Full of character
We stayed in this hotel because my wife is has a GHA Black membership which entitled us to a double room up-grade. The hotel honoured the upgrade automatically which was good. We enjoyed our 3 nights stay at the hotel. I find the Valet services excellent and the upgraded room very satisfactory. We liked the tasteful deco and good quality bed. There were free ice fruit teas and cookies in the hotel lounge. As a "Select Guests" we were entitled to 2 beverages per person each morning - a definite PLUS! 
We didn't walk the street as we had the car but the Disney Philharmonical Hall is just a few minutes walk away. It was easy enough to drive from the LAX airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the major LA attractions. 
The hotel concierge was very helpful to us especially in organising our LA plane flight experience. They rang us the day before to remind us that it was booked for us. 
Overall: Great room and services. I would recommend this hotel to other however it is just a bit expensive especially without the free room upgrades.
