Overview

The property has an overall guest rating of 3.7 from 763 reviews, reflecting a solid, no-frills stay experience.
Rooms
Rooms are simple and functional, equipped with flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, microwaves and minifridges. Guests note that rooms are generally clean and some are spacious enough to comfortably sleep four, though a few travelers found certain twin-queen rooms smaller than expected.
Dining & Amenities
A free continental-style breakfast is served each morning, typically including waffles, small muffins and coffee. The hotel also provides free Wi-Fi, free parking, and an outdoor pool set around the courtyard, along with coffee available in the lobby.
Location
The hotel sits about a 13-minute walk from the Hollywood Walk of Fame and TCL Chinese Theatre, and roughly 15 minutes on foot from the Hollywood/Highland metro station. It's also within a few kilometers of the Hollywood Bowl, LACMA, La Brea Tar Pits, The Grove, and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, with Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign, and Universal Studios Hollywood a short drive away.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious travelers and families who want walkable access to Hollywood's main attractions without paying for a full-service resort. The free breakfast, outdoor pool, and free parking/Wi-Fi make it practical for road-trippers using it as a basecamp to explore Los Angeles.
Travel tips
Plan to walk to the Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, and the Hollywood Bowl, all within about a 15-20 minute stroll, or use the nearby Hollywood/Highland metro station for farther destinations like LACMA or Griffith Observatory. Because the surrounding Sunset Boulevard neighborhood can feel a bit rough after dark, it's worth arranging rides or staying in well-lit areas at night rather than walking. Note that pool-area maintenance has occasionally started early in the morning, so light sleepers may want to request a room away from the courtyard.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and clean rooms, with several noting the property is a good value base for exploring Los Angeles. The free breakfast is appreciated though described by some as basic, limited to waffles, muffins, and coffee. The outdoor pool is a highlight for families with children. Recurring concerns include the surrounding neighborhood feeling unsafe or 'dodgy' at night due to homelessness, rooms that are occasionally smaller than expected, and at least one report of early-morning noise from staff cleaning the pool area disturbing sleep.
