I was skeptical before I arrived. But, there was a lot of character and history at this hotel. The attached diner was very good. The small bar in the hotel felt like a speakeasy. We really enjoyed our stay.

We liked the food at Clark Diner on site but the hours were kind of limited for the days of our stay. The beds were very comfortable with great pillows! Even though there is a lot of traffic we slept well due to the beds.
Very comfortable beds!!
Never used the microwave but it was available. We loaded the fridge.
Cool shower! Rainfall shower head was very nice at the end of a long day.

This is my second time staying here. I love this place. I’ve only had good experiences here. It’s very clean. Well kept the staff is very nice. The rooms are spacious. The beds are comfortable very convenient and close to freeways restaurants bars, etc. etc. I’ll be continuing to frequent this place. I haven’t tried the pool yet from what I hear is the pool is heated and warm. It’s always looked clean to me when I see it. Also, there is a bar downstairs attached to the hotel that is very dark and quaint a big plus.

Very convenient location for our visit to Universal Studios. The hotel is clean. Room had renovated and spacious bathroom. Interesting posters on the walls throughout the hotel. But hotel is just OLD. You can immediately smell that old building scent. The room had very old carpet, maybe if they replaced that one it would have been better. Tiny window. Old A/C which could not cool down the room really well. Overall worked Ok for us to spend a quick night. Would not stay there again. Oh, and I actually forgot that it supposed to offer some VIP perks to us due to Expedia status. None were offered. Based on the pictures, the hotel does have the rooms that looks newer.

Hotel was fairly priced for a decent location. You are not in the heart of the action but a very short drive to any of the main attractions nearby. The room was clean but basic, the lobby area was pretty cool with lots of Hollywood memorabilia and the staff were very friendly especially the daytime valet. If you’re looking to save some money on price from the big chain hotels closer to the attractions but still be close enough to get around the main parts of LA, this is a great option.
