I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with spacious rooms offering breathtaking views of the Hollywood hills. The service was top-notch, making me feel pampered throughout my visit. The location was excellent, providing the perfect balance of being in Hollywood without the noise hassle. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the delicious options available. A few areas for improvement included the hit-and-miss location and the slightly tired appearance of the surroundings.

The hotel had spotless rooms with a king-sized bed, large Apple television, WiFi access, and a modern updated restroom with an overhead shower head nozzle. While the room kept the radiant California sunshine and heat out effectively, the noise from bottle bins being used all night was a bit disruptive.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were super comfortable with a lovely soft bed, but being located above a busy restaurant and bar meant it was a bit noisy at times. The proximity to the street light on the second level was convenient, and the atmosphere was nice. The service was very helpful and always available, but the constant partying around me was a bit distracting. The location was great for accessing Hollywood and various attractions, making it easy to get around by car. The dining experience was amazing, although more options for those with dietary restrictions would be appreciated.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice, but the noise from the street and building site was bothersome. On the bright side, the restaurant and bar downstairs created a lively atmosphere. The service was a hit or miss-some staff members were lovely, while others seemed indifferent. The location was excellent for exploring the city but didn't feel very safe. Dining options were good, but there was a minor mistake with the set-up. Facilities were decent overall.

The hotel is right in the heart of Hollywood, offering a central location close to the action of East Hollywood but quiet enough to relax. The rooms are comfortable, with the occasional rooftop noise not disrupting my stay too much. However, the loud occupant was a major disturbance during the night.

The rooms were adequate, a little small but comfortable. The rooftop bar noise was noticeable but didn't keep me up at night, except for one extremely loud occupant.
