We loved everything about Mama's. The room was adorable and fun, the meals were excellent, the wait staff was so friendly and sincere and the rooftop patio was the icing on the cake. We will always stay there from now on when we visit LA.

It's a very popular bar so was a bit noisy and while normally it is easy to get a drink at a hotel bar this one was packed at points making it hard to get a beer.
It's a cool place in a good location. Having a busy bar is great if your looking for a place to meet some people. Staff were excellent and food was tasty.

“Mama hates you”

Mama‘s service staff seems to hate it‘s guests. In case you like to be ordered around by extremely dumb and cocky staff members, this is your place. Otherwise, you can pay for each single tea for breakfast, are not allowed to sit where you like although it‘s completely empty and you are the single (!!) guest, and despite a „hipster attitude“ don’t expect to be allowed to carry your backpack around as you like, the line must be drawn at the constipated-in-the-brain service staff. Have fun here, we are happy to never come back!
Actually nothing :(

Breakfast at the hotel has gone downhill since I last stayed here - it used to be very good value and excellent variety, but I wouldn't recommend it now. There are much better places to eat in the neighbourhood. Rooms can be a little noisy.
Location is great and the beds are so comfortable! Rooftop bar is a great place to relax and wait for an evening flight.

As a stay in customer you get theoretical priority access to the roof top except that it does not apply before noon. I was not allowed to sit quietly on the rooftop reading my book, not consuming anything while staff was preparing the bar. Outrageous. Unacceptable. I went to see the manager who could not do anything about it. Appalling. Expensive breakfast. You cannot charge to the room the breakfast or the bar consumptions. Why not ? It is probably outsourced to other companies. Very annoying
location, decoration, super comfortable bed, view on the Hollywood panel.

“Hotel is great, neighborhood (and possibly the city) needs work”

Windows don't open. The immediate street seems ok, and maybe one block away is trendy but beyond that is Hollywood Boulevard and a constant smell of pee and weed. I know this isn't so much a fault of the hotel as it is the city, but I wouldn't want to walk back from the Metro.
Extremely helpful and friendly staff in all roles, and an excellent in-house restaurant that is worth visiting even if you don't stay here. The HVAC (Heat Ventilation and AC) was excellent - got to set temperature with no fuss, and barely a whisper (thank you Mitsubishi Electric)
