“In my opinion, this hotel presents a complex picture; while some may find its location slightly removed from key attractions and the surrounding neighborhood less secure for solitary walks, its proximity to public transport and the Waymo service offers convenient connectivity throughout Los Angeles. I believe the building's exterior exudes a certain charm, though the interiors might feel a bit dated to some guests; nonetheless, diligent housekeeping and the 24/7 reception are definite advantages. It's a property with character, appealing to those who prioritize accessibility and service over ultra-modern aesthetics.”

average stay with some issues

friendly staffcigarette smokepaper-thin windows
the staff proved reasonably friendly at times.
The room reeked strongly of stale cigarette smoke. It permeated everything. the noise levels were atrocious. constant traffic outside the paper-thin windows made sleep nearly impossible. i also noted a rather disturbing stain on the bedding, a detail i found utterly unacceptable.

vintage Charm on Melrose

secure hotelpolite stafflarge bedgood bakery
The hotel is secure, and the staff are very polite people. The staff working at the back parking lot is good. They help park cars. The room was clean. It had a firm, large bed. The bakery on the northwest corner had sweets and coffee. It was very good. Parking was availaable.
The toilet was not up to the mark. It feels like going back some years. The facilities were very basic for the price.
