The inside of that building is truly a trip through a ghostyard of Hollywood's golden age. But not eerie! The building, the details...it's all beautifully preserved. The rooms are generously sized, the plumbing is acceptable, all fixtures and all clean. The pillows could've been bigger, but it was so comfortable there, it didnt matter.
