We received a warm welcome at this hotel. The free parking is fantastic. Free internet - sit up and take note, 4 and 5 star hotels elsewhere! A huge gold star for this hotel!
As mentioned in previous reviews, the location of this hotel is great for the Hollywood sights. We had a car and really relied on it to get to the other great sights in the area - don't miss the Getty Centre or the Griffith Obsesrvatory, a closer view of the Hollywood sign or the people-watching on Venice beach! We also travelled up the Pacific Coast Highway as far as Oxnard (a fairly short drive to Malibu etc) - I'm not sure how you'd get around easily to these places from this hotel without a car, but then we never tried the public transport!
It certainly is a basic no-frills hotel, but comfortable, and met all of our needs. We had an executive suite with a full kitchen. There was a shop a short walk away for groceries. We were on the ground floor, and had a small private patio area outside. The staff were great, we enjoyed the pool, and the free breakfast was perfect - muffins, bagels, croissants, fruit, cereal and coffee/juice. There is a washer and dryer in the private underground parking area, where a very kind fellow guest gave me his laundry detergent as he was going home (thanks again!)
The only one minor snag to this hotel is not really the hotel's fault - the walls are thin, so if you are unlucky enough to have loud and rowdy neighbours then your sleep may be disturbed. Everybody needs good neighbours! Especially ones that know how to speak instead of shout...!
I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel as a value for money place to stay. Enjoy!
