“Exceptional and outstanding Service!!!! Home away from Home :-)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Location,location, location. Short walk to all attractions. Room was clean, tidy and spacious. The staff very welcoming, accommodating and friendly, they're overall service was exceptional. Family loved the free snacks and the yummy continental breakfast to start off our day of sightseeing. We also got to go to The Magic Castle Club next door, which we all loved and enjoyed.
We would definitely recommend staying here, very family friendly place and relaxing, just like a home away from home. Thanks to all the staff for making our holiday so enjoyable :-)

“Best Employees in the WORLD!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

I don't know who trained these employees , but they were all nice and helpful. I was very impressed with the service and value of the hotel! You will feel very welcome here! And kids are very welcome too. The location is great if you want to do anything in or near West Hollywood. Please take advantage of the pass to get into the Magic Castle. You will love it! I can't say enough about the helpful staff- they will help you with anything you need! You can just be yourself here and enjoy your trip!

“what a gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

The room was more apartment like than hotel like, with plenty of space, a decent kitchen area and lounge + a lovely main bedroom. Staff were wonderful, both friendly and helpful, probably the best group of front desk staff I have encountered - special mentions to Nick and Gabriela.

“Exceeded all expectations and beyond”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Good points:
The rooms were more apartment like than hotel like. Rooms were spacious and clean.
Very family friendly - plenty of room for cots and for kids to run around.
Staff were exceptionally helpful, personable and friendly...best lot of front desk staffs I have ever came across.
Very short walk to Hollywood Blvd, where it is all happening 1 block away.
FREE buffet breakfast, all you can eat and drink.
My all time favourite FREE mini bar!!! Loved it!!!!
Only bad point was that air-con was abit noisy.
Overall, it was an excellent stay. The true test is that I would recommend it and would stay there again. Best value for money.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from the main street Franklin St.

“Great all round hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

We arrived and straight away thought thismwas going to be great. The staff are flawless. The only critisim i have was our room was one of the 7 smaller rooms and once we seen the other rooms people were staying in we were a bit disapointed. Other rooms are large and have balconys, kitchens etc.

Only other thing is the noise level at night. There are no restrictions on the pool use so at 230am we had people yahooing and carrying on ( being an enclosed hotel you hear everything thats going on ). I would have like there to be maybe a 12am curfew on the pool maybe?

If i come to la again i would stay here for sure. Very clean, very good service, very homely.

Room Tip: Make sure you book a large room with kitchenette and balcony or you will be dissapointed
