I am always skeptical of negative hotel reviews, and glad I was!
Stayed 2 nights Saturday to Monday for $429, a little higher than I'd like to spend on a hotel, but reasonable given the location. Staff was friendly all around.
PROS:
-Awesome, retro-modern decor in the common areas and room design.
-Pool area is Palm Springs retro chic, lovely!
-Rooms are smaller, but well designed, efficient, and clean.
-Bed was comfy and slept well since we got a quiet room in the back of the hotel away from Sunset Blvd.
-Secure underground parking garage, great for LA! I think it was supposed to be $35/night for parking, but I didn't get charged.
-Central location walking distance to Hollywood Blvd, restaurants, bars. Bossa Nova is delicious and reasonably priced!
CONS:
-Smaller rooms
-Local area is normal for LA, but some out of towners might be a bit fearful of the sight of culture, people of color, lower income folks, stylistic hipsters, and the working class. But if you're anywhere near an In N Out, Starbucks, and Chick Fil A, you know you're in a pretty safe neighborhood overall, like this one.
Will definitely stay here ago someday!
