Pros:

The room was comfortable and loved that the hotel had a bar and restaurant. super convenient after a long day of sightseeing .

Cons:

The hallways / stairs felt outdated and dirty. Also the walls were really thin- we could hear conversations from the room next to ours.

It’s a very pleasant and surprising stay in a retro space.
Pros:

It was cute and kind of funky. It had a lot of whimsy. The attached diner is a gem! It has a retro 70’s Denny’s decor and the house made bread is out of this world.

Cons:

It’s on a busy street. It was difficult to get in and out. There was a lot of street and freeway noise and circling helicopters. Nothing the hotel could really do to prevent that.

Sehr gut für einen Trip in Hollywood
Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut, in einer guter Gegend mit süßen amerikanischen Häusern. Man braucht den überteuerten Parkplatz nicht benutzen da wirklich zu jeder Tageszeit an der Straße etwas frei war (kostenlos).

Cons:

Unser Zimmer hatte einen etwas modrigen Geruch. Sonst alles top

Pros:

Pěkný hotýlek ve filmovém stylu. Čisté pohodlné pokoje. V atriu hotelu příjmený bazén. V dochozí vzdálenosti na chodník slávy. Autem kousek do Hollywood hills, filmových studií i Beverly Hills. Strávili jsme zde dvě noci a lze pouze doporučit.

Great funky place and location was great good to see Hollywood sign from our window
Pros:

Location was fab !

Cons:

No bottle of water in room which I think should be standard and to tidy and clean room daily should be a given you shouldn’t have to ask for that ?!
