Ali, Vancouver, visiting Hollywood Bowl
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.

Great location, nostalgic interior architecture,...
Liked: It is a beautiful, classic hotel. Great location. Paid parking is available. Staff was nice enough from check in to bar service, bag service and check out.Note: this is a party scene pool hotel. EDM/lounge music all day and a crowd that can tend to act/dress more 'adult'. It is also a crowded pool scene...very happening. Cadillac Margaritas were good.All bar/restaurant tabs include 18% service - and staff makes sure that you know that.
Disliked: We were disappointed in our in ability to check in on time. We had hoped for an early check in (and realize this is a requests), but our room was not ready an hour after check in. As a pool side lounge room, checking in at 3PM is a big difference from 4:30. However, staff was accommodating after the initial wait of an hour, they offered a room that was ready, on a different floor and they refunded the difference for the downgrade - and bought us a drink. NICE TOUCH!

Great location in the heart...
Liked: The main thing was the location and the history of the building! Fantastic location in the heart of Hollywood. The room we had was clean, tidy and comfortable no view but, not needed as you stepped out of the building right opposite the Kodak theatre and the Hollywood stars. Our floor was so quiet! The pool area was crazy busy with a DJ not relaxing but, a definite experience to have!
Disliked: Only having one lift for our entire stay was inconvenient as at times we had to go up a few floors to then go to the lobby floor as the lift were often full. Other than that everything else was great.

Nice facilities, but a rip...
Liked: Nice view from the 12th floor, the pool area is very nice with a DJ and bar, good vibes. Inside bar is nice and fancy as well.
Disliked: Check in is at 3, we arrived at 5 and they said there was no rooms available yet... the receptionist went to the back to see if he could figure out something else and came back out with a room that was ready. Then, for the amount of money you spend on the room, you'd think they'd have functioning elevators. Theres only 2 elevators and 1 of them was broken. Took almost 30 minutes waiting in a line to get into the elevator. Parking, park in the parking structure across the street, it's half the price of the hotel. Hotel is a rip off. I've stayed at other hotels near by that are nicer for less money.

Pleasant but disappointed
Liked: The location of this hotel is amazing. Walking distance to everything on Hollywood Blvd that is touristy. The hotel itself is beautiful from what we were able to see but large curtains covered everything and hundreds of workers with boxes and equipment were everywhere preparing for a private event. Rooms were spacious and comfortable.
Disliked: We received a text message the morning of check in stating that the pool, lounge, and other areas of hotel would be closed for the weekend due to a private event. This was upsetting because one of the main decisions to stay there was for the pool to enjoy Saturday and the night swim on Friday. Thankfully we did enjoy the lounge for a bit on Friday (although it had large black curtains covering areas and workers in and out). This event was for a wedding that had obviously been planned very long ago and took up 3/4ths of the hotel (quoting the staff). I feel that the hotel should have been upfront with anyone outside this event who was booking at the time of booking, not on the morning of check in. This affected parking, dining, access to the main entrance of hotel, elevator use (one was only accessible to other guests on Saturday), pool and lounge. That being said, I still believe it was a beautiful hotel and would have loved to enjoy all of it.

Overall, excellent accommodation!! Recommend more...
Liked: Property is beautifully done with an exceptional nod to its historic past. The Shirley Restaurant and 25 Degree Diner at both wonderful! Our only complaint is that the bathroom towel service was inconsistent. We stayed a full week, and the service was great 5 out of the 7 nights, but items were forgotten one night and we received a stained hand towel another night. Such an easy fix: simply inspect the items being replaced to ensure they are not stained and that every item that needs to be replaced is in fact replaced … all housekeeping stuff.
Disliked: Described above.
