This was our second time at The Adler. We had a larger room this time. Very spacious and comfortable. Huge, nice bathroom, except sink fixtures were a bit janky. And water can be scalding. I LOVE the pool and pool area. Also love the onsite dinner- delicious breakfast all day, and the pastries! Only real negative is they now 'require' valet parking. There is a lot/garage right there, and it's ridiculous to pay extra for valet. I tried to find street parking at night, but no luck.

Good location, nicely decorated with modern rooms. Easy check in process. Disappointing that rooms aren’t routinely cleaned so room never cleaned our whole stay, you have to request fresh towels etc. which I think is poor for the money charged for the room per night. Room extremely stuffy, cannot open a window and air con very noisy. But of an unpleasant smell in the corridors like cabbages.

This hotel was lovely and fun. Love the history and all the film/celebrity memorabilia. Lots of bad reviews out there about the front desk/customer service but everyone was very kind, especially the older man with glasses. Room was nice and big. We were there for one night for an event at the Hollywood bowl, easy uber there and we walked back. Diner attached was great for breakfast.

Hotel Valet

I stayed 4 days. When i checkedbin they charge a $38 parking fee per day, which we did not know before hand. This is a mandatory charge and can only park with valet. We also have a roof luggage rack on top of our car. The first valet knew it wouldnt fit in the parking garage and paked in the front lot. The second valet didnt pay attention to this and tried to drive the car into the parking garage, destroying of luggage rack. Manager for valet said he will give us $80 cause thats how much it cost on line. The car rack is no longer in production. The hotel manager was able to waive the parking fee and 2 nights comped for inconvenience. Over stay was ok, staff was rude but the rooms and pool clean.

Overall, a decent hotel within walking distance (about a mile) to the Hollywood Stars, etc. staff was friendly, the room was a typical room - no complaints other than the loud traffic outside our window, and the decor around the hallways was fun! I have no plans of returning to LA but would consider staying here again if I ever do! Oh, and the food at Clark Diner was yummm-o!!
