Everyone here was so kind! The beds and TVs are huge and the air conditioner worked really well. It was a 25 min walk to the Hollywood Bowl! There is a diner inside with fantastic food and staff I went to every morning! A convenience store is next to the property that we got snacks and water from!

Well decorated. Neat little property, but the room has the mildew smell of most older buildings in CA. There are no room darkening curtains, about 20 gnats in the bathroom, paid parking tacked on (though they were kind enough to let us keep our car there while we saw our show), and it was not as clean as I prefer. To be fair, I've stayed in worse that cost more.

This was our second time at The Adler. We had a larger room this time. Very spacious and comfortable. Huge, nice bathroom, except sink fixtures were a bit janky. And water can be scalding. I LOVE the pool and pool area. Also love the onsite dinner- delicious breakfast all day, and the pastries! Only real negative is they now 'require' valet parking. There is a lot/garage right there, and it's ridiculous to pay extra for valet. I tried to find street parking at night, but no luck.

Good location, nicely decorated with modern rooms. Easy check in process. Disappointing that rooms aren’t routinely cleaned so room never cleaned our whole stay, you have to request fresh towels etc. which I think is poor for the money charged for the room per night. Room extremely stuffy, cannot open a window and air con very noisy. But of an unpleasant smell in the corridors like cabbages.
