Lively neighborhood. This was a nice, clean place to sleep amidst it all. You will be 1/2 block away from Hollywood Blvd, so the location is incredible for the price. You don't have a private bathroom, but that was never an issue for us. Mary had great directions for how to get in and offered great advice for cheapest parking in the area. We were in town for a concert at the Hollywood Bowl, which was only 1.1 miles away. We decided to drive because it was our first time and didn't know the area that well, but if we ever do it again we would totally walk and not pay $23 for parking. If you are on a budget and need a place on/near Hollywood Blvd, this is the place to go! Thanks Mary.
