Hollywood Historic Hotel

Hollywood Historic Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Really cool old school hotel. Rooms are small but nicely maintained. We had a view of the Hollywood sign from our room. Hallways lined with large B&W posters of Movie Stars. Smallest elevator I've ever been in. The restaurant/bar is beautiful Art Deco from the 1920s. Food and drinks were excellent with nice happy hour dishes. The waiter was great."
