The hotel on arrival gives full on Beverly Hills Cop luxe - as this was the hotel axel foley checked into - check out the original foyer down stairs with fountain.
Service on arrival was friendly and knowledgable.
The overall downstairs felt movie star fame - the crystal ballroom, the lobby, all do the hallways are stepping into a movie scene. As a film buff that was amazing.
The room itself was fine - beds fine, linens inc towels were also new and fine. Bathroom dated - carpets dated, and windows paper thin so even on the sixth floor you could hear someone’s phone ring on the pavement!
My partner used the pool - I looked at it - and it was nice. Getting there did feel a little like walking into the shining hotel though - especially all the old pictures along the way!
The hotel is near the metro so we travelled via the metro to universal, Venice beach and Hollywood BLVD - so is easy to get to. Taxi from the airport was $70 though.
