8/10 Good
"Cute hotel seemingly with a lot of historic charm. Decent location on Melrose. A great pastry & coffee shop right on the corner, but the name escapes me. And one block away from a fantastic Italian Osteria, Osteria La Buca-Melrose. Pretty good Colombian restaurant across the way, too. A couple of markets nearby. Centrally located in the Hollywood area. Overall a good & comfortable stay. Room was clean. Could the neighborhood be a bit more bustling? Perhaps. But it wasn’t dead either and you can walk to a number of things. Could the hotel use some TLC? Probably. But, it’s by no means run down or neglected. It’s in adequate condition and for the price & location, it’s a good stay. And I would stay again. Excellent customer service, too. I had to check out one night early to get home to my dog and the front desk staff refunded me for the one night which I thought was unexpected and a demonstration of great customer service. I didn’t get to make it to the hotel’s bar & restaurant, the Edmon, but it is highly rated. Next time!"
