Quirky! That’s my first thought on this brief experience. This property is stuffed into the hillside above Franklin Ave. which was challenging if you are driving at peak Traffic times and trying to turn into the steep uphill entrance but I made It.While there is parking available it does not accommodate high profile vehicles but staff quickly found alternate parking in the front.The guest services person was very welcoming and efficient in my check in. The building itself is quite dated which I don’t mind .The pool area dominates the property with most rooms facing it.My biggest surprise came when entering my room, it was huge. A kitchen , dining room, huge living room, luggage and dressing area , big bathroom with huge tub and a bedroom with two bed and two huge closets. I was blown away and sad I only had one nite to hang out and see what other surprises this property might hold. After all it is the Magic castle Hotel. lol This hotel is not for everyone , not LA sleek and beautiful but if I were going spend some in LA a definite contender.

The room was perfect, the bed was comfortable and the pillows nice and soft. The person who welcomed us was very courteous and carried our bags to our room and would not accept a tip, saying that was his pleasure to help us. Breakfast was just what we needed.

We wanted two bedrooms and two bathrooms as we were staying with our teens. The showers were basically unusable - less water than a public shower. Sleeping with the portable air con machines on (machines that are at least 30 years old) was impossible. Obviously this is a very old motel but expectation is while the paint is peeling and the bedroom doors don’t shut - basic amenities like air con and a shower should absolutely be a given. While staff are very lovely the fact we were paying for bathrooms that really under any normal circumstances are in no way considered habitable. Only stay here if you are fully aware of the state of the bathrooms/aircon.

Staff and location are highlights of the stay. Have appropriate expectations helps. This is an old Los Angeles apartment complex that was turned into a hotel. As such it's older and dated which is also part of it's charm.

pros: the rooms are spacious, which is good for families that have kid's, my children loved that there was an ice cream machine and a coke machine and how nice the staff were, and that there were free snacks. Cons: the floor was a bit dirty and the tables were kinda sticky, and the things are a bit old.
