Mary's place was great! Her directions for check in were clear and easy to follow. The room was detail orientated (extension cord so outlet was right next to bed), - wi-fi was fast. Our room, bathrooms, kitchen, and entryway were immaculate. You are extremely close to the Walk of Fame, and only about 15 minute walk from TLC Chinese Theatre area. You are in the hub of clubs - so there is thumping music until bar closes - but Mary thoughtfully put out earplugs. There is also an AC unit you can use to just turn on the basic fan for white noise, and I didn't even need the earplugs. Keep in mind that this is in downtown Hollywood. I took my 12 year old daughter with on this trip, and she was completely freaked out by the bums sleeping outside and drunk people wandering around. But it is normal from my experience to feel like you are in the ghetto one second in Hollywood and a few steps away you're in the glamour. The entrance to Mary's is off a darkened alley street - however because the clubs were so active and people were wandering around I didn't feel unsafe walking around the block for food even at night. But wandering around after the nearby parking lots and the clubs close would probably be a little leery if you're not in a bigger group. Parking overnight in the nearby parking lot was $25 - plus I paid an extra $10 so we could just leave our car there until later in the day so we could explore. It was an easy location to walk and see all the touristy spots and then come back to when we were ready to leave.
