    Our room was an oasis in the middle of Los Angeles's bustle. The lodging was good and the host was wonderful. If back to Hollywood would stay there in a heartbeat. Would highly reccomend.

    This is a great place to stay while exploring the Hollywood scene. The innkeeper was a great host. We stayed in the Cottage and enjoyed it very much. The garden was indeed secret and a restful place to spend some time.

    Perfect location for exploring Hollywood and environs, many restaurants nearby. The house has a charming little cloistered garden for sitting, and Sylvester makes yummy breakfasts.

    I must say that my wife and I were very disappointed in The Secret Garden. We stayed three nights in early February of 2011 over a weekend and other then it's location to the Sunset Strip, this B&B was the worst one we had stay in since we started patronizing them several years ago. Our evaluation of this B&B is based off of our stays at other B&B's. We stayed in the cottage house during our visit and here are some of the items that we were disappointed in: 1. Lights that didn't work 2. Broken blinds that would not close over the windows 3. Paint peeling off the walls 4. The bed was not made or linens changed from day to day 5. No fresh towels were replaced from day to day. We had to go to the main hours everyday to get towels ourselves if we wanted them. 5. The room was not cleaned during out stay 6. And it looked like it had not been cleaned anytime before we came 7. Parking was a gamble. Depending on the number of guest that they had you could get parked in, as we did. The breakfast in the morning was good, but the second day we were never offered or given anything to drink. For those of you that saw there were two B&B's named "The Secret Garden" we have stayed in both. And the one in Lancaster, PA. really was a "Secret Garden". Given the choice to stay here again or pay more for a hotel...............I'll take the hotel.
