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.

Loved this place. Close to lots of cute shops and restaurants. Excellent lounge and diner in house. Quaint quiet pool area, staff super friendly. Love all the Hollywood memorabilia. I'd 100% stay here again. Only thing I'd say it needs is a set of weights in the fitness center and a water machine in there.
