Stayed 2 nights over Thanksgiving. Front desk check in was easy and got early arrival check in. Upgraded to King suite. Staff was helpful and very pleasant. Room was good. Bed comfortable. No noise issue. Bathroom appeared to have been recently renovated. Plenty of hot water for shower but pressure was low which may have been due to water use limiter in shower head. Room was clean. Overall was satisfied with the stay.

This is a good location for Hollywood and Hollywood Hills. Despite being on a busy street, the room was fairly quiet. The room was large and very comfortable. They do not clean daily- only if you request it- just an FYI. There is a diner on site that is very popular and the food was good.

The hotel was cute, nice colors and a funky design. Definitely could have been cleaned with a bit more effort, but it wasn’t disgusting. We were bummed that the massive TV had horrible quality, and did not have any of the things being advertised on the television itself. We asked the front desk man if we could use the LG remote so we could airplay, as advertised on the TV, and he said he had no idea what we were talking about.
