I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay @ a tasteful and clean place in Hollywood without spending a fortune. The rooms and all the amenities are very clean, new, well-decorated and tasteful and the hostess takes care of everything to the slightest detail. The building is right behind the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Bvd, there are several bars and restaurants and every Hollywood attraction is a 5 to 15 minute walk from the building. There is also a Trader Joes and several Walgreens one block away.
Two minor problems: the first one is that there are two shared bathrooms on each floor and in the morning they were almost always occupied by people taking showers and we couldn't use the WC when we needed to. It would have been better if the showers and the WC were two separate rooms. But they were both impeccably clean so the "bathroom traffic" is a minor problem for me . The other problem is the noise; not coming from bars as other guests said, but from a parking lot next to the building and from the airconditioning, which is old and makes a lot of noise. But hey, it is always noisy in LA and especially in Hollywood and noise is very difficult to avoid in places as big and vibrant as this. Plus, the noise did not prevent us from sleeping anyway. Mary was very kind and thoughtful and gave us earplugs so this problem was sorted out. She also allowed us to leave our luggage inside the building after checking-out so that we could enjoy a few more hours of sightseeing before leaving LA. All in all, my experience was very positive and I am aware of the fact that places as clean and as decent are hard to find in LA. You should definitely give it a try!!!
