United States, April 2024

8.8/10

My stay at the hotel was truly amazing! The rooms felt like a swanky LA studio with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, walk-in shower, separate toilet, and an outside deck overlooking the courtyard. They were spacious and perfect for two bedrooms. The service was top-notch without any of the attitude you sometimes find in trendier hotels. The location was right in the heart of Hollywood, making it super convenient to explore the area. The dining experience was fantastic, especially with the udon soups available. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

Staying at this hotel felt like having my own apartment in downtown Hollywood with a posh vibe and all the amenities one could ask for. The experience was elevated by a nice balcony overlooking the iconic Hollywood Tower records building, offering a huge living space. However, the noise from the inner courtyard, especially on weekends, was a minor drawback that could be bothersome at times.

My stay at the hotel was truly glamorous and colorful. The rooms were beautifully appointed with a good-sized kitchen and dining area, a washer & dryer for convenience, a vinyl record player for entertainment, a cozy living room, a balcony with great views, and plush bed coverings that made me feel like royalty. The shower cubicle was a unique spot where I could have a little party on my own, adding a touch of fun to my stay.
