We stayed at this hotel from the 30th June to 5th July. Having read the reviews we were nervous but I honestly cannot see what people have to complain about for the price you pay. Check in was spot on and "Keith" was very accomodating in getting us a nice room facing the hollywood sign. (the quieter side too). The... more

My friends and I (from Norway), stayed here for 9 days. Check-in went well, and the staff was charming and polite, as well as serviceminded. The rooms we're just what we expected, since the prize was low. Not large but somewhere inbetween. It was clean and didnt smell like an ashtray, even though it was a smoking-room. The showers needs... more

Location of this hotel is the best thing about it - it is located on Wilshire blvd, the main street in LA, a rather safe location. Bus stop across the street, as well as metro station. When we asked the taxi driver that drove us to the hotel is this place safe, he said: This street good, one street up... more

Sheets had spots where they were very thread bare, almost to the point of holes. Very loud traffic noise coming from Wilshire. My room was not... more

I stayed here for a few nights and it was not all that great. I had been at another hotel in hollywood the week before and wished I had stayed there for my entire stay. This hotel at one time was most likely a luxury hotel. Not anymore- It really needs to be remodeled very badly. The carpet in the... more

I was skeptical because the photos on hotel websites are not very accurate and this hotel was no exception. The 1st room was nicer than the 2nd room (we had to switch rooms because the a/c wasn't working, but they sent someone over right away to check and switched us when it couldn't be fixed right away. That was fast.... more

!st visit to Cal, and our choice of this hotel was the biggest mistake we made in our 3 week trip. The hotel was in an area we didn't feel comfortable in particularly after dark. The rooms are very tired and in desperate need of refurbishment. The bar is very poorly stocked, after purchasing 4 bottles of lager the first... more

Overall very dirty - hallway badly stained, mold in bathroom. and more. pillows worn-out to thin, beds were hard-rock uncomfortable. They put wrong size bedding, which made wrinke and made more uncomfortalble. A/C was not working properly, so was very warm in the room. more
