    Great location, just a block or two away from Hollywood blvd. Very nice swimming pool.

    We liked the position, the pool, the window in the bathroom, the space in the rooms, which are comfy also for a family with lots of luggage, and the pool! You're meters away from downtown Hollywood (you can see the sign from the roof top!), but...

    Location is excellent and the place is FULL of fun movie memorabilia. While not included in the stay, the diner attached to the property is top notch. Staff was super helpful and nice as can be. Rooms are big.
