    Clean rooms and great staff.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Pool and property were extremely clean. Only PM staff (guy with the glasses) was super helpful as the other 2-3 times I came down in the AM to ask a question or get towels I was growled at like I wasnt the paying guest?

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Decent hotel. If you have a car, i recommend staying in Burbank to save a few bucks. Still, this place had nice rooms with good air conditioning.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room itself had an older Hollywood-style décor, which may appeal to some guests. The bedding was below the quality I expected, and the towels were thin and felt inexpensive. While the stay was acceptable overall, I don't feel the room quality matched my expectations.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Property was OK for a quick stay. Located near some convenience stores but not too many restaurants. For the most part, it was clean bed was comfortable. The bathroom toilet was loud throughout the night. Also wasn’t sure why windows were open, but they were open and you were unable to close them. Have an attached diner for convenient.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I picked the suite room that was supposed to have a view of the Hollywood sign. We could not see it.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great location

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Loved the hotel. Huge bathroom. Not quite sure about the barn doors for the bathroom entrance. Not a lot of privacy when you have to use the toilet. Most comfortable bed. Slept like a rock the 3 nights we were there. Restaurant on property was always packed. House made bread and pastries yummm. Recommend the roasted chicken in caper sauce. Licked the plate clean. Valet driver was very friendly and helpful.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel holds so much nostalgia. We had a great time there. The diner in the hotel was wonderful.

    Good

    Room was very clean. Staff were super friendly and were very helpful when asking for directions

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Staff was great, especially Valet people.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The elevator was slow and smelled like burning wires. The bed was the most uncomfortable thing ever. The carpet, banquette and bench were stained and my first shower was cold. I found out after speaking to maintenance that the hot was cold and the cold was hot.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very good

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I like the decor inside and out. There is a restaurant adjacent to the hotel. It is within walking distance to some local restaurants and a market. To use the gym you must get the front desk personnel to open up the door rather than being able to use your room key.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Es un hotel completo, buena atención y lugares turísticos cerca.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Easy walk to Hollywood blvd. Valet only but unlimited in and out with the parking.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great place to see a show at the UCB and then head to the sunset strip after! 5 min from Griffith, universal and many other places.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nice hotel. Comfy rooms. Good location for universal, WOF and metro to DTLA.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Like the wall papers, room is very clean.
