Noise from the street and restaurant not so good

We were never told there was a charge for parking. Big surprise when we checked out. Its redicules that they charge $19 for parking. Its not like this is LA and they just don't have the space.

Definitely not a five star. We checked in at 8:45pm and were told that the kitchen closed at 9:30pm. We went straight to the restaurant and were told that kitchen was closed. The manager told us we could choose just form 4 small plates. Then we checked the room. We were given a basement with no windows. Next to the electric room that makes noise. We asked to change room. This was denied. We were given a room that should not be used as a guest room. Definitely would suggest to avoid the hotel.

This is an old court building which was not intended as a hotel. We experienced inconvenience in many ways while staying in the hotel. it is ridiculously difficult to park our car and then to check in.

This may have been a 5* hotel at some point, but not anymore. It’s the kind of hotel where you can hear the drain in the other room to snore… that is not 5* standard for long time. On top of that, is out of date, the chair was dirty as hell. Probably some people will call it “cosy” or that “has soul”… I am not clearly that kind of person and I would totally avoid it, it’s on “not comeback” list now

I loved the pool area and the decor/design, the staff was wonderful and the room was very comfortable. Such a cute art deco era hotel!

There were a couple of things in the room that needed repair. The curtains were hard to open and the toilet made a noise when flushed, but we reported it to the staff.
