Loud and outdated, don’t recommend!

Disliked: Road noise, loud air conditioner, staff wouldn’t let me check in 6 minutes before 3pm

Clean yet small but steeped...

Liked: we loved the history of the place. location was great too. and you can see the Hollywood sign from the window if you’re situation on the front of the building. This was a true Hollywood experience.
Disliked: Room was slightly small and we got charged a lot for an early check in.

Good location for Paramount but...

Liked: Free parking and the hotel is on Melrose Avenue a 10 minute walk from Paramount Pictures studios. Traditional styling and friendly staff.
Disliked: First time staying in Los Angeles and the hotel felt isolated in a location which didn't feel safe to walk around.

Very good

Liked: Nice presentation. The restaurant/bar was plus. Food was awesome

great Hollywood location

Liked: great location good price! loved the restaurant attached.
Disliked: no complaints

short stay in LA

Liked: we were happy with location, room full equipped with iron, hairdryer, clean and with the view to Hollywood sign.
Disliked: The smell in the lobby and all corridors was terrible.. I needed to get use to it. it smells very strange. Also have in mind if you have view to Hollywood sign your room will be next to very busy noisy street. Men receptionist was not very friendly on our arrival.

Nice older hotel with character...

Liked: Great location. Loved that there was a restaurant and bar attached to the hotel. Friendly, helpful staff.
Disliked: No coffee!! No machine or service. Had to go to the next door coffee shop/bakery for coffee and one morning they didn’t even have coffee. Need 2 chairs in the room. 1 is not enough for 2 people.

Good

Pleasa and memorable stay

Liked: It was a cool old hotel that provided my wife and me a clean, quiet and comfortable room for a reasonable price. We chose to park our car in the hotel lot for $18 because parking on the streets was tight. A short walk down the street was the Italian restaurant Osteria del Buca, which we recommend for a casual and fun dinner. We had coffee at the Sweet Corner adjacent to the hotel, not bad but not something we would repeat should we stay at the hotel again.
Disliked: The area around the hotel was quite uninspiring. My wife and I did an after dinner walk around Paramount Studios to walk off our pizza and check out Paramount. It was a surprisingly long walk because of the size of the studios. Nothing unpleasant occurred, but the appearance of many of the buildings across the street from the studios left me feeling nervous at times. i wouldn’t recommend that walk.
