Hotel very modern, centrally located, close to many great bars and restaurants. Reception was well manned and happy friendly staff welcomed me on my arrival. Lift to my fifth floor room was securitly controlled by room key. Lovely well decorated room with great shower and views of surounding Christmas decorated streets. A tasty buffet breakfast was taken every day of my stay and the bar provided me with delicious drinks after a busy day. I would like to thank the management and staff for running a great ship. I will definately be coming back.

Music

The services were excellent. However the trance music in the common areas was way too loud, impeding even normal conversation. I would expect a hotel dedicated to old Hollywood would play big band and jazz music. just saying.

This hotel is in a safe and accessible location within Melrose Arch. The retro decor takes a while to get used to but don’t let that put you off. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast’s spectacular. The best part of the hotel is the people. From the front desk to the restaurant to the laundry facilities, everyone is incredibly friendly and efficient. I have stayed here multiple times with my family and alone, and will keep on coming back. Very good value for money.

Guest rooms, pool area and location are great! The lobby needs a complete refurbishment. The lobby is uninviting, dark, unwelcoming and old. It is the only reason why I did not rate it five stars.

The staff is absolutely phenomenal. From the moment you enter the hotel every single person no matter the position is ensuring you are well taken care of. The front desk was so amazing. The dining room staff could not have been more accommodating. The servive was top notch and the food was incredible. The omelets were my favorite, cooked to perfection. The chef remembered my order the next day Impressive!!! The bellhops were very efficient and friendly. Try this hotel you will not be disappointed. Also the decor is straight out of a architectural magazine, very beautiful.
