Just a few steps from hollywood walk of fame, metro station nearby (hollywood/vine) convenient if you want to travel around the city. The room and all the common areas were super clean! The area isn't very quiet and there are some noises and music in the night but you're just next to Hollywood Blvd so it's not surprising. We didn't mind, if you do, there are earplugs provided. Also the AC is a bit loud so we turned it off before going to sleep and the temperature was ok the whole night (in February). For grocery shopping we recommend Trader Joe's one block from this place, found it by mistake and it was a treasure.
