Los Angeles

The Los Angeles River, such iconic scenes in so many movies, I had to go and explore and see it for myself.

Verdugo Wash is a 9.4-mile-long (15.1 km) tributary of the Los Angeles River, in the Glendale area of Los Angeles County, California.
The stream begins just south of Interstate 210 in the Crescenta Valley. It flows southeast along the eastern edge of the Verdugo Mountains, then south through a pass between those mountains and the San Rafael Hills, and finally west to ultimately join the Los Angeles River just northeast of Griffith Park. Its entire path is located within the city of Glendale. With the exception of the free-flowing stream inside the Verdugo Wash Debris Basin Dam, Verdugo Wash is entirely encased in a concrete flood control channel.

Room was decently sized. Great views if you pick the ones with a view towards Hollywood Hills. Amenities within the room left are slightly under par as they don't provide slippers, water, boiling kettle. TV is not digital so no netflix or spotify.
