Fully expecting smelly rooms and cockroaches from some of the recent reviews, I was pleasantly surprised by my stay. Stayed two nights in mid-feb in a king-sized bedroom. Room was great and you could see the hollywood sign from the window. They even had a little kitchen area with a sink and fridge off in the corner. Bathroom was great and the dual shower heads were amazing.

The only disappointment was the television reception. For some reason there was quite a bit of static and none of the stations were really coming in clean.

There was a diner downstairs which was nice, although it got kind of crowded during the evenings and the really low-lighting annoyed me quite a bit. We had a car rental for the time we were there and parking was super. Location was not too bad (about 15 min walk to downtown hollywood) but I would definitely recommend a car to get around the city.

If I am ever back in LA, I would definitely consider booking this hotel again.

We stayed at this hotel on 23/01/08 for 5 nights. The only reason we didn't check out was that we had prepaid and would have lost the full amount.

When we arrived we were greeted in reception by a cockroach and the staff were just as pleasant!! However it would be fair to say we didn't see any cockroaches in our room.

The reception and corridors smelt like drains and the lift was like a service elevator that had seen better days. We were upgraded!! to a large room on the 4th floor, however the traffic noise 24/7 from the nearby freeway made sleep virtually impossible.

The shower took 5 minutes to warm up and housekeeping left much to be desired leaving bins full after the room had been serviced. The only positive remark we can make is that we had complimentary wireless internet in the room and would recommend you use it to find another hotel if you have been unfortunate enough to have already checked into this one!!

The all american diner downstairs ajoining hotel serves good food and unsurprisingly is not owned by the hotel.

We booked this hotel on hotwire because of the great rate of $100 a night In West Hollywood area. The room was large with a kitchen however the kitchen had cockroaches and both beadspreads and pillow cases had green and brown stains. After we spoke with the front desk they had no idea what to do until the manager came in the next day. Meanwhile construction was going on outside our window at 6 am and the tv didn't work. All the channels were fuzzy but one. To top off our three day stay in LA we never received maid service. We only had three towels and all our our mini trash cans were over flowing. What a dump!!

The hotel was a little creepy outside but the room was huge including a large flat-screen tv, coffee pot, fridge, and microwave. The bathroom was amazing - modern and snazzy with a 2 person granite shower with multiple showerheads. On arrival we found leftover beer in the refrigerator. The 2nd day the coffee packets and cups were not replaced. When we were checking all the drawers before checking out we found someone else's clothes in a drawer. That was about the same time we realized that the wet spot on the closet carpeting was actually from water dripping from the ceiling (somehow missing our clothes) and not from our wet bathing suits like we had thought. The adjoining dinner was convenient but the breakfasts were greasy and awful.
