What have really compensated to giving this hotel a 3 stars rating is their great super friendly customer service, cleanliness, as well as, the distance from the Chinese theater Hollywood walk of fame, and the Hollywood mall. I also like that they have a small dining area and make up area in the room. Beds aren't as comfortable but it's old so don't expect much. Not much eco friendly since they use plastic cups, styrofoam bowls and cups for serving breakfast. If you have problems going up the stairs, make sure to book a room on the 1st floor. They do not have an elevator. Since it's an old vintage hotel, don't expect too much from it. It's old to the point that they were having problems with electricity. Their circuit breaker tripped and it took 4 hours before they were able to figure out and fix the problem, it tripped again in the evening but they fixed it immediately. The parking lot is very compact and quite hard to get in because of the very small space. As you exit the parking area, you have to be very careful since it's a busy street. Going into the lot, its best to go around instead of trying to make a left turn from Franklin to go inside the parking. As we were walking on Franklin towards La Brea, I noticed that some parts of the neighborhood is a little sketchy.
