We really enjoyed the hotel. The Hollywood memorabilia was fun for sure. We loved the "secret" room. Our only complaint was that the restaurant service was exceptionally slow.

The room was clean. The room was smaller than expected with the bathroom having very little room outside ofnthe shower area.

Cool, old school hotel. Don’t expect it to be full of modern amenities, as it is a vintage building. Full of old western and golden age Hollywood charm. Staff was friendly.

So charming and romantic!!

The room was very clean and so cute and romantic! The AC could’ve been better but it’s older property with tons of charm and the room did have a ceiling fan that worked really well to cool it down in there. We will definitely stay again when we’re in the area!
