Awesome
Checked in a little late and was greeted by very friendly and helpful front desk clerk, check in was fast and easy. Our room was bigger than we expected, very clean and well maintained, one of the nicest bathrooms we have ever had, this room rivaled what we had at some higher end hotels we stayed at, will be bringing my family back here!!!!

One night stay
Stayed one night .I liked that it was clean that's a must for me .the beds and pillows were very comfortable had a little fridge didn't notice a microwave or coffee pot .Front office was open 24 hrs and the man was very friendly. One of my only problems was that we had room facing road which was loud as we could hear cars all night.

Older hotel worked perfect for our trip to Universal Studio and Hollywood Blvd stars walk.
I gave this hotel a 4 star because it suited our needs nicely. It is not a Hilton quality.
We got a good price at Travel Advisor.
This hotel is older, 1960’s vintage, but newly remodeled bathroom and clean and beds were comfortable.
It seemed more expensive that I would normally pay for this quality of hotel, but the Hollywood area can have some scary areas and nicer areas are really expensive.
Owner operated hotel and owner keeps an eye on everything, so you should feel safe here. He is very helpful. The parking lot is enclosed and under the owners eye and free.
We upgrades to room with fridge and small fold down couch. We didn’t need it as bed, but figure room would be a little bigger.

The area is in process of Gentrification. It is called NoHo (North Hollywood), with dozens of shops restaurants, new condo’s and arty places.
Try Sweet Peas. Ribs, Chicken. Every night this small place had a line of 10 people waiting to get in for the food. Sort of rail road car dinner.
My wife and I are 65 years old and did not feel threatened walking the streets at night. (I am in good shape for 65  ya sure )

The hotel is a 15 minute walk to Metro station (underground subway).
We love subways and travel them all over the world when we get a chance.
For us seniors, non-peak times it is 35 centers to travel and getting around is really easy. Prime time is 75 cents, for seniors. (Go to train station in morning commute to get someone to explain the system to you. Although locals will probably help you)
After getting on the Metro, Universal Studios is first stop. Exit the train station and follow signs to free Universal tram. Cheapest parking at Universal is $18 I think.
BTW Universal has gotten almost too wild for me. Rides are 3d crazy fast and jarring, but we went on all of them.
We got 2 day pass for Universal at Costco. Cheaper that 1 day cost if you bought at park.

You can get back on Metro after park closes for another 35 cents and take next exit to Hollywood BLVD. You pop up right in the middle of the street where the stars and on the side walk. And ½ block down from famous Chinese theater when all old stars put their hand prints in cement.
The area is really busy with lots or people, but safe. Lots of new shops and restaurants and fun

Breakfast was adequate. Breads, cereal, yogurt, juice, apple and coffee.

Negatives:
Wi-fi was free, but it would kick me off every 15 minutes or so. I would disconnect and reconnect and everything was fine. My wife’s laptop didn’t have this problem.
after paying hundreds of dollars for 3 nights, they charged 25 cents for ice. The owner should give us 1 token a day for this price.
toilet paper was cheapest I have ever seen and chairs were cheap plastic.
No coffee maker or hair dryer. But coffee in snack area, and I don’t have much hair 
No microwave, but we used on in front office one night.
I also received an email the day I arrive in town saying if I didn’t call, they would give my room away and I would pay for it. Luckily I saw email.
I didn’t think this is necessary. If I don’t show up I pay for it. They shouldn’t try and resale my room.

Family of 3 Stay
My family and I stayed on the 3rd floor for 2 weekday nights. They were nice sized rooms with a large bathroom. The complimentary breakfast was good. They offered bagels, 3 choices of cereal, coffee, oj, bread, and yogurts.

Didn't use the ice machine because it looked unsanitary, plus you had to pay for ice. Quiet neighborhood, with plenty of surrounding choices of eatery. Plus Free parking at the Inn!

Just a few small things that may bother someone during their stay. The TV signal was a little snowy on all channels. Bathroom tissue was thin. The temp control knob on the AC unit was broken. Stuck on fully cold. We had to turn the AC on & off because the room would get ice cold within 5min. Then when turned off, the room would get hot 20min later.

Overall an Average stay. Will most likely stay again in the future. Just hope they fix that AC knob by then.

Long weekend
It was a great hotel, clean and comfortable. The bed was great, you sleep like a baby and the people who work there are respectful and nice. I really like to stay again here. There is so many places to get food, is quite and I like the bathroom is big and nice, I never expected that this hotel is that great, I made my reservation the same day without any problems, and little expensive but worth the money.
