I thought it was gonna be cute but run down. It’s was definitely not! They’ve done a great job keeping old Hollywood charm but not keeping old Hollywood roaches. Great staff and the rooms are very large. Lots of space and all the pictures and decor were so fun. Almost felt like a free Hollywood museum

Nice pool but not always heated. You will need to visit the main floor and ask for towels everytime you swim or shower. No cleaning services unless asked and can only be done once per 4 day stay. Staff very proffessional. Fairly clean hotel. No bugs noted. Carpets in room not the cleanest and did find dark curly hair throughout unit. Does have laundry but only one washer and dryer. Walkable to walk of fame and dining. High traffic area makes it difficult for ubers and noise at night. Air conditioning nice. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner as the hotels is really bad. Very nice hotel for the price overall.

Pros : Large rooms , comfy beds, great location , diner on site is sensational Cons : stuffy smell in rooms , shower pressure Most reception staff seems unskilled and unwilling to help ( enquired about late check out willing to pay but “ we don’t do that” , then enquired about paying for the extra night but told to book online myself … as a hotel manager myself , this is insane to tell customer to book through a third party website whom you ll have to give 20%+ commission

The rooms are nice. They are normal hotel rooms, decorated with wallpaper to elicit an old Hollywood aesthetic. For this trip, we were in the older section that surrounds the pool. It is very similar to the Beverly Laurel hotel on Beverly Blvd. We've also stayed in the what I guess is the newer section, which borders Franklin Blvd. The older section tends to be quieter since it's away from Franklin.
