I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While it was conveniently located in the heart of Hollywood and the room size was adequate for a good night's sleep, the layout was inconsistent, and the plumbing issues with the sink made basic tasks like brushing teeth a hassle.

While it took a bit long to check in due to a few parties, overall, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Their willingness to accommodate our room change request to the main hotel was greatly appreciated, but there was an unfortunate incident where one staff member was rude to my wife when addressing amenities issues.

The hotel's location is excellent for exploring the Hollywood trails and the strip, all within walking distance. Despite feeling a bit seedy at night, it is close to transportation and various restaurants. Additionally, the proximity to the Metro station and key attractions like the Walk of Fame, Universal City, and peaceful spots such as the road to the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory is a major plus.
