Sam's place is neat, the location is fantastic. You are just steps away from Hollywood Blvd and the walk of fame. There is a CVS on the corner which was extremely convenient and a nice little breakfast place called Tiago that I walked to every day of my stay and loved.
Suggestions: bring your own towels and toiletries!! Though they are offered, the towels were not fresh and the toiletries were communal. I would also book only if you're able to arrive at or after the 2 pm check-in time. Otherwise you'll be sitting on the street waiting with your luggage.
Lastly, the unit itself is more run down than I was expecting and smelled intensely of cigarettes which was very disappointing.
Overall, if you're in need an okay place that gets the job done at a cheap price, then this will fine. It just wasn't what I was expecting.
