Great location and decent accomodation
We went on a road trip to LA for the first time ever, and up through the PCH on the way home. Given it was LA we did not have high expectations for anything to be that cool about the Southland. We mostly came to see world class art. And the art did not disappoint. Both Getty museums, the LACMA, MOCA, the Annenberg Space for Photography, lots of galleries, were very good. 
We chose this hotel because of the price and location right in Hollywood, near subway lines and express bus service. We had a room with a full kitchen which saved us some money by cooking in the room. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable and the front desk staff were nice and very helpful. A high number of foreign tourists were staying there. The hotel is just down from a tunnel that takes you to the Highland Mall and the Kodak theater, where they were preparing for the Oscars that week. I have a discarded piece of the red carpet while they laying it out, the guy threw it in the air and it landed on my feet. 
My only problem with the hotel - and this is a big one - the shower head was clogged. This is a basic amenity and should work and be tested before renting the room to guests. The first morning of our stay, I told the front desk, who promised it would be repaired. However this did not happen, so we had to get showers in the exercise room until day 4 when they locked the doors. They finally had someone fix the shower in our room, so the last morning or a 5 day stay, we had a decent shower. Everything else was fine, but if you book a room ask to see it first and check the lights, bedding, toilet and shower before you accept it.
