2/10 Poor

This is the worst hotel I have ever booked. Looks really good online until we arrived. The front door was broken. The room reeked of cigarettes and dogs. The walls looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned/washed in months and the kitchen chairs were dirty with cigarette burns. The Manager did move us into a nicer room. However it smelled like a sewer. LAPD showed to another room banging yelling LAPD with guns cocked 10 deep. NEVER will I EVER stay here again. Book at your own risk!!!

The hotel was overall what I expected, but there were some glaring issues. No coffee or breakfast like was listed. No washcloths. And the other guests can be very loud at all hours of the night. However, the staff was attentive and friendly, it’s in a convenient location, and the free parking is amazing.

The building was an architectural beauty, but what they don't tell you is that it's also an SRO. There seems to be a lot of folks staying their involved in a lot of illicit activity.

I travel a lot, I spend a lot of time in hotels and have since the early 90's. I've built and renovated hotels and casinos.I have diamond status with several large chains, but my heart still yearns to properties like this. I stayed here after severing a relationship with a property that I had stayed at for the last 5 years, often twice per month 2-3 days per stay. I like to stay at the same place. I'm looking for my new regular stay in LA, I look at the following: Safety & Surrounding Area Cleanliness & Hygiene Professional, Accommodating & Friendly Staff Amenities -Late Check Out, Business Services, Snacks on Site Ingress/Egress/Parking Value This is a historic hotel. Janis Joplin died here in 1970 when I was 8 months old. Many other stars and musicians stayed here in Hollywood's golden age. First the Pros: 1- Very nice & accommodating Staff. This makes up for a LOT if not all of the shortcomings. 2- This Hotel gave me (as a first time guest, a 2PM Late Check Out) This is

Great location, lobby is beautiful, good rates. That's it for the stuff I liked. This was my third stay at this hotel. I always expect the rooms to be a bit run-down, but this last time was just gross. The room was dirty. The carpets were filthy and lifting up off the floor. The hardware in the bathrooms had been ripped off and left un-repaired. There was a mysterious dark substance splattered on the walls by the bed. The worst was the shower. There was thick, black mold growing everywhere. The only part of the room that seemed remotely clean was, thankfully, the bedding. The rooms are LOUD, especially in the morning. I realize it's a busy part of Hollywood. Traffic sounds are expected. I didn't expect hours of a man singing loudly in the hallway, or loud banging sounds like pipe-work happening all around us at 7am.
