This property is unique in that its right next to the Magic Castle. It is an older property so if you are strictly 5 star hotel person it might not be a satisfying experience but for my trip up to see a band it worked great! Staff was friendly and nice and parking was convenient which can be a hassle in that area.

Our stay at the Magic Castle was perfect. We were greeted with incredibly friendly staff and champagne upon arrival. They asked about our plans, which included a show at the Hollywood Bowl and they informed us that we could walk to it. Such a great tip as we were prepared to take the shuttle. It saved us so much hassle. The room was clean and spacious. Property is walkable to many restaurants, bars and sites. Would definitely recommend and stay again in the future!

Best hotel in America!
This is just the best hotel in America! Seriously... Yes the decor is tired and it needs a refurb and a paint-job, but it really doesn't matter as the customer service is second to none. The kids smiles widened hearing of all the complementary sweets, ice-cream, soft drinks, popsicles, 24 hour pool, pop-corn and movie nights. I was very happy with the sofa bed and free coffee. It's also in a perfect position in Hollywood for sightseeing. Thanks team. Best customer experience ever!

Great hotel in the heart of everything!
We love the staff there! Always such a great experience. Know you are staying in an older hotel that has been renovated, so it’s not the newest place, but the amenities and staff more than make up for that!
