The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood

11 Best Affordable Hotels in Los Angeles for Under $300 a Night | Condé Nast Traveler

"A breezy California-style lobby with floor-to-ceiling retractable glass walls sets the tone here, but the real star is the rooftop, which packs in two bars, a swimming pool, cozy firepits, and even a pooch-friendly policy that makes it a social hub. Inside, rooms play up the area’s glitz and glam with luxe brass finishes, rain showers, and sparkly black marbled surfaces meant to evoke red-carpet camera flashes, while service stays low-key and casual yet knowledgeable enough to steer you away from Hollywood tourist traps toward architectural tours and off-the-beaten-path hikes that locals love." - Paris Wilson
