"The Whiskey Hotel hits the spot. We had a king bedroom that faced the Hollywood sign and literally I don't think there's a better view in a Hollywood Hotel. Everyone was friendly and nice. The restaurant is superb and the drinks were better than the local bars. They had an amazing special of two steaks, an appetizer, bottle of wine, and desert for $100 bucks. If you're a couple you know you are already spending that much and not getting half of what they throw in so it's an amazing deal. People that complain about the area have obviously never been to LA or an actual sketchy part of town, the surrounding area is harmless, some interesting characters sure but if your car is in the parking garage you're gonna be ok. I walked to numerous bars and my wife walked solo as well. It's an older converted building with a beautiful interior if the rooms are "too small" go book the local roach motel. The king bed was great, the sitting chairs very comfortable, the bathroom was massive and the shower had a bench. I think some people just like to complain. I don't see myself coming back to LA anytime soon but if I did I would look here no problem."
