Booked this hotel and was a little skeptical after reading the reviews. We arrived really late after midnight because we had a flight from Miami. The room we had was GREAT!
It was clean, spacious, the bathroom had a double sink, which is good with 3 people. We had a mini bar, refigerator to store drinks and a view of the Hollywood sign!
It was close to the 101 freeway which was excellent since we went all over Los Angeles. The maids were very friendly, giving us extra toilet paper and towels.
Another plus was the coffee hop downstairs which gets quite crowded late night because not much is open. We ordered from there a few times nd took it to our room.

It's a little away from the attractions, but only a short drive, even cab if you want.

I'd definitely stay here again!

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!!
