Scenester, hipster, scenster, senster. That's what this hotel is. It's a shame but it feels like this hotel has given up on being a hotel and is focused on being cool. And the building is cool. The rooms are hip with black and white pictures of David Bowie. Plus, they feel historic, like apartments from the early 19th century, mine had three closets- two of which looked like they were something else at one point. The check in staff was pleasant. But the pool staff was horrible. I sat there for 2 hours without anyone coming up to ask if I wanted anything. Quite honestly I got the feeling I wasn't cool enough, compared to the ironic mullets that were lounging by and ashing in the pool; cool kids who I felt pretty confident were not guests. The location (right on Hollywood Blvd) is good if you want to do the tourist thing. But don't stay here if service is important to you.
