Abbot Kinney Boulevard

Be prepared that you will have to pay for parking, $10 per night. The staff were nice, but the floor in our room was dirty that I couldn’t walk on after taking a shower. And the bedding smells of bleaching.

Stayed 1 night front desk was helpful and the place was clean.

Really cool old school Hollywood Hotel! I’ve never been in a hotel where every inch of every hallway and every public space was covered with movie pictures, celebrity autographs, everything - even the elevator - has classic wallpaper pictures from old movies, and a replica of feet-in-cement from the Chinese Theatre down the street. The building is covered with neon, and has a wonderful old school classic diner in the lobby. They serve excellent high-quality food, have their own bakery - where the pastries and breads were all homemade and super high-quality - and the service was excellent. Yes, you have to pay $45 for valet parking over and above the normal hotel rate, but that’s a small price to pay to have the location of this hotel. We were only a couple miles either way from virtually everything that we wanted to do on the trip, from Universal Studios to Hollywood and Highland, to the various movie Studios that we went to visit, etc. We were only gonna stay two days, but as our plans changed, we just decided to stay, as we really liked the place. Can’t say that about too many hotels I’ve been to recently. Worth the stay for sure if you’re coming to Los Angeles and don’t want to stay in a standard corporate hotel.
