Loews Hollywood Hotel
Perfect area for walking Hollywood. The valet staff was amazing for drop off/pickup with our rental. Hotel is walking distance to most things in West Hollywood. Close drive to Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Sign & The Observatory. Giving 4 stars because the rooms are outdated & not luxury.
