This hotel was really cool! It had a retro Palm Springs vibe. The rooms were clean and area was safe. Really close to museums, Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The diner on site was very popular so I’m sure it was really good (we didn’t get to try it). I would definitely stay here again.
