Loved this place. I was a little wary when I first got there, however the staff, the cold drink and a snack while waited for my room helped a lot. Yes it is very dated. I reminded me of the 1950s. Once I got into my room I was pleasantly surprised. It was nicely furnished and exceptionally clean. Some of the upgrades needed upgrading again. The new finish on the old tub was pealing and some water stains were showing through the paint job. Hollywood leaves much to be desired things have changed a lot since I was there over 20 years ago. the staff is the best thing about the castle, they do everything they can to make your stay pleasant. Don't miss the great cucumber water in the lobby. I have never tasted anything so refreshing.
