Good Accomodation
Stayed in March 2012. It was a nice hotel and quite on an evening. The only thing that was a problem was that you needed to pay $15 for parking per day and if you wanted a fridge in the room they wanted another $10 per day. I wasn't keen on where the safes were, they were in a seperate room near reception. There was a shuttle that ran to Univeral Studios which was free. 
The staff at reception and in the gift shop were very helpful. One of the days during my stay it was raining and the lady in the gift shop gave me an address to a mall down the road that was undercover and free to park. 
I would think twice before hiring a car as parking in the hotel and at muesums etc was very exspenive, went to the farmers market and the maximum for parking there was $25 but you can park for 2 hours free with a validated ticket, which you had to purchase something from shops to get your ticket validated, so it wasn't free. Be aware that you need quarters to park at the side of roads around Hollywood Blvd, so ensure that you have plenty as my friend went into the shop on the corner for quarters and gave the man $5 and it was willing to give $2 for the $5. 
I have moved from the hotel, now back. The pool was great and there was a jacuzzi that was great as well, it was just a shame that I only had 1 day that I could sit around the pool and go in the pool to enjoy. Rooms where clean and tidy and was very greatful for the heater in the room to warm up. The bathroom was also clean. Beds were very soft, but comfortable. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel. Breakfast and most of the meals there were very expensive for what you get, but the staff were very friendly. 
Great place to stay and staff helpful.
