The staff at this hotel deserve a 5 star rating. They are the best. They can’t do enough for you. From the free snacks, breakfast, and free laundy they can’t do enough for you. Just amazing. The actual room though is less than impressive. The floor is all uneven, the toilet leaks and the shower blocks every time you shower. We could hear every footstep of the people above us which was frustrating while trying to sleep. If you want amazing service with awesome treats stay here. But if you are wanting modern nice rooms this isn’t the place for you.

Aside from the staff and the pool, this place is worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Please do not stay in room 203. The shower faucets leak like crazy and never get hot. The kitchen faucet was barely holding on. The balcony was so dirty I couldn't stay out there. Summary - not fun!

Lovely hotel with character! Not the most modern or fancy, but it has a wonderful charm to it that we really enjoy! Great for families and we love the popsicle hotline and snacks. Great staff- always super friendly! It’s a very convenient location to walk to the Hollywood Bowl or the Grumman Theater.
