Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a unique experience. The rooms, which felt like a small apartment, were huge and beautifully comfortable despite being located next to the garbage housing. The service provided by the hard-working staff was exceptional, although a few minor repairs were needed. The location in a peaceful and beautiful residential neighborhood was amazing, offering a quiet atmosphere near great shops and restaurants. The dining experience was good but could use some improvement. Overall, a charming and cozy stay with excellent value for money.
The hotel felt like a cozy apartment, clean, and well-equipped with a full kitchen, washer, dryer, living room, and central heat/ac. It was spotless and furnished with everything you'd need, although a bit dark and could use more lights. The service was excellent, offering car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, grocery shopping, laundry, and tours/ticket assistance. The location was in a small and quiet street, close to Melrose for dining and shopping, but a little scary at night. The dining experience included a simple breakfast at a nearby diner. Overall, a great stay but could use some minor improvements.
The hotel offers a mix of pros and cons. The rooms, despite being on the smaller side, are quiet and well-equipped, with a standout option being the one-bedroom, two-story suites. The service is top-notch with just a few minor repairs needed. The location is great for exploring Hollywood, although nighttime surroundings can be intimidating. The dining options are decent, including a pleasant diner experience, and the facilities are adequate.
