Hollywood Blvd. is a very busy road, traffic noise is pretty loud during high traffic times. It's an older property, but in very good condition, well kept. Checkin was pleasant, Marvin and John are both very friendly, offered advice on where to dine, etc. Area around the hotel isn't overly convenient if you don't have a vehicle, we did find a good place to dine within walking distance, but pretty limited. It has a complete kitchen, so probably good for longer stays. Overall, a pleasant place to stay, and would stay here again if in the area.
