8.5Verified guest“We had a great stay with reliable Wi-Fi and round-the-clock security. The diner was fantastic, and the staff even helped me find a lost bracelet. The veggie omelette is a must-try. I'm already planning to return for Christmas.”
8.5Verified guest“Spent three days here and enjoyed it. The hotel was clean, with a great and lovely location in the first tower.”
8.5Verified guest“The location worked well—not deep in the suburbs and not far from the Walk of Fame. Staff were kind, and the rooms had carpeted floors. Breakfast offered a wide selection and we thoroughly enjoyed it.”
8.5Verified guest“The staff were exceptionally nice and consistently courteous. It's conveniently located near a grocery store in the neighbourhood.”
8.5Verified guest“Conveniently placed near the Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Sign, Universal Studios, Griffith Park and Observatory, and the Selma Street Clinic. Our double room was practical and decent-sized, with down and hypo-allergenic pillows.”
8.5Verified guest“Very clean with a big bathroom and comfortable beds. The Hollywood-style decoration was a nice touch. The in-house restaurant was superb. It's a 10-minute walk to the Walk of Fame and 10 minutes by car to Universal and Warner Bros Studios. We'd book again without hesitation.”
