It was easy to get around Hollywood walk of fame. Plenty of food and drinks near by. Loved the vibe on the rooftop bar. Staff was so incredibly kind and helpful especially with holding luggage. Elevator gave out once but there was a back up elevator

Food & hotel service along with valet was awesome :) Thank you. The only downside were the restroom…the water pressure is very low when you take a shower & adjusting the water from cold to warm takes some time, overall great experience.

This was a fun place to stay, with a rooftop bar! If you're an early sleeper, the music might bother you, but as a heavy sleeper, I was fine! There's also valet parking at the hotel, which was a little expensive per night, but that's L.A..

Not a great location

A small hotel with a good small cafe/ restaurant. The neighbourhood was not for the faint hearted with a couple of rough streets nearby. Not a location I would want to return to.
