Steven, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a good location for Hollywood and Hollywood Hills. Despite being on a busy street, the room was fairly quiet. The room was large and very comfortable. They do not clean daily- only if you request it- just an FYI. There is a diner on site that is very popular and the food was good.

Nice hotel, clean and close to what we wanted to do
Erendira, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms are nice. They are normal hotel rooms, decorated with wallpaper to elicit an old Hollywood aesthetic. For this trip, we were in the older section that surrounds the pool. It is very similar to the Beverly Laurel hotel on Beverly Blvd. We've also stayed in the what I guess is the newer section, which borders Franklin Blvd. The older section tends to be quieter since it's away from Franklin.
Timothy, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! Front desk, valet and the lounge staff were all so welcoming and friendly and fun! We picked this hotel for the location and it exceeded our expectations. Check in was easy, our room was adorable. Everything was convenient, the diner in the building was beyond excellent, the lounge was perfect and we were walking distance to our event. Really can’t wait to find a reason to come back here!
