Couldn't get into it and lost interest in the subject matter.

I'm going to have to agree with the person below who typed a long line of z's. Too many lists of guests transcribed from the hotel register. Too many stories that aren't that interesting about old stars who have mostly faded from memory.

A bit slow in parts, this still ended up being an interesting read (if you're interested in Hollywood history) that might be better consumed in bits and pieces than all at once like your typical book. If you're expecting to read about John Belushi, Jim Morrison, and ScarJo's residencies at the Marmont, you might be a bit disappointed because even though they're mentioned, they are given much less time and space than other Hollywood heavyweights (Jean Harlow, Paul Newman, Roman Polanski, Vivian Leigh, etc.). To a certain extent, this is very much a love-fest, since it was cowritten by one of the former owners. That doesn't diminish the pleasure derived from or the quality on display in the storytelling though.

3.5 Stars. Interesting look into Hollywood history and some fun/scandalous stories about some really big names from the 1930's thru the 1990's. Not quite jaw-droppingly fascinating, but a good fun glimpse into exclusive and elite celebrity private moments.
