Entusiasta!
Pros:

Ottima posizione, stanza pulita, tutti i servizi disponibili.

Cons:

Essendo molto vicina come struttura alla strada, in estate con le finestre aperte si sente abbastanza il traffico. Comunque abbastanza sopportabile.

Comfortable hotel in a great location close to Hollywood Boulevard.
Pros:

Nice big shower, comfortable bed. Great location up the hill from Hollywood Boulevard. Friendly staff, neat design elements. The area right around the hotel felt very safe, away from the main tourist drag. Some great shops and restaurants a few blocks east on Franklin (more of a local vibe rather than the tourist traps on Hollywood Blvd), and a big Gelson's supermarket. Ideal location if you're into records: stop by Counterpoint Books and Records a few blocks east on Franklin, and Amoeba Music just down the hill.

Cons:

The diner off the hotel lobby is very expensive; there is better value for money east on Franklin. The room didn't have a separate closet; not a problem for me, but it could be if you have a lot of luggage.

Pros:

Il locale adiacente per fare colazione, molto tipico e autentico con personale gentile. Ma per il resto...

Cons:

La pulizia della stanza e delle parti comuni decisamente poco curata. La moquette sul pavimento è insopportabile. La piscina aperta fino a tardi che ci ha disturbato non poco essendo allo stesso piano

It's a bit pricey, but reliable in terms of cleanliness and convenience.
Pros:

I like the cleanliness, and that I get the room I request. (I had to ask the desk when I got there, but they accommodated me. Thank you.)

Cons:

I wish there was room service. (I'd like coffee brought up on the morning from the cafe.)
