I was really hesitant about booking this hotel due to the other reviews. It turned out to be a very pleasant stay and I had no problems at all. This hotel is actually two different buildings. There is the old main hotel and the newer (but by no means new) "pool building". I stayied in the newer buidling and found it has been updated and was very clean. The room itself was very nice and decorated in a Hollywood theme. The bathroom was great with a double headed shower in a very large shower stall.
It wasnt in the nicest area but then there are not really a lot of nice areas near Hollywood. I would book this hotel again.

Good hotel, my friend & I stayed here whilst on our road trip, good location, near to the walk of fame/Kodak theatre. We got upgraded because the lift wasn’t working so we had a bigger room, bigger bathroom.
The restaurant attached is very cute, proper American style diner, great breakfast!

We stayed here the last week of March. Our room, on the 4th floor was clean and a nice size room. We did not see any bugs! Bathroom was very big. The restaurant was nice but a bit expensive. (And we saw Sandra Oh in there having breakfast the very first day we were there : ) Very close to the highway and accesible to everything. Only 10-15 minutes from Universal Studios, depending on traffic of course. One complaint I do have is if you get a street side room, be prepared for traffic and people noise 24 hours a day. We had to buy ear plugs after our first night there as we could hear the traffic from the highway (that's how close it is to the highway) all night. Other than that, no complaints. Do rent a car, there is no place to walk to.

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!
