My group found the Lexen to be a great place to stay if you are going to the Hollywood Bowl. It is so much easier to walk there as opposed to dealing with parking or an Uber. It's a 15 minute walk, slightly uphill for those who have issues, but for most anybody it would be easy. The hotel itself is unusual in that there is just a desk someone sits at to check you in; it's very sparse but it did the trick. Our room and bathroom were a good size and clean, the king bed was comfortable, and the AC worked great. There was a small lobby on the second floor to gather if needed. Parking can be an issue because it's stacked; we had no problem but there's a possibility someone could park behind you and if they aren't considerate you may get stuck, but the hotel tries to deal with as best they can. There is nowhere to eat within a 10 minute walk, but after that there are hundreds of cheap and expensive places to dine. We will definitely stay there again.
