Monkerai Nature Reserve

We are a retired couple on holiday from Australia. We found the Historic Hollywood Hotel to be well-priced. It's conveniently located on Melrose Avenue. It is less than 2 km (just over 1 mile) from Larchmont Village for local coffee shops and restaurants. It's also about 3 km (2 miles) from the famous intersection of Hollywood and Vine. Our room was spacious and comfortable with 2 queen beds. The mattresses weren't great, but with one each were satisfactory. The free Wi-Fi worked well enough. The Edmon cocktail bar attached to the hotel was a popular local watering hole with an excellent bar menu for meals. And right next door in the same building was Sweet Corner Coffee and Cakes - good for breakfast, morning tea or a light lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, would highly recommend if wanting affordable accommodation very close to the action in Hollywood.

Very disappointing. Location was good, gym & pool area were nice, crowd was fun. Staff was generally good. Room was very basic, bathroom in particular (a bath/shower combo in a recently built five star hotel?) Pool area was shut down for a whole day for maintenance. Prices were too high for bfast though. Same for drinks at the bar ($90 for 2 cocktails & an order of fries). Concierge was hapless, left work without passing along our file to anyone (we had asked for help for dinner rez & concert tickets), something I have never experienced in 30 years of staying at high end hotels. Anyhow, wont be back and wont recommend.

I was invited to an event, and E-Central was the perfect walking distance from it. It was noisy at night since it's downtown LA. Upon checking in, I received two complementary water bottles, which was a pleasant surprise. My name was on the TV upon entering my room. I appreciated the free coffee and tea in my room as well. All of the staff I encountered at E-Central were super friendly and nice. This made the overall experience great, so I will choose E-Central the next time I visit LA.
