Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is the quite run-down. There is way too much noise from the courtyard restaurant up into the rooms until late st night. It was very difficult to sleep. The rooms are stuffy and even worse because we were trying to keep the windows closed to keep the noise out. There is no elevator so it’s difficult and unsafe to move luggage up the rickety wooden stairs. There is no bellman to hepl move luggage.

Comfortable room but no drawers ,only open hanging area and shelf. Nothing to place suitcases on except bed. Others have complained of noise from the dining area but we didn’t experience any problem. Great bedding and towels.

Great boutique hotel in heart of East Hollywood/Los Feliz with great ambiance, dining options nearby and amazing access to Griffith Observatory. Small but well appointed rooms with high end products and finishes. Staff from reception to valet and housekeeping was exceptional - highly recommend.

Liked: Staff & service
We loved the property design and layout. Love the simplicity of the rooms. Only thing is it was loud at night. There was a party of 25 or 30 sitting in a long table right in front of our room. We had to wait until they left at 12:30 and then the staff cleaned up by 1 am we were able to sleep. The staff was very helpful and the girl in the front desk was super accommodating. Afraid this hotel might turn into another party hotel in the area. That would be a shame.
