Welcome to the barrio
So... if service of the front desk alone was the measure, this would have been four stars for me but the hotel's location, in a barrio which reminds me of South Central LA is about as quirky a locale as I have ever seen. To add a few cherries to that fact, an airconditioner which sounds like machine gun fire especially late at night when you are half asleep and a toilet which randomly gurgles loudly, and the Addams family mansion comes to mind in this bizarre overnight experience. Highly recommend unless you have to be in Roscoe Blvd to shop Fords at Galpin or sip beer at Budweiser across the freeway that you avoid my painful mistake and stay at nearby and much nicer Sherman Oaks.
