i loved the convenience of this stay! it did feel slightly run down from the outside but the inside was very cute! i will say, they gave me an accessibility room that wasn’t actually very accessible, good thing i didn’t need it but three minutes from the walk of fame, 5 minutes to buses and trains in both directions
