While this is an older building and the room has not been updated in decor (everything was outdated, mirror glass peeling, duct tape on the floorboard, dark paneling), the room was clean and everything worked. The elevator was very slow, I used the stairs after the first time. If you are looking for an okay place in a great location near Beverly Hills, this should meet you needs.
