Excellent value for the minimalist traveler that needs the bare essentials. Virtual remote staff check is novel and efficient. Air conditioner did not work, rooms not well sound proof, parking limited but extra two spots outside. Good location. Limited amenities but expected for this value property. Would book again and recommend if at a good price.

Room was tiny, but the bathroom was big. Definitely get what you pay for but it was great for what we needed. Virtual check in was a bit weird if you've never done it before but it was quick and easy. Check out was a breeze. There is an overnight parking lot right around the corner and it is $35 for the night. Check out time is 11am and you can park there until 11am as well so that was great! Just minutes from the Hollywood walk of fame and stores are right around the corner as well! Definitlwy will be staying here again!
