    The entire experience was amazing! From the clean room to the super friendly staff, everything was great. We stayed with our kids and family visiting from a foreign country and we all would come back again!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Clean. Great restaurant on site. Very nice people. Sally at Clark's and Iskandar at valet are awesome people. Even the pool looked really clean. Thanks for the nice stay!

    Great place very close walk to Hollywood Blvd and Universal is just a quick 5 minute drive down the 101. Staff were all great and the hotel has great history. Well maintained place with very clean pool and spacious room. Clark diner below is definitely a great place to eat. Highly recommend to anyone going to LA. Note though that you should just pay for the valet parking as there is no parking on site and street parking is nonexistent as this is Hollywood. Valet parking is $38.50USD a day and there is also a resort fee of $10 a day as well. Well worth the extra cost so just pay and forget about it and enjoy your stay!!!!

    This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in in my life, especially for the money, especially for the money. I mean, you could stay at four seasons even at the Ritz it’s not better phenomenal.

    The location was perfect for all of our plans. The cafe that connects to the hotel had great food and friendly service. I would definitely stay here again.

    THE BEST HOTEL. Every trip is better than the last. First, I valet with Fred, who adds to the concierge, top notch service here. Check-in with Max, who greets my family & myself with the ultimate hospitality. I feel like I’m home. The vintage hotel is amazing and offers certified nostalgia at every turn. The attention to detail in room design, and especially the vintage tile in the bathrooms! The design is luxurious and housekeeping keeps the rooms glistening. I’ve stayed in a dozen or so different rooms and they have all been equally vibrant and memorable. Don’t miss the red carpeted stairwells that span four floors and display the ultimate Hollywood tribute. This hotel is my absolute favorite. My daughter loves it & my Mom can’t stop singing its praises to all (this was her 1st stay). Thank you for making each visit better than the last!
