The hotel is great fun, but the room itself sucked. Try to request a newly renovated room upon booking.

Liked: Great staff (shout out to Antoine at Public Bar); good music at pool; nice lobby; late checkout 12:30.
Disliked: Room lighting is terrible; room had a weird smell; awful picture above bed of a junked out rocker type; very expensive room service; thin walls.

Liked: Location! My room looked right out at Hollywood Boulevard!
Disliked: My next door neighbor's 6:30am conference call.... On speakerphone....... The walls are thin.

Liked: The history, the bar areas, the rooms, the location
Disliked: I find it troubling that the hotel would close such great areas to the hotel guests for private parties at all times during the weekend. I understand they are trying to make money, but its ashamed to shut down the entire pool bar/area and garden for event

Liked: The hotel is in the best location! It's within walking distance from the Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theatre, wax museum, shops, restaurants, and the Walk of Fame. We could also see the Hollywood sign outside of our window. The staff were friendly too.

Liked: Good location since it happens to be on Hollywood Blvd by all the stars so at night time you can go ahead and walk down the road. Pool is great, love the bar, and great restaurant.
Disliked: PRICE! the total price including reservation taxes, and overnight parking came out to be $100 more than what I originally quoted. TINY! the room was way smaller than what I thought. Me and my gf couldn't walk past each other and we are not big people!

Liked: Amazing location and character! We felt history, luxury and the exciting vibe of being in the heart of Hollywood all at the same time! We could not have picked a better Hollywood location. The pool and poolside cafe were awesome!

Liked: Loved the decor And atmosphere. Front desk was very nice.
Disliked: Wanted to eat at restaurant near pool and couldn't because of private party. A few flies in shower. $50 a night for parking is ridiculous for hotel guest especially since no one told us in advance about the charge. We asked on our own.

The Cabana Suite EVERYTIME! -...

Liked: We were fortunate enough to have been upgraded to the Cabana suites for our Honeymoon. Our room was like an amazing apartment - with it's own outdoor fire pit and day bed overlooking the pool. We enjoyed our stay so much that we'd definitely stay there every time we are in LA!
Disliked: The only minuscule issue I had was that the lighting in the room was far to dim. Brighter lights and I'd give it an 11/10

Honeymoon

Liked: The staff were amazing and the location is awesome!

Cleanest & brightest in LA

Liked: Room was bright. No smell of cigarettes.
Disliked: Breakfast was outrageously expensive (each item a la cart & extra fees for this & that) & I ordered every day as it was delicious, (as was the internet), for the price it could have been included (especially for the entire week stay) a basic breakfast & internet (which they did accommodate me & provide internet when I asked, thanks!!!!) maybe the option of all inclusive...
