Pros (+) I loved the photos on the walls of the great Hollywood stars, the beautiful lobby area, the large refrigerator in our room, the complimentary water and coffee.
Cons (-) The bathroom was so small it required thought to maneuver.
Pros (+) Everyone and everything was great. 4 days, 3 nights and not a single dislike. Will definitely stay here again.
Cons (-) This hotel was a disappointment. We had to check out one night earlier than planned. The hotel is still under going major maintenance, the rooms are stuffy and carpets are dirty. It was definitely not worth the money. The existing ratings and reviews are fairly misleading.
Cons (-) I had to pay for parking one car is $10 second car was $25 dollars.
Pros (+) The hotel front desk staff were very respectful and helpful.
Cons (-) room was a bit cool and the little heater in my room didn't work
Pros (+) I had no issues with this hotel and stayed here for a week. However I always adjust my expectations to what I pay for... Of course it's not the Ritz Carlton but everything is very convenient and my room/bathroom was very clean at all times. It is true that there is a little (old) odor when you first enter the room. However this hotel is built in 1927...
