The location is incredible! You can feel the energy of Hollywood all around you. Even better than the location is Mary's level of service. Unexpectedly, we had to stay a second night, so we used AirBNB to book another room with Mary (the room we were in was already reserved for the next night). Mary graciously took care of moving our luggage from the first room to the second, as we had an early appointment and had no place for our luggage until check-in time.
As other reviews already point out, this is Hollywood. It's a party town and there's nightlife all around, so yes the streets and alleys can be loud. But the rooms have complimentary earplugs, and we got a great night's sleep.
Mary went out of her way to accommodate our changing itinerary when most others could have easily told us "tough luck!"
