"Eclectic, youthful, fun: Mama Shelter is the kind of hotel that feels like its own little world. And though it’s a short walk from the neighborhood’s most iconic landmarks—Amoeba Records, Arclight Cinema, and The Hollywood Walk of Fame—there’s plenty within its walls to keep you from venturing beyond its walls, including a Cali-inspired restaurant, bustling cafe, and convivial ground floor bar. The sun-drenched rooftop, however, is the real draw; with its colorful seating, playful snack menu, and live entertainment, it always feels like the best party in town." - Christina Perez
