Convenient and relatively safe hotel in the Hollywood area. The Aster is centrally located in the tourist area of Hollywood. When you step outside, you can see stars from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The area outside is a bit grungy, but has a lot of foot traffic, so feels relatively safe during the daytime and is next to many food options.
The hotel itself is well-appointed, with a lovely lobby, rooftop, and pool area. The rooms are a generous size, especially compared to similarly priced hotels in the area, and the beds and showers are quite comfortable. Despite being in a central part of LA, the rooms were very quiet over the weekend and it was easy to get a good night's sleep.
I subtracted a star for getting a room with a broken faucet (to their credit, maintenance came up and resolved the problem very quickly) and the staff not being very welcoming.
