    The security deposit is a joke. We had British credit cards so we're informed that the money would take 30 days to return to account- as yet, it still hasn't arrived. Not good enough.

    Great location! Decent pool also.

    A couple of nights there were loud heated conversations on and off in the courtyard that woke me up.

    Don't expect a 4* resort, but a good place for a valueable price.

    You get what you can expect for this rate. And that was more than ok. + Location matters: great place to explore Hollywood and surrounding areas (it took me a 30 min run to Griffith Observatory) + Friendly and helpful staff. + Safe parking for $10 per night + rooms in the back are quieter + WiFi was good

    We had a problem with the shower in our room as the water was flowing all over the toilet/ bathroom floor, unfortunately this was not an easy fix and they didn't have another room available so they couldn't shift us. However the staff were really helpful and did the best they could by making sure we had old towels to put on the floor throughout our stay.

    The room was very spacious and it had a balcony. The staff were really helpful, we arrived super early and even though they didn't have a common toilet/ bathroom space in the property they gave us access to a room under repair so we could freshen up after our overnight bus journey! Also there were some really amazing Thai food places and taco trucks nearby - these were some of the best food we had during our time in California.

    Good size room, Reasonably close to walk of fame if you are happy to walk a fair bit.

    Booked a room with balcony. Wish I had booked ground level. Had to struggle up 4 lots of stairs with heavy luggage. No point with balcony as there is no view, it does overlook their pool. Balcony is basically a shared outdoor pass way that people use to walk to their room, it has chairs if you want to sit there. I wouldn’t call it a balcony for that room. We were not comfortable to sit out there. There is also a door/ gate bangs frequently throughout the day and night. (It is an entrance for the car park gate I believe). We had an early flight, so we got to Hollywood in the morning. I sent an email before we left Australia asking if I could store our luggage when we get there as we have an early flight. When we arrived the man said check in is not until 3pm. I told him our story. He then charged us an extra $28US for us to put bags in our room. We had no choice we had to pay extra. Also there are a lot of homeless people in the area and a lot of rubbish on the streets.

    Room was a good size, very spacious, bed comfortable, nice shower. Security gate at entrance. Can walk to attractions (past homeless people). If you don’t like to walk perhaps use public transport.

    Great value for a weekend stay 😊

    The room itself was a bit dirty. Feels like it was given a once over by housekeeping and it wasn’t throughly cleaned. The remote, phone, and light switches in the room had sticky gunk on them so I had to clean/disinfect them before use. Floors made your socks dirty as well. Towels are fairly small and the bedding is thin. Best advice would be to bring mini Lysol wipes and mini Lysol spray to wipe down commonly touched surfaces and bring your own towels/bedding if you want to be more comfortable. This location is in downtown LA so it was noisy and there were many houseless people, but where I come from it’s the same atmosphere so it didn’t bother me.

    Booked this location about a month out and was able to secure a cheap price. Was going to be in LA for a 1-day event and decided to stay for a weekend. This hotel was located less than 5 minutes away from Griffith Park and had many restaurants/coffee shops within walking distance. The Metro was located down the sidewalk for the hotel so this was perfect for people looking to take public transportation around LA. The room was quaint for two people. The water turned hot fast and there were basic toiletries provided. A/C worked and was able to cool the whole room. There is also a hairdryer, microwave, coffeemaker, ironing board, and mini fridge within the room. There is a pool on site and parking was securely located behind a gate at the back of the property and you can come and go as you please. There was plenty of storage for clothes and the wifi worked really fast. The front desk was quick to check in and out and very kind. Overall it was worth the price we paid for the amount of time we stayed at the location.

    The AC/Heating machine is almost more noisy that the traffic outside (and I wasn't facing the street) it is on Hollywood Boulevard but too far to walk to all the sightseeing it is safe tho. They also have a pool which wasn't covered for this time of the year so I hope they're gonna clean it before it will open because like that it doesn't really look clean and sanitized at all.

    A very big room for one person. Clean and comfortable

    We had room #2 and could hear cars driving by, people above us running around, not hotels fault it’s just smaller older building and close to the street if I stayed again probably ask to be near the back and second floor Room also had no full length mirror or much shelves in bathroom (if ur someone who’s needs that when getting ready)

    It was affordable, clean, front desk was so sweet and friendly, easy gated parking just a simple hotel near where we wanted to visit WiFi, tv, microwave, air and fridge worked great!

    I wish there was more shelving in the bathroom, for makeup bags etc.

    This is a gem! An oasis in the heart of Hollywood, it feels very classic kitschy LA. It’s not luxury, but it’s great value for the price. It feels safe with secure parking. The building is older, so the walls are thick and it’s quiet in the rooms.
