Comfortable And Interesting But...

Very interesting place to stay, lots of film/actor framed photos and movie artwork in the stairwell. The property seems like two different spots but is nicely renovated and my room had an amazing view of the Hollywood sign. The gym is very lacking, they only had one kettlebell for weights and the cable machine was broken. Also weirdly in the garage and after dark was a little creepy.

Nice but memorable for the wrong reasons

Couple of significant issues. 1. there were trees outside each window in the room that would scrape against the window pane when a breeze would pick up that was like nails on a chalkboard. 2. when I went to call the front desk I noticed there was no phone in the room. OK I thought to myself, just a new thing about modern hotels? Tried to call the front desk from my cell phone and the line just rang and rang. It was 8 o-clock in the evening So for such a nice hotel it was not very peaceful or quiet and it should NEVER be difficult to contact a hotel front desk, let alone impossible

Best Pool!

This hotel is great! The pool is amazing, and the rooms are cozy. My only complaint is that they don't supply bath mats. It's strange to leave these out when there is not even a shower door. They also don't have enough places to hang wet towels, so we ended up using more towels than we would typically use.

Staff were perfectly friendly and prompt. We felt taken care of. Layout of the hotel is very easy to get around. The stairwell was like a museum that was a treat. The Valet, Fred , was a great asset for getting around info. We walked to the Forever Cemetary , which was beautiful. Only trouble we had was a blown fuse when we had a hair dryer and a electric tea kettle ( provided in the room) plugged in and going in the same outlet at the same time. We called and it was remedied immediately. We also called about the tv malfunctioning. They sent a guy to help. But he couldnt figure it out. We messed with it and it started working again. Did not have drinks at the bar but we loved the cafe downstairs. Great food and great service busy but worth the wait awesome bread. Down the street we had great burrgers at For The Win. And there was a convinient market/ liquor store. Also a Detroit Pizza Depot we kept wanting to try all weekend but the place wasnt open. Beautiful area as well. We Ubered right to the Hollywood Bowl within minutes and were able to get back after the show by uber. It does help to walk a few blocks away from the venue to catch an easy ride.
