Convenient location to explore Hollywood
Our one bedroom room was quite spacious, clean, with kitchen and eating area. No frills, but nice. And the A/C worked great! The building is set up like a "Melrose Place", an older apartment building surrounding a central pool.
The staff was excellent and provided intuitive instructions to us to travel around LA WITHOUT a vehicle. We got recommendations on taking the metro to Universal Studios, the express bus to LA County Museum/La Brea Tar Pits. And were offered shuttle/taxi options which proved perfect to/from the airport. Better yet, the perks of this place were the free dvd rentals and the 24hour free snack list which my 9 year old son took full advantage of. At one point he and other kids in the pool shouted out to the concierge for snacks. In just a moment, a staff person was at poolside taking requests from the kids for popsicles. Have never witnessed this before!
This is one of those rare hotels that is reasonably priced, maximize a superb location, and you would have never heard of unless there was tripadvisor.
