Recommend stay in Griffith

We stayed 3 nights at the Gem Hotel and found it clean and comfortable. The bedding was good and the bathroom modern and functional. An added bonus was the Bull and Bell Steakhouse on the premises also. We chose a basic room which was fairly snug so if you want more space would suggest looking at the larger rooms. The location of the hotel in Banna Ave is also perfect for getting to the many great places to eat and drink in Griffith. Would stay here again when in Griffith.

Appropriately named - a true GEM

It is a wonderful hotel. Very modern, great room, generous tv, big comfy bed, rich cotton sheets, great location. Couldn’t ask for more! And the attached restaurant - terrific meal! Not cheap - but FAR above the average. Highly recommended if you enjoy a luxury stay.

I stayed in the Standard Queen Room and it is very small and noisy. When i asked the staff about it they confirmed that all the standard rooms on the side are smaller and noisier (because they are next to the hotel's air cons) than the king size rooms that face the street. Level 2 is the quieter rooms. Very disappointed that they didn't tell me this when i booked and hardly slept because of the noise.
