    We left our luggage on the last day of the trip and the lady who served us was not particularly kind in the way she spoke to us.

    We were greeted warmly on arrival by Mike, who gave us some great tips for what to visit in the area and made sure we were comfortable. The room was clean and what we had expected. There was also another nice guy on reception who helped us fix the TV. There is a great Filipino restaurant called Kuya Lord further up the road that we would HIGHLY recommend - super tasty dishes!

    It doesn't have modern facility and rooms are bit old style but very clean and tidy. It justifies its name. Expect to have a rustic experience.

    The aesthetic is rustic and beautiful. Great to see the maintenance of an old hotel. The staff is great and very helpful, The location is awesome. Just 10 mins from Hollywood. Great deal at this price. It has minimal parking charge and good restaurant and coffee place in 2 min walking distance.

    The staff simply indeferent. When we did check in, not even a smile , plain questions and it looked like we disturbed him. Location is horrible, although people wrote that it is minutes away from every , it is not true. At least 45 min to hollywood and on the way you are traveling through lots of drunks and homeless people. The price is good, but next time I will prefer to pay more in order to have beter location and safer place with normal transportation. The room was with windows towards the loud street.

    The room was big enough and we had a room on the third floor with Hollywood sign view. Otherwise, the view is to the parking. Parking 18$ per day.

    nothing, Give Michael a lifetime contract with a big raise. Greatings from ‘Grace and Wise Raven’.

    The big Boss Michael. Second time at the hotel after 6 years. Still the same guy at the counter to check in. The most funny and friendly welcome ever. Hé remembers all the guests namens and loves to Chat with them. he gives advice on where to go in los angeles. After a welcome like this, your visit cannot be disappointing anymore. the hotel is centrally located with shops nearby.

    The only thing I didnt like was that our shower head broke off when adjusting the direction of water and the drain was clogged.

    Great location. Michael at the front desk arranged a king room for both nights of our stay, and he gave us a room with a great view of Hollywood. He was super nice, professional, and helpful with recommendations. The bar and restaurant was so beautiful and priced fair. It had some of the best cocktails in LA. The bed was very comfortable and the large closet was nice.

    Carpet and furniture a bit worn in spots. Heard neighbor through walls briefly.

    A charming, restored hotel in a beautiful old, central, leafy LA neighborhood, safe and convenient to downtown and Hollywood (within minutes’ drive of attractions, but not walking distance). Bedroom and bathroom were clean, compact, and adequate. Room had water bottles, fridge, closet, iron, toiletries, comfortable mattress and pillows. We stayed on rear side, which was quiet; our friends had a larger, corner room on front side (street/cars) with more windows and view of Hollywood sign. Parking was a reasonable price. Staff was courteous and efficient. On first floor, there’s a cute bakery/cafe and an upscale restaurant. Overall, it’s a great deal! We’re so glad we found this place and will stay here again; our friends (LA native) were equally pleased.

    The shower was not that greatly functioning and I don't know about "the amazing view": well sure we saw part of the Hollywood sign behind the buildings across the street. Also the room was a bit cold and some noise came through the walls from the street outside.

    Everything worked ok. Not much to complain but nothing to praise for either. New bottles of water every day were nice.

    Great, but the unknown $18 parking fee left a bad taste.

    I feel the parking fee was shady and was not mentioned in the original advertisement. Its only until after you book the non-refundable reservation that you are told you will need to fork up nearly $20 for 1 day parking. The advertisement needs to be updated. Also, there was water leaking from somewhere in the restroom. Under the bathtub maybe, not sure. We didn't even use it, but there was a significant puddle.

    Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Our room felt very clean, and the walls felt thick. We could only hear upstairs squeaking, but felt we had good privacy. The A/C kept us cool throughout the night, and it wasn't too noisy because we only used the fan option. All around, it was a pleasant stay.

    The room was lacking in some facilities. Only one bedside table and lamp despite it being a king size room - difficult for us both to read. Only one spare electric socket in far corner of the room. The room was noisy from all night traffic on main road. Staff weren’t very welcoming and friendly. Parking expensive.

    Good sized room and bed. Parking on site. Good location for Hollywood attractions. Restaurant/bar next to hotel that opened at 4pm and coffee shop that opened at 7.30am
