Perfect for Hollywood fans -...

Liked: The Kimpton Everly is very conveniently located for a Hollywood trip, you can reach the walk of fame by foot in 5 min and the Hollywood sign and Griffith are only a couple of miles away. Lots of good food in the area and the hotel even has a nice cafe to get breakfast. Kimpton typically - good coffee - was free in the mornings as was water in the hallway at the reception. In the afternoons at social hour I had a glass of wine with no charge and the bartender was very nice. There was a Billard table in the main public area and lots of areas to relax and read. Very trendy and stylish! Also the rooms were very nice, spacious and well designed. Beds were super comfy as towels and other amenities. We took Valet parking as we were leaving quite often and - for german perspectives super expensive - with 50 dollars plus - but the guys were super friendly and we did not mind. We were given a room high up in the eleventh floor which was great see below.
Disliked: Please bear in mind that if you pay an uplift to have a room with view to the Hollywood sign, you are also directly above a 6 lane highway. Rooms directed to the city are quieter and the view is nice too. As we were high up. Water at the reception was only one container and it was a lot of times empty. The pool and outside terrace area, which was a selling point for me to book the hotel as it was very nice and warm in the evenings is only open from 8 am to 8 pm. So if you wanted to sit outside in the evenings you could not which was a criticism that we shared with other guests. During daytimes the little pool area was crowded with people and there was not enough shade in the other areas. For Europeans who come and enjoy the warm climate in California these issues are to be mentioned, as it was a real disappointment.
