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: Elegance and history.
Disliked: Rooms are too small, no open windows, eerie.

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: The history of the hotel
Disliked: Parking was expensive - $46 for overnight

Liked: View and location
Disliked: Staff, small rooms and everything was extra like wifi.

Liked: Retro feel, location
Disliked: We're unable to use pool because hotel required pool reservations. Many chairs were empty. Never heard of that

Liked: Excellent location and such a beautiful room

Liked: The location is excellent. The room was as expected, clean and comfortable.
Disliked: This hotel doesn't have a concierge. Helping the costumers is part of the front desk activities, and this doesn't work efficiently. After two desk clerks assured us that the rental process was completed, the car never arrived.

A lot of Hollywood history!

Wonderful staff, Great service in...

Liked: The staff was absolutely wonderful, housekeeping was very attentive and kind. The valet parking staff was quick and friendly. The pool area was beautiful. Nice quality sheets, comfortable beds
Disliked: The rooms and bathrooms are small, and the bed frames too big. We all ended up with bruises from the oversized bed frame, that sticks out on knee height. Also, in a room with double beds, I would expect 4 towels - but housekeeping did quickly fix that. Towels were not as soft as expected (perhaps better laundry detergent would fix that?), pool area would run out of towels, around 4-5pm daily.
