I booked this hotel for our trip to LA. We wanted to experience different accommodation from chain hotels like Marriott. I should say that it was great . and we enjoy our stay. The hotel is old and historical, in each corner of the lobby you may see antique things or decoration. The hotel offers wine tasting each afternoon and you could eat at Cassell's Hamburger, next door restaurant which I really recommend.
LOCATION: 5 min walk to subway and Starbucks. We did not rent a car and we could use subway to get to the most locations we wanted including Hollywood boulevard, Universal Studio, and downtown LA.
ROOM: The room & bathroom was clean but old so if you are looking for a luxury hotel experience this, not the one. It does not have any microwaves.
The only downside was the check-in time. You can not check-in even 10 minutes prior to the check-in time. We arrived at 1:00 PM and we had to wait for exactly 2 hours. All in all highly recommended to those who wanted to experience new things.
