The room was perfect, the bed was comfortable and the pillows nice and soft.
The person who welcomed us was very courteous and carried our bags to our room and would not accept a tip, saying that was his pleasure to help us.
Breakfast was just what we needed.

Charming 1950s hotel just off Hollywood Boulevard. So it's very convenient and walkable to the main street. Warm and friendly staff and nice touches like complimentary snacks, soft serve, soft drinks, breakfast, laundry. And heated pool!

Staff and location are highlights of the stay. Have appropriate expectations helps. This is an old Los Angeles apartment complex that was turned into a hotel. As such it's older and dated which is also part of it's charm.

Excellent stay at the Magic Castle. Staff were amazing. Super friendly and helpful. All the services on offer makes this hotel a fantastic choice to stay at. Free laundry, snacks, soft serve, popsicles and the best popcorn we have ever had. Hotel has aged over time but it is a charming Hollywood motel that has so much character and a wonderful management team behind it.

pros: the rooms are spacious, which is good for families that have kid's, my children loved that there was an ice cream machine and a coke machine and how nice the staff were, and that there were free snacks.
Cons: the floor was a bit dirty and the tables were kinda sticky, and the things are a bit old.
