The realness and kindness and overall hospitality of the magic castle hotel is very worth it. It has a very cozy feel, and the amenities are all worth looking into/ utilizing.

Randy sat and entertained all my silly questions about the history of the hotel and a bunch of movies that related to old Hollywood culture. I've lived within 30-40 minutes north and south through 27 years of life, and this is one of my favorite hotel experiences I've ever had. If you're a real one this is the place for you.

We were able to get admission to the Magic Castle through the Magic Castle Hotel by booking a room at their location which is adjacent to the Castle. We made a day of it by checking in with Nicole who took great care of us, the hotel offers complimentary car service to Yashimiro which is located on the hill above both the Castle and Hotel. We went up there (as I posted earlier) for drinks and nibbles before the show which was later. When we came back we were able to clean up and dress into the accepted attire for the Magic Castle. Nicole and her co workers offered us complimentary champagne upon arrival, a cornucopia of delicious snacks, assorted cappuccino/lates, soda and soft serve ice cream all with 24 hour access. We got a great 2 bedroom room which worked perfect for what we needed, our besties daughter and husband met us at the hotel later and they spent the night when we drove home. Room was great, pool area was very inviting with the intense heat we were having. Staff were amazingly helpful and the room rate was very reasonable for a Hollywood location. What a great way to get access to the Magic Castle if you are not a member. We had a great time at the Castle but photos are not allowed in the Castle during the shows and didn't want to take a chance to photo our fabulous dinners. The food was much better than the last time we were there 2 years ago, shows are always superb and fun. So if you want to visit the Magic Castle for dinner and a magic show book it through the Magic Castle Hotel And make it an overnight experience, the shows run late and it beats driving home after. Nicole and the staff will take great care of you and you can also visit Yashimiro and other local spots in Hollywood. Bravissimo Magic Castle and Hotel. We will be back!

!!BED BUGS!! !!RUDE HOST!!…read more This place was terrible! Cleanliness was at a zero! I saw a couple reviews about bed bugs so of course I double checked! I FOUND SOME! (I even double checked with my parents!) My friend and I were supposed to stay for a weekend, but chose to stay elsewhere, for obvious reasons. When I confronted the owner explaining our situation he was confrontational and rude. He thrust his hand in my face holding the dead bed bug and saying I had a phobia. As a young 20 year old woman it was a scary and anxiety inducing situation all around. He originally refused to give us a refund. Later in our conversation he said he'd give a half refund if we canceled the rest of our stay. It was impossible to do that from our end, because it was past check in time. Expedia called him and he denied our refund fully at first. It took parents getting involved before he agreed to give a half refund. ITS BEEN OVER A WEEK AND STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT! I have audio and photo evidence of our conversation. I'm happy to leave a better review once our refund goes through!

Dominique and her staff go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable and well taken care of. And McConnell's once cream is right around the corner! What else could you possibly wish for.

It was close to midnight when we arrived in LA, and when we called the place to ask how to get there, our sleepy greeter took us around in circles a few times, but we finally found it! We took a larger room [not the cottage, although it looked like a great place to stay for more privacy] which had sole use of one bathroom, and it was more than adequate for our needs. Sylvester served us a gorgeous breakfast every morning, and made sure we were off with bottled water every time we would leave. His demeanor in the morning was truly a great start to every day, and the breakfast was always fresh and HUUUGE portions! The parking is a bit of a pinch when it's full, as you end up somewhat squished between cars or in someone's way, but it was gated, which was lovely. The Secret Garden is situated right off the Sunset Strip, and very little legwork is needed to get to the heart of West Hollywood. For those who are more ambitious, you can walk into the hills, although it's a pretty steep walk. There are two gorgeous cats who walk around and will come and keep you company in your room, if you wish. :)

We stayed at the Dresden B&B back in early September last year. Firstly, let me say that it was…read morerefreshing to pay such a reasonable price for a convenient location so close to all the sights of Hollywood Boulevard. But I was a little disappointed with my stay, considering how much reviews around the web built this place up. First off, where is the second 'B' in this B&B? There was no breakfast offerings at all, so this confused me quite a bit. Secondly, the room we stayed in was nice but was a bit too homey to me. We have stayed in many B&Bs before, and we love coziness as much as the next couple, but the plethora of books and videos under the bed and in all the cabinets made me feel like I was staying in my Aunt's old library/storage room. All in all, Ms. Dresden was incredibly sweet and friendly and made us feel at home. I just was looking for a few more amenities just to make it feel more like a B&B and less like a family member's house. After all, we paid for our stay!

I secured the one night with them, but still needed a place for the other two nights. I did some research and after a cost comparison of the hotels in Century City, we decided that The Garden Cottage Bed and Breakfast was the best property for value and our needs. It's about a ten minute drive to the folks, but it's located in a lovely neighborhood. It is within walking distance to the Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax, and there are some wonderful restaurants nearby on W 3rd. The property is a duplex built in the 1930s. The B&B is the upper apartment and the garden cottage in the back. The proprietors, Ahuva and Bob, live in the lower unit. The grounds and exterior of the house are well maintained (in keeping with the neighborhood!). The apartment itself is lovely - beautifully furnished with high ceilings, hardwood floors, wool rugs, tile floor bathroom. Since we were the only guests the first night, we had the place to ourselves. We stayed in the Terrace Room. The four poster king sized bed, made up with top quality bedding and a down comforter, was very inviting and comfortable. French doors opened out to a covered terrace that overlooked the garden below and the city skyline. The sound of the fountain was soothing. In the room on a side table was a vase of beautiful flowers, a bowl of fruit, some candy, water carafe and glasses. Our room included a private bath with separate shower and tub. There was a nice selection of natural and organic body soaps and lotions, shampoos and conditioners, as well as other essentials. The living room, dining room and kitchen are the common areas of the apartment. It was easy to curl up in the over-sized couch and peruse one of the books or magazines in the living room. In the kitchen we found supplies to make a cup of tea or coffee. There is also a refrigerator if you want to chill a bottle of wine or two, or stash away some treats. We slept like a log. The following morning, our hosts laid out a beautiful breakfast for us. Coffee, juice, salami, assorted slices of cheese, croissants, bread, butter, jam, and a granola-fruit-yoghurt parfait. Not enough? Have your eggs any way you like - omelet, scrambled, poached - served with a salsa on the side. Everything was freshly made or baked locally, and organic products/ingredients where possible. It was a great jump-start to our day. We got back late that night. As we tiptoed to our room we could hear muffled, friendly chatter but it quickly faded as we drifted off to another great night's sleep. We met the new guests in the morning and had a nice conversation over another stellar breakfast. After they left, we also got ready to check out. Before leaving, we had the opportunity to chat extensively with Ahuva and Bob and learn a little bit about their home and family. Ahuva and I chatted about cooking, something we both have in common. She and I could have talked all day if we both didn't already have other commitments. We felt so welcome by their hospitality that we didn't want to leave. Street parking is easy. Bob gives you a guest residential parking permit to hang in your car during your stay, but mind the signs so you don't park on the wrong side during street sweeping days. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt safe walking around at night. Wifi is available. The connection seemed to be best in the living room, less so in our room. For us, the price of our room for two nights was a better value than staying at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. Our hosts were warm and friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure we were comfortable. They are on the top of the list of B&Bs to stay in LA.

I followed directions on the reservation page and attempted to contact the owner before reserving a spot. They offer extended stay, and I had made all plans for the next 18 days around DRAGONFLY HILL. I sent two messages, the second with an afterthought I deemed pertinent. When I didn't hear back from the owners after three hours, I decided I would call and leave a message. The owner apparently picked up the phone in the middle of my message chew ME out for being RUDE. She snarled " WHO IS CALLING ME AT MIDNIGHT!?" It's a business, right? So allow the answering machine to do it's job. She then proceeded to sprew insults at me and finally barked " YOU'RE RUDE, YOU'VE BEEN IGNORING OUR MESSAGES AND IM NOT INTERESTED IN RENTING YOU". What a charming way to treat a prospective guest.

We rented the entire space, which includes a studio, a little kitchen area, a really nice bathroom, and a separate room called "The Frieda Room."I highly recommend renting the entire package -- while we did our filming in the studio, actors hung out in the other rooms. The kitchen has a coffee pot and a refrigerator with water and ice. My absolutely favorite part was that there was A/C -- one unit in the studio that we turned on and off for sound reasons, and one for the rest of the space. WOW. It makes such a huge difference to have a happy, caffeinated cast and crew who don't have to feel guilty about chatting while filming is going on. Also, the B&B team catered lunch for us, and our entire production was incredibly impressed. The lunch went above and beyond expectation, with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Cannot stress how homey and comforting it was to eat a homemade meal in the middle of a really busy day. Five stars! I hope we will have the opportunity to use the space again in the future.
