Great priced hotel, good value for money, room clean, asked for servicing but never happened. I used laundry facilities which were reasonable. Close to Universal Studios. Surrounding area has many homeless people and rubbish on streets but we had no troubles walking to and from Walk of Fame day and night (10-15mins). Would recommend for those on a budget, it definitely met our needs (family of five - we got 2 x 2 Queen Bed rooms)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This hotel nailed it. Trendy vibes? ✔️ Spotlessly clean? ✔️ Big, roomy rooms? ✔️ From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt cool, modern, and welcoming. Everything was impeccably clean (always a win), and the rooms were surprisingly spacious — plenty of room to relax, unpack, and actually breathe. Stylish without being stuffy, comfortable without being boring. If you love a hotel that feels fresh, fun, and effortlessly cool, this is it. Would absolutely stay here again — no question.

Breakfast is not free, but the Clark Street Diner is great! The hotel is fine, quirky rooms. I woke up a bit startled that a young Marlon Brando was staring at me. The room was clean and spacious, but the shampoo and conditioner bottles in the shower were completely empty. Otherwise, just what we needed for an overnight in the area.
