Overall, this hotel wasn't that bad for me but I can definitely believe the reviews that think it was. I was extremely unhappy to arrive at 1:30 p.m. and find that I had no parking as the lot was full. They advertise as having parking. To me, that means that you have a spot for EVERY room in your hotel. I was instructed to park in a garage a block away. This was very scary as Hollywood Boulevard was a very seedy area with many scary people lurking about. What made it worse was that we had to leave at 4 a.m. to drive back to San Diego to fly home which meant that I had to walk in the pitch black to go get the car. I was scared to death as I walked by people sitting outside at that time at the seedy hotel next door and homeless people on the street. I feel very lucky to be alive and with all of my money. As far as the room, it wasn't the cleanest but passable. the most basic room I have ever seen, though. Not one thing hung on the walls and like others have said, NO CLOCK. This made me very uncomfortable to rely on a wake up call for our 4 a.m. wake up. We set our cell phones but had never done that before so I was scared to rely on that also. We should have been alarmed that the check in desk is behind what looks like bullet proof glass. I so wish we had stayed in a nicer area and just driven to Hollywood Boulevard to see the sites since I had to pay for a parking garage anyways.
