Really charming hotel with a great deal of history. The art was clever and fun! We liked the location as we were taking in a show at the Greek Theatre. Food and drink were great and we appreciated the overall staff and referral for safe parking.

Beautiful old building. Great lobby and cool bar. Staff amazingly nice and helpful. The bedroom corridors are pretty shabby and not in a chic way. Rooms feel dirty. Like they slapped a coat of paint on a rundown boarding house.
