Rooms are kept clean and are quite comfortable, and the location is undeniably advantageous for exploring the city's richer cinematic and cultural tapestry, though you'll need to factor in paid parking.”

Somewhat underwhelming stay.

thin towels street noise

The location proved adequate given my activities.

The tiny bathroom lacked any ventilation, so it was like a swamp the whole time. The provided towels could hardly dry anything. They were so thin. the noise from the street made sleeping difficult. I could hear everything.

Acceptable stay

front desk helpful service bus stop convenient location effective air conditioning arrogant receptionist non-talkative frenchman broken hairdryer

The front desk service was very helpful. Mike offered great recommendations for local attractions. The hotel is near a bus stop. This took me directly to many places. The air conditioning worked WELL. It helped to manage the heat.

The receptionist seemed somewhat arrogant. He was a frenchman and not very talkative. The hairdryer in the bathroom faltered. IT BROKE down quickly, and I reported this but received no immediate help.

Convenient Spot Near Paramount

easy access quick meals studio proximity

The location provided great access to nearby attractions. The walk to Paramount Studios took only ten minutes. The Mexican restaurant offered quick meals because it was on the same street. I would consider staying here again.

The bathroom had a small size.

My room had a clean condition, and the bar downstairs gave easy options for food. Happy hour happens from 4 PM to 7 PM and I liked it. They had a coffee shop.
