Our apartment was lovely and very clean. Everything was finished to a high specification. The bathroom was very well laid out and well lit. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The location was ideal as it was about 30 mins from Yosemite Village and Wawona.

The price is not good for what you get but, for LA, it was the best deal I could find on a budget. If using the metro, the location is very good as it is right next to the C Line and one stop away from the A Line which can get you anywhere north or south. From LAX, you catch a free shuttle to the metro line and, after a few stops, you're a short walk to the motel. I will include a picture of the hotel from the metro station.

The shower was great, very modern and powerful. The location was ideal for Chinese town and not too far to get taxi to pier for Alcatraz so was quite cheap. You can walk but it was very early when we left and had to be there at 8am. Bed was super comfy and there was a coffee maker in the room

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Caza! The staff were lovely, our room was very clean and spacious with a lovely view of Alcatraz and the Joseph Conrad Park. Huge credit to the room cleaning staff who did a wonderful job on the room every day. The location is ideal , close to everything.We loved San Francisco and Hotel Caza and can't wait to be back!

What a fabulous little apartment in an ideal location! My family was nervous about staying in Hollywood but this place felt VERY safe with no access from the public, it was a clean room and building, with a convenient cheap drink and snack machine just inside the carpark on ground level. The decor certainly creates a happy vibe, and having a little kitchen is great. Easy walking distance to Hollywood strip and Big Bus tours. The greeting message was so lovely, and the instructions were clear and helpful. Thank you!
