Great Stay

We had a great stay at this hotel it was close to the Greek Theater. The bed was comfortable the balcony was a nice touch. They don’t have their own parking and you can’t stay in the parking lot that belongs to the grocery store next door. We still managed to find good parking close and the car was safe. Were definitely going to stay here again!

This hotel appeared to be a little on the older side and was not the nicest hotel we have stayed at. Parking was annoying since the hotel does not have any included and street parking is limited to certain times and durations. The hotel room itself was huge which was awesome. You have to enter through the cafe to get to the hotel which is a little weird but the service was great and everyone was friendly. Our TV kept disconnecting from the hdmi and reconnecting which sucked but aside from that we had a great stay.

It’s a cute little hotel. The halls smell musty and our balcony door did not lock. The bathroom light fixtures were rusted and the room was small. The bathroom door is also not hung correctly. It scraped along the floor and was difficult to open and close. The hotel should try to negotiate parking with Andronico’s next door. They have ample parking that doesn’t get used at night. We ended up parking there overnight as the security guard said they don’t care as long as you’re not being disruptive or sleeping in your car. But overall it’s a cute hotel with a great location. And it's walking distance to Cal and lots of eateries and shops.
