We stayed at Mary's place only for a night, but would go again if I come to visit LA again. It is a 2 min walk from Walk of Fame and pretty close to other attractions like the Hollywood sign, Griffith observatory etc. I wont say the rooms are large and luxurious, but they suffice all the basic needs. The place is tidy and nicely done. We were a little apprehensive since the bathrooms were shared, but is quite clean. You might have to spend some time looking for a parking space, but then isn't that a common problem in cities like LA! All in all, I would recommend Mary's place to anyone who is looking for a budget stay in LA as a tourist
