I stayed at this hotel when it was the Holiday Inn Hollywood back in May of '81. The room I had was just two floors below the rooftop restaurant, it was very clean and neat, it had an excellent view of Los Angeles, and at night, it was lit up just like a fairyland.
Unfortunately at the time, Hollywood was very rundown and very decrepit. I compared it to some of the worst neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
I would definitely not stay in Hollywood again. I don't feel safe staying there, despite the good location.
