The only negative was getting hit with an extra $50 per night, $40 for parking and $10 service fee. The room was large, bed was very comfortable, very good coffee machine. An added bonus was the restaurant (home made style bread). The hotel also has easy access to the freeway.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Got us an early check in and then upgraded our room for free when it was discovered our AC was not working. The valet parking was also wonderful, the staff very friendly and quick. The diner attached to the restaurant is fantastic (highly recommend the French toast!) The location is also great and central with the Walk of fame being walking distance away and other major sites a quick drive.

Location was convenient. Beautiful clean room and quick friendly employees. I was a little surprised to find the pool was in the adjacent building basically ground level surrounded by rooms. The ice machine was also in that building and was next to a laundry shoot piled with dirty laundry which was a little bit funky. Nothing was a deal breaker, i enjoyed my stay in overall.
