8.2Verified guest“Reception was extremely friendly and willing to help in any way. They called a taxi for me and asked about my evening when I returned — it's the little things I appreciated. I didn't find the area intimidating, though the metro can be a bit sketchy at times. The metro stop is very close and takes you to Hollywood in a couple of minutes. The room was clean and well stocked with towels. The pool and jacuzzi are clean and nice. I liked the security measures in place.”
