A beautiful hotel! I loved everything about it. The windows open and have screens for fresh air. The bedding was nice and bed was comfy. The attached restaurant and bar offered delicious food and unique cocktails. Service was attentive and sharp. On the corner you’ll find a sweetshop with coffee and pastries. I took mine back and sat out in the open courtyard of a morning. Totally enjoyed my stay and will return.

Excelente ubicación y servicio. Las camas son muy cómodas y suaves. El espacio es muy reducido y algo incómodo. Es un hotel viejo pero bien conservado.

Parking was a bit difficult and cost $18 per night. The hotel is clearly converted from older days, with a funky small elevator. The hallway was charmingly decorated with old movie star framed portraits and there were beautiful stain glass windows and chandeliers downstairs. The coffee and sweets shop next door was a necessity because there is NO coffee or tea served at the hotel or in the rooms. We had to get dressed and go next door in the morning. Since it closes at 5 pm. No evening hot beverages available. This means I would never stay at this hotel again. I am a serious beginning and end of my day coffee drinker. The coffees and pastries next door were great, by the way!

The hotel is clean, secure, and comfortable. It is a historic buidling with no central AC or heat. The rooms have window units for AC and portable electric heaters. Despite the age, the building is well maintained and very comfortable. Plenty of parking for hotel guest and secure. Really enjoyed the corner cafe for morning coffee and Edmon restaurant has an awesome vibe for late night drinks and munchies. Really enjoyed my stay.

Adorable old-style hotel with a charming lobby and pictures of old Hollywood actors. The bar is accessible through the lobby and has lots of character too. The room is old-fashioned but spacious and very clean, with lots of windows and blackout curtains, as well as a small fridge, which is convenient for fruit, water or other drinks. If you leave the windows open, it can be noisy because of traffic but with the windows closed and the AC on, you can’t hear anything. All in all, it’s a very cute and convenient hotel, within walking distance (2-3 minutes) from Paramount Pictures Studios, not far from Hollywood and very affordable.

This hotel is truly "historic" if that is what you are looking for. Historic in the sense of old furniture, carpet, furniture, dark, musky odor, and outdated designs. You will see black and white photos when you walk down the halls, however it truly doesn't have the fun vintage vibes if that's what you're looking for. It's just a word to indicating how uncomfortable your stay would be. The front desk appear staff half awake every time we saw them and has poor customer service. They never got out for their seat to help you and always staring at their own phones or at the computer. Don't expect warm greetings. There is not even a restroom in the lobby of the hotel and the key cards kept getting de-magnetized. When we first arrived, we were told to use a room a guest just checked-out of, on the second floor. To our surprise, as our first impression, we used a dirty room with towels everywhere just for the toilet. Other than the front desk lobby, the hotel has a dark grungy feeling and paint, carpeting, furniture are maintained with cheap materials. Our first day of checking in we were met with loud constructions at the room across from ours and we asked the front desk if we could change rooms, however they denied us. Also, wifi did not work at all! Please reconsider booking this place because if you're looking for a comfortable stay, this place is not it.
