Our room was kept clean throughout our entire stay! It is a lot smaller than I had imagined, but the beauty of everything is accurate. The courtyard is absolutely gorgeous both day and night, very relaxing vibe. The entire team/staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. Great stay overall!

Great staff! The room was so small though, there’s not enough room for two people to comfortably stay in the room. The hotel bar was nice.

Los Feliz paradise.
Fantastic hotel. Small but comfortable rooms. Courtyard is an upscale restaurant with great food and pretty reasonable prices. The bar is great. Thankyou Kaitlin for pouring some excellent cocktails. Please be aware that the pool is not a swimming pool which is the only downside I felt. For the money you are paying I did expect a pool. I would stay again though.

The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The room was so nice and the outside dining area was special. I would highly recommend this property for stays near Hollywood and Los Feliz nature trail. We loved our hike to the Observatory, too.

Nice hotel although the neighborhood is not exactly upscale. Rooms are comfortable but on the small side. Evening activities create some noise issues.

Hotel was gorgeous, clean and safe. Received exemplary service from professional staff.
Area around the property rated average because all of Los Angeles is gross.

Great stay. Staff is very kind and helpful. The hotel is close to The Greek theater. Which was perfect for us to get a Lyft to and from the concert. Would stay here again if we are in the area.
