande et spacieuse, ce qui est vraiment appréciable. L’hôtel est bien rénové et l’ensemble est soigné. Le personnel est également sympathique et accueillant.

Cons:

Petit bémol cependant : le simple vitrage, qui laisse passer pas mal de bruit extérieur.

Globalement, un bon séjour malgré ce point.

Blisko atrakcji Hollywoodzkich.
Pros:

Lokalizacja idealna dla osób, którym nie przeszkadza głośna klimatyzacja i hałas autostrady. Pod hotelem przystanek autobusowy Dash, który zawiezie na Aleję Gwiazd i do metra. Na 2-3 noce wygodny hotel i blisko atrakcji w Hollywood.

Cons:

Nie polecam śniadania osobom o wrażliwym żołądku, na mieście smaczniej.
