    Parking. I know it’s Hollywood and but damn- parking could be offered at a slightly higher rate.

    Excellent staff, clean and amenities are provided. There’s a safe and fridge in every room. Beds are incredibly comfortable whereby you just want 30 more minutes and then get up!!!!

    The lack of coffee making facilities was a bit inconvenient, but it just meant we enjoyed the lovely 24 hour doughnut shop more. The air con didn’t really fill the room, but was sufficient for what we needed

    Great location with really comfortable beds. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Beatriz in reception was such a wonderful lady. She was very professional, really helpful and so friendly. The hotel had a great vibe about it and was so clean too

    Had a lovely stay! If I was nitpicking, the only thing I might say is that there wasn’t a microwave in our room. Not a huge deal. Otherwise very happy with hotel, location, amenities. Room was clean and comfy. Would definitely stay there again.

    The room are a little outdated, though it didn’t bother us much. The price is very good.

    Very good location, safe and not to bussy but still central right on the Melrose. Nice restaurant in the hotel, with a outside terrace. Also a breakfast place right outside that has very good croissants and coffee, and its not too expensive.

    Super noisy in room. I could hear traffic all night long. No central a/c just a window unit (which was why it was so noisy..the window essentially needs to be open to accommodate the unit). No shades to pull down which would also have helped absorb some of the noise. I would also say that the gentleman who was working in the evening was very friendly but the woman who was there in the AM seemed really grumpy and unpleasant. My key card stopped working when I went to get breakfast and I was needing to get my bag so I could leave and she snapped "Let me finish with MY GUEST" as if I was not an existing guest at the hotel. That did not sit well with me- it was pretty rude and could have been handled in a more professional manner.

    It was inexpensive & centrally located. Bar attached to hotel looked very nice & got crowded in the early evening.

    Bathroom was a little dated. I'm not sure if I the nets over the windows were needed so the view wasn't perfect but still cool to see the sign from the room. Lighting wasn't great

    Cool art work throughout. Had a view of the Hollywood sign from the 3rd floor. Lovely bar restaurant which was handy as we drove a lot so could drink back at the hotel. They have great cocktails and the Mac and cheese it lovely. The staff were really nice. There is car parking for a fee, which I think is worth it as its not walking distance to anything we wanted to see. There was a lift!

    Even though it’s in a fairly central part of Hollywood, it’s still a long walk (40+ minutes) from all the main attractions. We had to Uber everywhere. The room also faced a busy road and was very noisy. The property itself had a very strong stale citrus cleaning product smell. It was pretty unpleasant as the whole place, even the room, reeked of it.

    Nice historic building with clean room

    There is really odd smell around in the entire building, I would rather categorise it as unpleasant. Staff said it is their air fresheners. It was really difficult to get used to it. It is quite loud as hotel located next to a busy street, walls are quite thin, you can hear your neighbours talking.

    Great location, bottles of water delivered daily. Nice looking old building with parking on site (paid extra)

    The location is good and having the parking spots available at the hotel is perfect if you rent a car. The value charged to park is a good value for money.

    Nice hotel in the heart of Melrose

    The bed light was separated from the bed by the bathroom and changing room entrance, so that when I woke up in the middle of the night I had to walk blindly to find it. It's a small detail but personally I found pretty uncomfortable.

    Perfectly tidy hotel located in the heart of Melrose, the staff is always professional. The room was spacious with plenty of natural light from two sides.

    We left our luggage on the last day of the trip and the lady who served us was not particularly kind in the way she spoke to us.

    We were greeted warmly on arrival by Mike, who gave us some great tips for what to visit in the area and made sure we were comfortable. The room was clean and what we had expected. There was also another nice guy on reception who helped us fix the TV. There is a great Filipino restaurant called Kuya Lord further up the road that we would HIGHLY recommend - super tasty dishes!

    It doesn't have modern facility and rooms are bit old style but very clean and tidy. It justifies its name. Expect to have a rustic experience.

    The aesthetic is rustic and beautiful. Great to see the maintenance of an old hotel. The staff is great and very helpful, The location is awesome. Just 10 mins from Hollywood. Great deal at this price. It has minimal parking charge and good restaurant and coffee place in 2 min walking distance.

    The staff simply indeferent. When we did check in, not even a smile , plain questions and it looked like we disturbed him. Location is horrible, although people wrote that it is minutes away from every , it is not true. At least 45 min to hollywood and on the way you are traveling through lots of drunks and homeless people. The price is good, but next time I will prefer to pay more in order to have beter location and safer place with normal transportation. The room was with windows towards the loud street.

    The room was big enough and we had a room on the third floor with Hollywood sign view. Otherwise, the view is to the parking. Parking 18$ per day.

    The big Boss Michael. Second time at the hotel after 6 years. Still the same guy at the counter to check in. The most funny and friendly welcome ever. Hé remembers all the guests namens and loves to Chat with them. he gives advice on where to go in los angeles. After a welcome like this, your visit cannot be disappointing anymore. the hotel is centrally located with shops nearby.
