We really enjoyed the hotel. The Hollywood memorabilia was fun for sure. We loved the "secret" room. Our only complaint was that the restaurant service was exceptionally slow.

The hotels ambience is terrific but it’s in a very sketchy area. The restaurant is terrific but I had to take a cold shower because there was no hot water.

Cool, old school hotel. Don’t expect it to be full of modern amenities, as it is a vintage building. Full of old western and golden age Hollywood charm. Staff was friendly.

Have stayed here twice before and overall they stay was very nice. However, this time was average at best. Shower water was not warm much less hot. Tepid at best. This was disappointing. Brought it to the attention of the staff at checkout ( only stayed one night). Received a somewhat half hearted apology and not much else. Again a bit disappointing. Hopefully this was just a onetime experience. As said had very good experience during pre previous stays. Would consider giving it one more chance in the future as the hotel as a whole does have character.
