We liked the food at Clark Diner on site but the hours were kind of limited for the days of our stay. The beds were very comfortable with great pillows! Even though there is a lot of traffic we slept well due to the beds.
Very comfortable beds!!

Cool shower!  Rainfall shower head was very nice at the end of a long day.

1-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel was fairly priced for a decent location. You are not in the heart of the action but a very short drive to any of the main attractions nearby. The room was clean but basic, the lobby area was pretty cool with lots of Hollywood memorabilia and the staff were very friendly especially the daytime valet. If you’re looking to save some money on price from the big chain hotels closer to the attractions but still be close enough to get around the main parts of LA, this is a great option.
Daniel, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful! Would come back again
Jennifer, 2-night trip

It's a great hotel at an amazing location. Staff is great and helpful with all requests. There's a great diner. The toilet doors don't lock which was an inconvenience
Akshay, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved it! The location was perfect for our needs. The staff was kind and helpful. We enjoyed the cafe attached, and love looking at the collection of celebrity photos and signatures. They had a sewing kit to help us repair my nieces dress before our show at the Pantages. I would stay here again.
