Hollywood Los Angeles|10.47km from city center
This hotel boasts an excellent location in the Hollywood area. The first floor has a more youthful vibe.
1. The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Exiting from the M floor leads directly to a commercial area with plenty of options for dining, entertainment, and shopping. Nearby attractions are all within 200 meters. The hotel doesn't provide complimentary water, so remember to grab some from the large supermarket nearby. McDonald's is just across the street, and a 7-Eleven is also directly opposite.
2. The views are absolutely stunning! We initially stayed on the 20th floor and had a great view of the Hollywood Hills and the iconic sign. We later upgraded our room, and while we no longer saw the logo, the 270-degree city view was equally spectacular.
3. There's a small cafe on the hotel's first floor where we had breakfast. It was very convenient, clean, and reasonably priced.
4. Getting to the Getty Center by taxi from here takes about 35 minutes, typically without traffic.
5. Hotels in Los Angeles all charge a 'destination fee.' This has to be paid on-site and feels a bit like a 'mandatory expense.' I've seen many people complain about it. The perks offered are pretty lackluster, and I didn't use any of them. However, this isn't specific to this hotel; it's a city-wide charge in LA.
6. Regarding the staff, the bellhops seemed a bit unmotivated, and room cleaning was just average. However, the rest of the staff were quite professional.
7. The hotel pool was undergoing maintenance during our visit.
Overall, the location is great, it's quiet despite being central, offers good value for money, and feels safe.
