Loews Hollywood Hotel

Loews Hollywood Hotel

8/10 Good
"Hôtel très bien situé et de bon standing mais vieillissant. Personnel serviable mais trop insistant - pour avoir pourboire alors que déjà frais de service même pour 3 burgers ( pas très bons au passage)de 20%. Frais de ressort - pourquoi? Personne qui passe dans la chambre pour vérifier dans demande? Et salle de bains poussierieuse, moyen propreté de baignoire et vieillote pas rénové . Loyers confortable et taille chambre ok ( nous étions 3). Stationnement centre commerciale pratique."
