The best I can say about this hotel is that it's fine. It's clean and well appointed, but the fitted sheet doesn't actually reach the end of the mattress so there's six inches of unwashed mattress exposed at the end of the bed. The water in the shower never got hot and there's no shelf anywhere in the shower or bathroom to put your things. The staff were very friendly and polite. The hotel will nickel & dime you for every little thing ($10 for parking, $25 for an extra hour at checkout, fines if you get makeup on the towels) but it's not clear where the extra cash is going since everything is the most basic. The decor is very cute, but it took three hours to get extra towels. So, it's fine.

The hotel was very clean and the staff very helpful. Our water didn’t stay hot and as soon as we reported it, they fixed it straight away. The heating worked well. The only problem was there was so sound proofing between rooms so you could hear the people above us stopping around at all hours of the night. It’s located close to transport and the Hollywood walk of fame so very convenient. There was a lot of homeless outside, which was intimidating but that’s nothing to do with the hotel. Hollywood blvd is so loud and sirens kept us awake every night, but a great stay overall.

Room tip: Bring earbuds or something similar if you struggle with noise. If possible, ask for a room on the second level to avoid the noise above.

Location matters: great place to explore Hollywood and surrounding areas. Friendly and helpful staff, safe parking spot for $10 per night, rooms backwards are pretty quiet.
Rooms are also clean and well equiped.
Looking forward to return!

Great little hotel in a very central location... so close to great food and shops.. easy to walk down to the walk of fame. The room was spacious and clean. I had a great view of the pool at the front and the Griffith observatory at the back. The little kitchenette was great. Bed comfortable. Kimberley was extremely helpful and friendly... very nice to meet you and have a chat about Madonna!! Will definitely stay again.

The motel is located in the busy downtown neighborhood of Hollywood. Very close to plenty of stores and it has a pool and some rooms have balconies. The front desk clerks are super nice and it was easy to get assistance when needed. Parking is free too! You can walk pretty much to stores and the attractions are not too far out. My family and I were able to order food through DoorDash as they do not offer that. I was able to rent a vehicle 20 min away through Turo too. So I will definitely return to this motel. Everything was very convenient for me and although the walls are thin I kind of already expected to hear people at times. Great experience!

Room tip: Take a lot of pics and expect some noise as it is a motel in the heart of Hollywood.
