The Canterbury Suites

This place is a nightmare. The area around the complex is overrun with homeless encampments, trash, and chaos, and management has done absolutely nothing to improve it. Inside isn’t much better—roaches, filth, and a staff that ignores calls and refuses to take action. It feels unsafe just walking outside, and the complete lack of response from the property shows how little they care. Avoid this place at all costs—living here is a mistake.

This is the building all the punk rockers used to lived in …in the late 70s and early 80s… I hung out there a few times with them… Since I was one of them.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Timothy, the concierge, was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the building's history. The room was very clean and spacious. It offered a full kitchen with all the necessary pots, pans and utensils to cook meals, should you desire to do so. I am 6'2" so I was very pleased with the king sized bed. The the bathroom was clean and offered a rain shower head, which not only uses less water than a conventional, it feels great. Despite the building being renovated it was still very welcoming. It is a great value for the asking rate. I will be coming back to stay here again.

Overall I can say that I liked this place. I get the impression that it used to be an apartment building and has been renovated into a hotel, but in an interesting way. The rooms are quite spacious, with floor plans that are unconventional. The beds are nice, large, comfy with more fluffy pillows than you would ever need. The furniture is also nice and new. Bathroom is stocked with shower and bath products that you want to take home with you. Plenty of hand towels, wash clothes and bath towels are already provided when you check in. Every room has a kitchen, mine had a full kitchen, not a kitchenette, a full freaking kitchen which I did not use. The stairway and halls leading to the rooms is dark and possibly still the original wood. Soundproofing hasn't been a part of the renovation, but

This place is amazing. It’s has amazing charm and character. Timothy planned our entire stay and we had such an amazing time. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about Hollywood. Def ask for him at checkin. They are remodeling the place and it has a ton of cool history! This is one of the coolest hotels I have stayed in and I can’t wait to come back when it’s finished!
